Detlef Zühlke (* 1949 in Bad Pyrmont ) is a German engineer and university professor .

Career

Zühlke studied electrical engineering and technical computer science at the RWTH Aachen , worked from 1976 to 1985 at the machine tool laboratory WZL of the RWTH Aachen and received his doctorate there in 1983 on robot programming as a Dr.-Ing. In 1985 he moved to Deutsche Lufthansa AG. Here he was most recently the main department head responsible for aircraft maintenance.

From 1991 to March 31, 2017, Zühlke held the chair for production automation (pak) at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern . In 1998 he founded the Center for Human-Machine-Interaction (ZMMI) here, which provides research and services in the field of the design of human-machine systems for industrial applications.

From 2009 to May 31, 2017 he headed the research area Innovative Factory Systems (IFS) at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) GmbH.

Zühlke is the main initiator of the technology initiative SmartFactory KL eV - the intelligent factory of the future, which was founded in 2005 with well-known partners from industry and science. The partners are working together on the intelligent factory of the future. The result is the In the first manufacturer-neutral, European demo factory, the Industry 4.0 production plant of the SmartFactoryKL partner group. Everyday technologies and ideas from practice are researched here and the latest ICT technologies are transferred to automation technology. The system has been exhibited annually at the Hanover Fair since 2014.

Prof. Detlef Zühlke handed over the management of the SmartFactory-KL to Prof. Martin Ruskowski in May 2019. Since then he has organized and founded together with SmartFactory-KL Germany, Brainport Industries Netherlands and Flanders Make Belgium the European umbrella organization SmartFactory-EU EWIV, based in Kaiserslautern, of which he is the founding managing director. This association offers all European operators of research and demonstration centers for smart factory technologies a platform for cooperation and information.

His efforts in all research areas are aimed at transferring the principle of the “ Internet of Things ” to the factory environment: the “Factory of Things”.
