Welcome to DIGI Lab
DIGI Lab is a micro factory testbed and playground at AU BTECH. The focus of DIGI Lab is ‘Testing Digitalisation’ using state-of-the-art technology such as Autonomous Electric Vehicles, Edge and cloud computing, Robotics, AI / ML / DL, 3D hybrid manufacturing materials and much more to amplify digital, lean and green factories of future.
As a testbed, the lab brings the tools and scenarios of industrial digitalisation into one open space, offering students an opportunity to test theoretical concepts in practice and in a safe environment. This helps the students gain practical experience and promotes active learning and problem-solving capabilities.
The purpose of the DIGI Lab is to support the development of real businesses based on disruptive digital technologies.
DIGI Lab is a space to…
- Explore how IoT technology can facilitate industry in improved efficiency, business competitiveness, green business models and circular economy (supporting material recovery or regeneration).
- Showcase industrial IoT (industry X.0) solutions.
- Engage in projects and research in the fields of mechatronics and biomimetics.
- Inspire and intrigue curiosity of young professionals using digital technologies for business development.
- Support the local industry by educating young professionals in digital technologies and business development.
- Build, facilitate or support spin-offs i.e. start-ups, based on original research from DIGI Lab.
- Attract businesses and organizations to generate fundable collaborations with DIGI Lab.
