COPA-DATA is working with one of the most renowned technical universities in Europe

It's official: As of now, the chair of food packaging technology at the Technische Universität München (TUM) is a COPA-DATA Registered Partner in the field of educational institutions and research facilities. The focus of the partnership is close cooperation in sciences and teaching, as well as promoting new blood and innovation.

We have been working together with the chair of food packaging technology of the TUM on many levels since 2008. The partnership will now have a defined, official foundation, on the basis of the existing cooperation. The cooperation forms the framework for us for joint projects and regular exchange on developments and trends in science and industry.

Guarantee knowledge transfer, strengthen the power to innovate

As part of the cooperation, we are providing insights into practice, technical support and zenon, the family of software products for HMI/SCADA and dynamic production reporting, to the chair, for educational purposes and project work. Furthermore, we are involved with lectures in relation to the issues of HMI/SCADA, Industry 4.0, security, predictive analytics, augmented reality and bachelor and master dissertations.

Weihenstephan Standards – creating future-proof standards together

The joint work and regular exchange between science and the economy have already borne fruit. We have been involved in the “Weihenstephan Standards” (WS) working group since 2008, under the general direction of the chair of food packaging technology at the TUM. The Weihenstephan Standards allow a manufacturer-independent connection between HMI/SCADA or MES systems and machines in the filling and packaging industry, as well as the foodstuffs industry. For users, this means that the integration of machines into assembly lines becomes significantly easier. The Weihenstephan Standards allow a standardized and uniform evaluation of operating data, such as the calculation of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), complete traceability of batches and a detailed analysis of disruptions.
