Austria's first digital pilot plant opened in 2015 at Technology Center Seestadt. Working in collaboration with 20 companies,
experts from TU Vienna use the facility to research and develop new methods for the virtualization of the production process.
Alongside the pilot plant, TU Vienna also conducts research at the K1 centre "Austrian Center for Digital Production (CDP)",
developing solutions for Industry 4.0. The arrival of the Atos European IT Competence Center is a further addition to the
Seestadt competence hub.
With global players such as HOERBIGER, Opel and Atos and the top-level research at the TU pilot plant, Seestadt is rapidly
evolving into an Austria-wide centre for Industry 4.0 research and application.
