As members, companies have exclusive access to the Industrie 4.0 Maturity Center and the FIR at RTWH Aachen University, the interdisciplinary team of scientists at RWTH Aachen University behind it and the RWTH Aachen Campus network, so that cross-application synergies can be discovered and new business relationships can be established. There are many opportunities for mutual exchange and joint cooperation. Membership with us gives companies increased visibility at RWTH Aachen University, which also helps them to recruit qualified employees and managers.
Research & Development
Enrolled companies benefit from preferential access to research results, lower research and development costs and competitive advantages such as product and process innovations. The i40MC supports enrolled companies in the development and implementation of new business models. In projects and studies, new application-oriented solutions are developed that are tailored to the situation of the individual company. In addition, our members are co-creators of the annual center study.
Community
We are a think tank for various protagonists from the software and hardware industry and provide a platform for combining established corporate knowledge, start-up mentality and research in order to jointly develop new products and services in the field of digitalization. Enrolled members of the Center receive exclusive access to the member network, which provides an excellent basis for cooperation and the development of joint, innovative project ideas and their implementation. Member meetings are held twice a year, where our community can exchange ideas with each other and with members of the other centers in the Smart Logistics Cluster.
Education
The rapid progress in the field of digitalization requires innovative qualification and further training courses in addition to the conventional courses offered by universities and further education academies.
The training courses and concepts are constantly being developed and an academy on the topic of Industry 4.0 is being established.
Services
A central element of the Industry 4.0 Maturity Center is consulting and training. Based on research findings, the scientists and academics work closely with the enrolled companies to develop customized solutions for each individual member. Our members benefit from the Center’s interdisciplinary team, which brings together a wide range of expertise: For example, the RWTH chairs, the FIR at RWTH Aachen University and the management consultancy Onward Partners cooperate here. This results in a wide range of consulting and engineering services.
