About
Thilo Schlegel is a researcher at the forefront of cyber-physical production systems and modular manufacturing. His work addresses the growing complexity of customized production by pioneering new software models that integrate digital technologies with physical factory floors. Schlegel’s key contribution lies in developing a standardized coordinate system that merges real-world factories with their digital shadows, a concept he advanced through the novel use of game engines for software control in manufacturing environments. His most cited paper (12 citations) introduces this approach, demonstrating how to automate complex modular systems for highly customized orders. Additionally, Schlegel has critically evaluated industrial robots for use in versatile, scalable manufacturing systems, extending evaluation criteria to include mobility, scalability, modularity, universality, and compatibility—key transformers for the Matrix Fusion Factory concept. Through this work, he is shaping the future of flexible production, enabling factories to adapt rapidly to personalized product demands while maintaining efficiency and precision.
