Join us on Friday, May 8th, for an opportunity to explore innovative factories in and around Bolzano and gain first-hand insights into diverse industrial sectors.
Information regarding industry visits will be provided soon!
During the lab visit of the engineering facilities of the Free University of Bolzano at NOI Techpark in Bolzano, participants will gain exclusive insights into cutting-edge research and innovation. The tour includes the Smart Mini Factory, a state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 learning factory focused on automation, robotics, and digital manufacturing. Visitors will also explore the Building Physics Labs, where energy efficiency, indoor climate, and sustainable construction technologies are studied and tested. The program continues with the Agroforestry Labs, dedicated to research on autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic systems for agriculture and forestry applications as well as safety and ergonomics of agricultural machinery. The Fraunhofer Italia ARENA at NOI Techpark is a cutting-edge research and demonstration space focusing on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction robotics. It serves as a living lab where digital planning, simulation, and automation solutions are developed and tested to optimize construction processes. A highlight of the visit is the Terra X-Cube of EURAC, a unique climate simulator capable of recreating the most extreme environmental conditions for testing materials, plants, and systems under controlled scenarios. Together, these labs offer a comprehensive look at interdisciplinary engineering research and its application to real-world sustainability challenges.
