About
Dr. Johanna Uhe is a pioneering researcher in manufacturing engineering, specializing in the inline monitoring and wear analysis of hot forging processes. Her work addresses a critical industrial challenge: the inability to assess die wear without costly machine downtime and disassembly. Uhe’s major contribution is the development of a novel, robot-aided endoscopic fringe projection system, which enables, for the first time, *in situ* wear measurement of hot forging dies. This breakthrough allows for automated loading and real-time tool inspection directly within the forging press, moving beyond traditional visual assessments of dismantled tools. Her most-cited paper, published in 2022, introduces this handling concept and has already garnered attention in the field. By providing a non-destructive, inline method to quantify wear, Uhe’s research promises to significantly extend die life, reduce production stoppages, and improve process efficiency in high-temperature manufacturing environments. Her work represents a vital step toward fully automated, data-driven forging operations.
