Funded R&D Projects
Flexigen
Flexible and efficient generation of unique ship components using an innovative laser-assisted additive manufacturing process. Examples of this are door corner reinforcements, point foundations and stiffeners against welding distortion.
smart.START
Development of a digital assistance system and digital twin to increase the efficiency of the commissioning process
Green Light
Development of new shipbuilding concepts for the use of fiber composite materials based on bio-based benzoxazines in potentially load-bearing ship structures.
MVDC4S
Development of a Medium Voltage Direct Current System for Ships (MVDC4S)
SuSy
Development of Low Voltage Direct Current Supply Systems (LVDC) for raising the efficiency of distribution grids and increasing the integration of alternative energy sources.
FASTWATER
In FASTWATER we develop a conversion concept for a river cruise ship from diesel to methanol propulsion. Additionally, we support our partners in converting three inland waterway vessels from Diesel to Methanol.
NAUTILUS
NAUTILUS develops a marine energy system that consists of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and a battery that are equipped to a hybrid genset, fuelled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
smartBOND
This project is about the development of a robot assisted automated adhesive bonding process for applications in the shipbuilding production process and outfitting. This should enhance the productivity and quality monitoring.
KISSS
This project is about developing an AI-based manufacturing technology for autonomous laser welding of complex ship structures. MEYER WERFT's tasks here are the development of the overall manufacturing concept, the definition of the overall AI task and the final application development.
VITAL
VITAL is about the development of bio-based thermoplastics for three production processes: Large scale 3D-Prints, beat foaming and injection moulding.
Our aim is to receive an approval in principle for this material by a classification society to be used in passenger ships.
HyCruisE
Development of a new PEM fuel cell large-scale system with integrated reformer technology for LNG/SynGas and development of the shipbuilding infrastructure to cover the hotel load of a passenger ship.
