Drones

You can discover the whole world of flying, swimming and diving drones at homePORT during the ITS Congress.

3D printing

Mobile factories enable additive manufacturing. Take a look and learn about the advantages.

IoT & Sensors

The environment can be captured in a useful way by means of targeted sensor technology. A benefit for all.

PORTwings

With the PORTwings drone control centre (PTU - Port Teleoperation Unit), the HPA is evaluating how teleoperated drones (UAV, UUV, ASV & Rover) beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and mobile sensor systems can increase safety in the port area in the future by introducing an operational situation image service. Within the framework of the disaster control HASTA, it is being investigated how large-scale situations, e.g. storm surges, accidents or other ad-hoc incidents, can be supported with high-resolution real-time situation images. In addition, various intelligent port infrastructure management services specially adapted to the infrastructure of the Port of Hamburg and the individual use case environments are being tested and developed.

FALKE – Counter Unmanned Aircraft System

More safety when flying. Sometimes things get tight in the air - for example when drones buzz around over restricted areas such as airports and threaten to get in the way of aircraft during take-off and landing. At Hamburg Airport, tests are being conducted on how automated drones can detect and intercept unauthorised intruders.

UDVeo - Efficient organisation of urban drone traffic

The aim of UDVeo is to develop practical concepts and solutions for the safe and efficient integration of drones into urban airspace. To this end, a legal-technical overall concept for drone traffic management is being developed, taking into account the U-Space Ordinance. During the ITS demonstration, a prototypical USSP control centre and its interaction with drone operator control centres will be presented. In addition, it will be shown how the airspace can be cleared if necessary, e.g. to enable rescue helicopters to land safely.

Echo.1 - Driverless drone for water measurement

echo.1" is the first so-called Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) for surveying waters in the Port of Hamburg. The compact floating drone "echo.1" can travel non-stop in the Port of Hamburg for up to six hours without producing any emissions. High-performance sensor technology is used to improve the data situation on water depths in the Port of Hamburg, especially in very shallow areas. "echo.1" is suitable for mobile and transportable use and thus offers a sensible extension to the existing sounding vessels.

RoboVaaS - Robotics Vessels as a Service

The project goal of the RoboVaas consortium is to provide faster hydrography services, underwater vessel inspection and faster and more efficient action based on real-time information. The focus is on anti-grounding, inspection of vessels, inspection of port infrastructure such as quay walls, collection of environmental data and data muling.

SeaLion
RoboVaaS SeaClear Demonstration

SeaClear

The aim of the project is to develop an autonomous system for the removal of plastic waste (macroplastics) in waters (SeaClear - Search, Identification and Collection of Marine Litter with Autonomous Robots). A combination of flying, swimming and diving robots will identify plastic litter from the air and collect and pre-sort it underwater and on the water. The HPA is part of the international research consortium and contributes practical expertise as well as application testing space.

NetUSV by ENQT

At ITS you can experience the NetUSV-Live and see how the automotive survey drone performs the mobile radio survey of the Norderloch live. The integration of additional data from other measurements from the urban area and Elbe/North Sea are also synchronized and visualized VR-View.

Bionic Production - Smart Mobile Factory

The Mobile Smart Factory is a mobile, flexible and modular 3D printing factory in 20-foot standard container(s) that covers the entire additive process chain. In the Mobile Smart Factory, both metal and plastic spare parts can be produced "on demand", i.e. as needed, and in the shortest possible time; it is also possible to repair components on site. As a result, a significant reduction in logistics and storage costs can be achieved. The Mobile Smart Factory's transportability by road, rail and sea ensures the greatest possible flexibility.

Fraunhofer IAPT - Location-independent repair and spare parts production through mobile 3D printing container solutions

For a reliable and fast supply of spare parts 3D printing processes (additive manufacturing, AM) play a decisive role. Spare parts can be manufactured directly and on demand with AM without separate tooling or warehousing costs. The Additive Mobile Factory® concept shown also enables decentralized & resilient spare parts supply and component repair as a container-based manufacturing unit. This means that spare parts requirements can be met on demand even at remote and difficult-to-access locations can be covered on call on demand. This approach minimizes cost-intensive downtimes, since long production and supply chains are no longer required. The concept is modular and allows customer-specific configuration.
