Are you interested in data models and their industrial applications? Join the NFDI4Ing Community Meeting on August 10th!

This year’s meeting of the mechanical and industrial engineering community (CC-41) focuses on the application of data models. Guests from the field of production engineering will discuss their importance as well as common difficulties in their design, adaption and usage on the basis of their own experiences and use cases. Modelling complex information and its … Continued

Betty’s (Re)Search Engine

Betty is the NFDI4Ing task area covering the research data management challenges faced by engineers who develop their own software solutions. Betty envisions a future in which every engineer produces verified, high-quality software that can be reused and extended. To that end, Betty wants to identify and provide the missing tools, teaching material and recommendations. … Continued

Final Report: Seed Fund “ReCIPE” – Metadata and Provenance tracking for Conductive Inks in Printed Electronics

While experimental data and methods are commonly reported as “best outcome” figure of merits, the systematic process parameters (while being crucial for achieved outcome, in particular in combination and chains of different process steps) are often neglected or buried in hard-to-access lab books and similar sources. This complicates and prolongs process optimization, especially when different printing and post-processing steps need to be combined for a specific application. The project ReCIPE aimed at setting up a tool for researchers and users of printed electronics that can grow into a broad open database on process parameters and connected outcomes for the wider academic and industry-based community.
