Wolfgang Poppy (2018)

Wolfgang Poppy (born July 4, 1941 in Warnitz , Uckermark ) is a German engineering scientist . He was a university professor for construction machinery technology (construction and use) and is an honorary member of the expert council of Baumaschinentechnik Münchener Kreis - Expert Panel of Construction Equipment .

Life

From 1961 to 1968 Poppy studied mechanical engineering / specializing in materials handling technology at the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) / specializing in design and production. From 1968 to 1974 he was employed as a scientific assistant at the chair and institute for construction and construction machinery in the civil engineering and surveying department of the TUB. He received his doctorate from this department in 1975 with a dissertation on the problems of pipe conveying of lightweight concrete.

A position as senior engineer at the chair for construction and construction machinery at the University of Dortmund (1974 to 1976) was followed on January 1, 1977 by the appointment of professor for the field of "construction of construction machinery" in the field of construction and production at the TU Berlin, which was the first to do this University of the Federal Republic of Germany had newly established.

In 1994 Poppy accepted the chair for construction machinery technology (construction and use) at the Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg . From 1996 to 1998, Poppy was the dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and played a key role in establishing the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg.

From 2001 until his retirement (2006) he was Managing Director of the Institute for Conveying and Construction Machine Technology , Steel Construction, Logistics (IFSL) at the University of Magdeburg , since 2006: Institute for Logistics and Material Flow Technology (ILM).

Scientific work

In research and teaching, Poppy represented his subject as an interface between mechanical engineering and construction with close links to industrial practice. His research activities focused on machines for concrete construction, earthworks, road construction, precast factories and recycling with a focus on function optimization, operational safety, process engineering, drive optimization, control technology, automation, wear reduction, durability, structural dynamics and ultralight construction.

Until the 1970s, research on construction machinery was focused on operational studies. In close cooperation with the Research Association for Construction and Building Material Machines, Poppy has built a bridge between the high-tech offerings of mechanical engineering, construction machinery manufacturers and the construction industry. For a long time, the construction industry was reluctant to offer these products - especially the applications of microelectronics in construction machinery, the use of automation options and the use of robots on construction sites.

In order to bring construction machinery research into the focus of construction machinery manufacturers and the construction industry, Poppy initiated the international information center "Research live" in 1989 , which is held every three years as part of the world's largest construction machinery trade fair, bauma in Munich, with scientists from universities and institutes. Poppy has thus created a platform for diverse contacts and cooperation between science and all industrial and economic sectors involved in construction.

As a representative of the VDI-Gesellschaft Bautechnik, Poppy was involved in the establishment of the VDE / VDI specialist group for microelectronics and its transition to the VDE / VDI society for microelectronics, microsystems and precision engineering , in which he was head of the applications in mechanical engineering department.

Diverse developments in the robotization of construction in Japan triggered similar activities in numerous industrialized countries and led to the establishment of the Association for Automation and Robotic in Construction (IAARC) , in which Poppy was a German representative. From 1999 to 2000 he was President of the IAARC .

The usual distribution of tasks in the construction industry among numerous participants, e.g. B. Architects, designers, structural engineers, planners and construction engineers, was traditionally associated with a large variety of specific software systems that opposed the exchange of data between those involved in a building. Early on, Poppy suggested an information technology logistics network for the systematization of data exchange between all those involved in construction, including construction machinery manufacturers. This met with lively interest from the relevant associations, but its implementation in practice was only taken up with a long delay. This development has been evident for several years in the course of the comprehensive digitization of construction in Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is also to be accompanied by the use of robots.

Poppy is a founding member of the Expert Panel of Construction Equipment of Baumaschinentechnik Münchener Kreis , which made him an honorary member in 2013 . In this panel of experts, he also worked very closely with Michael Ketting , who was President here for many years and has been its Honorary President since 2015 .
