🇨🇦 AllFactory – University of Alberta
AllFactory is the only learning factory in the world focusing on autonomous aquaponics from the engineering perspective. Provides a unique Aquaponics vertical farming method and is a new sustainable and green farming technique that uses stacked layers of plants to improve plant yield per unit area while reducing required resources.
🐟 🌱Aquaponics combines aquaculture (farming of fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil), a technique to grow plants with aquaculture effluent.

🇦🇹 The Pilot Factory – TU Wien
In the Pilot Factory at TU Wien research and testing is carried out to determine how the industry of tomorrow should look like.The decision was made to use components from 3D printers, because these are relatively complex objects that can be produced in a large number of variants.
⚙️ The Pilot Factory is important for several reasons: Scientific know-how about optimal production techniques should be developed, which will then benefit the economy. At the same time, plays a decisive role in teaching. There, the students can get to know the entire supply chain and help develop it – from construction to production and assembly to quality assurance and logistics. It should be possible there to develop new prototypes and new process technologies.
Thould also be used for further training.
