H2Giga is one of the three hydrogen lead projects funded by the BMBF as part of the Green Hydrogen Ideas Competition. The aim of H2Giga is to bring electrolysers for the production of green hydrogen into mass production. The FertiRob sub-project, which involves almost 20 partners, aims to automate the production of stacks and electrolyzers, drastically increasing their capacities while meeting quality requirements.

Within the framework of FertiRob, digital twins of the stacks and plants as well as virtual commissioning (VC) are to be established in the coming years. With the help of the digital images, processes will then be optimized before real implementation, thus preventing defective products in advance. In this context, EKS InTec is concerned with the realization and use of partially automated digital product twins and plant twins in combination and based on existing standards such as AutomationML.

Project will run from April 2021 to March 2025.

The research and development project FertiRob is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under the funding code 03HY113E.
