The Fraunhofer Project Center for Smart Manufacturing in Shanghai/Lingang is a cooperation between Fraunhofer IPA and Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). The Project Center researches and develops application-related solutions in the fields of production management, human-robot collaboration and Industrie 4.0.  

The collaboration aims at implementing research projects on digital transformation and smart manufacturing in the Chinese market together with industrial partners.
