Curriculum vitae

After an apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician, Dirk Schweers studied mechatronics at the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and systems engineering at the University of Bremen, specialising in automation technology and robotics. Mr. Schweers completed his studies in 2015 and has been working as a research scientist at the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics since 2016. Since then, he has been working in the Robotics and Automation Department on the combination of machine learning, image processing and control technology tasks.

Research interest

• Machine learning, image processing and control engineering
• Energy and resource efficient production
• Process optimization through robotics and automation systems
• Industry 4.0, cyber-physical production and logistics systems

Activities

Dirk Schweers is working on the NaBeMi research project, which aims to develop a methodology for planning sustainability-promoting resources for manual and hybrid assembly systems that takes ecological, economic and social aspects into account. A web-based assistance system supports the resource planning process. The methodology integrates three quality control loops in order to resolve conflicts between classic and sustainability targets and enable holistic resource planning. This analyses conflicting objectives and ensures a high level of planning quality. stance
