Here is a selection of projects you will see at the ETH Industry Day 2021:

Robotics & AI

When travelling in the Alps, you might come across an unmanned excavator clearing rockfalls, as if by magic. At the ETH Industry Day, you will get to know more about this collaboration between the ETH Robotic Systems Lab, SBB and Armasuisse.

Health & Food

With a view to optimising the ecological footprint of herbal extracts used in the production of sweets, Ricola decided to send one of its employees on a sabbatical to ETH Zurich. Find out more about the outcomes of this further education programme for industry.

Manufacturing & Materials

The grinding of railway tracks extends their lifetime and reduces rolling noises. Scheuchzer started a collaboration with inspire and ETH Zurich in order to investigate and optimise the grinding process. At the ETH Industry Day, you will meet the project partners and hear about what they have learned.

Management & Digitalisation

In high-pressure die casting, it gets hot. Bühler and the Swiss Data Science Center take a data-driven approach to improve the cooling. The researchers and industry partners will talk about this “cool” collaboration.
