Research Halls and Laboratories

Its research halls, test centres and laboratories provide the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML with equipment for logistics research that is unique in Europe. From packaging tests through trials of the most diverse identification technologies in the most varied environments to research on swarm intelligence, our facilities make (almost) anything possible. This includes your own participation, so that you can have your own packaging examined by our experts, come by yourself  and test various identification technologies for your application together with our scientists, or watch research work on the logistics of the future.
