Since the beginning of 2020, ELABO has been a partner in the AIMFREE consortium project, a collaborative initiative led by the WZL of RWTH Aachen, Fraunhofer IPT, and industry partners such as Porsche AG, e.GO Mobile AG, ipolog GmbH, Siemens AG, BÄR Automation GmbH, and Pilz GmbH & Co. KG.

This three-year project focuses on the parallelization of workstations and the implementation of adaptability and flexibility in automotive final assembly. The core of the project is a holistic approach to designing an agile assembly system, encompassing everything from system design to planning and control. The results are validated in assembly plants and demonstration facilities.

In nine work packages, the project develops automated architecture, data models, station technology, vehicle logistics, software solutions, and control systems.

ELABO plays a key role in developing reconfigurable station technology and intelligent interfaces for ERP/MES systems and the shop floor.

ELABO collaborates with the Fraunhofer Society, the largest research organization for applied research in Europe. The Society's research fields include health, security, communication, mobility, energy, and the environment.

An example of this collaboration is the event "Connected System World: Digitalization in the Factory of the Future," which took place in September 2017 in Crailsheim. Alongside ELABO and the Fraunhofer Society, Würth Industrie Service GmbH & Co. KG also participated in this event.

ELABO is a partner of the regional network Mechatronik BW, an ever-growing cooperative alliance of powerful partners from industry, services, research, and education. The core goal of the network is to consolidate the mechatronic expertise available in Baden-Württemberg and to raise its profile beyond the region.

Another key objective is to address the increasingly complex conditions of the working world, particularly in the context of Industry 4.0.

To achieve this, various projects are undertaken to develop innovative solutions, which are subsequently presented at public events and exhibitions. A well-known example is the “Arena of Integration,” showcased annually at the Motek trade fair.

ELABO collaborates with the independent and neutral VDE Testing and Certification Institute GmbH, a nationally and internationally accredited institution specializing in the testing and certification of electromechanical devices, components, and systems.

An example of this collaboration is the Hannover Messe 2017. As a thematic partner, ELABO was integrated into the VDE stand, where they jointly presented the topic of Industry 4.0.
