We drive open domain
software enabled technologies
Established in 2021, SETLabs Research GmbH initiates and researches innovations in the context of domain-open, complex and sustainable systems that are characterized by a high degree of networking, autonomy or adaptivity.
In these kinds of systems, innovations are typically enabled by the skillful and intelligent interaction of software and simulation, as well as the specific HW/SW integration. The resulting application-oriented solutions are used in the automotive or railway sector and are transferred to robotics, logistics, energy and healthcare.
Our vision is to promote sustainable development, production and operation of technical systems by means of trustworthy digital technologies.
