The virtual impulse seminar in cooperation between BIBA and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg offers an overview of the latest developments in the field of cobots in the manufacturing industry and their possible applications in small and medium-sized enterprises. Based on this, considerations on economic and technical feasibility will be presented. We also show how cobots are already being used successfully in various application areas and how you can use simple decision rules to quickly analyze whether the use of a cobot is worthwhile for your company.

Optimizing production processes—whether through automation, AI, or energy efficiency—is currently a focus for many manufacturing companies. What are the latest trends in innovative production? And how can your company benefit from them? We will answer these and other questions in our LabTour “Innovative production – automated, smart, and energy-efficient” on February 17, 2026, at the BIK – Institute for Integrated Product Development at the University of Bremen.

Join us and experience live how AI increases energy efficiency in robotics and production processes – from interactive dashboards to demonstrators for automated rotor blade manufacturing. Take away concrete ideas and pilot concepts, make valuable contacts while networking over finger food, and gain insights into innovative manufacturing processes and AI-supported optimizations.

The LabTour is organized in cooperation with the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Bremen-Oldenburg, the BIK – Institute for Integrated Product Development at the University of Bremen, the BIBA – Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics, and the Umwelt Unternehmen office.

The 10th edition of the International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics (LDIC 2026) will be held at the University of Bremen from February 25 to 27, 2026 and will be accompanied by project workshops and further interesting satellite events. The dynamics of logistics processes and networks are at the center of the conference series established by the research cluster LogDynamics.

There will be presentations of empirical, theoretical, methodological, and practice-oriented contributions dealing with the modeling, planning, optimization, and control of processes in supply chains, logistics networks, production systems, and material flow systems and facilities. LDIC 2026 offers a forum for discussion on advances in this field. The conference is aimed at scientists from the fields of logistics, operations research, engineering, and computer science. It aims to bring together research and practice on the topic of “dynamics in logistics.”

The virtual impulse seminar provides an overview of technologies for increasing transparency in supply chains. We also give you an in-depth insight into the use of mobile sensor technology and artificial intelligence in the supply chain. You can look forward to an innovative technical solution for a networked, intelligent supply chain that integrates mobile sensors, gateways, 3D image processing, cloud platforms and digital services. As a result, quality-relevant environmental influences on the products as well as condition-relevant data from transports, such as geolocation, are continuously recorded and digitized with mobile and stationary sensors. Based on this data, digital services are provided for the companies involved, which help to identify transport problems at an early stage and provide further assistance in ensuring product and process quality.
