New research laboratory at the TU Vienna: Digital twins revolutionize technology!
On October 31, 2025, a new Christian Doppler laboratory for digital twins was opened at the TU Vienna. Martin Kozek heads the laboratory that specializes in monitoring and optimizing distributed parametric systems. Digital twins are virtual representations of physical systems and enable precise monitoring in real time. The focus is particularly on technologies that need to be monitored on a small scale in order to quickly identify deviations from simulations. This is particularly relevant for systems such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers.
The development of the CD laboratory was funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics, Energy and Tourism and is the result of a cooperation between the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics and the Institute of Energy Technology and Thermodynamics at the TU Vienna. Companies such as AVL List GmbH and Semperit GmbH are also actively involved. The research is also supported through partnerships with the Research Center Jülich and the University of Ljubljana.
Innovative technologies take center stage
The goal of the CD lab is to develop mathematically precise and efficiently computable models for real-time applications. Digital twins are intended to help detect deviations at an early stage, extend the service life of components and make production processes more environmentally friendly. The research focuses on monitoring and diagnostics to identify stress factors and make predictions about service life and product quality.
An essential part of the work is modern sensor technologies and so-called “soft sensors”, which enable a detailed analysis of the system behavior. These approaches make it clear how important it is for companies to continually work on optimizing their processes to ensure competitiveness and efficiency.
The context of digital innovation
The connection between innovative research in Vienna and industry is a clear indicator that the future of technology lies in close collaboration between science and business. By combining digital expertise and practical application possibilities, the aim is to achieve sustainable progress in various technological fields.
