During the European Football Championship 2024, part of the Abele Ingenieure team organised an exciting betting game. In addition to the sporting competition and the fun of it all, there is some particularly good news to announce: For each of the 22 participants in our European Championship prediction game, we bought a tree from FC Augsburg for the so-called FCA forest. This means that twenty-two trees sponsored by us will be planted in the FCA's next tree-planting campaign.
The FCA forest is a joint project of the FCA family and the Augsburg forestry administration, which was launched in 2022. Not far from Augsburgs’ Football Arena, between the rivers Wertach and Singold, a climate-resilient mixed forest is being created – the FCA forest. The project is part of the reforestation initiative as part of the city's climate protection measures.
We see this initiative as a wonderful opportunity to promote sustainability and climate protection in our home region. We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the participants in our betting game who made this campaign possible in the first place.

We are KUKA System Partner
Abele Ingenieure GmbH was officially certified as a KUKA system partner last week. Richard Moravcik, a representative of KUKA, personally presented the certificate to our team and honoured the successful cooperation.
This award emphasises our competence in the field of automation and system integration as well as our commitment to the highest quality standards. As a certified system partner, we and our customers benefit from the latest technologies and developments from KUKA.
"We look forward to many more successful collaborations and exciting projects with KUKA," said David Abele, chairman Abele Ingenieure GmbH. The certification enables us to offer customised solutions and further strengthen our position in the industry.
We would like to thank KUKA for the award and look forward to a continued successful partnership. Together we will develop innovative and efficient solutions that meet the requirements of our customers.

EU-project BioStruct
The BioStruct project which the Abele Ingenieure are part of, aims to achieve several outcomes, such as increased productivity, ensuring consistently high quality in high-precision manufacturing, promoting strategic independence for the EU manufacturing industry, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. By concentrating on boat building and wind energy, the project directly targets 25 % of the market, and potential applications in sports equipment and automotive are anticipated to boost the share to 45%. With the projected growth of the bio-composites market, the consortium envisions a market potential of around € 100 million by 2030, leading to a significant reduction in greenhouse gases, estimated at 2.5 to 4.3 million tons of CO2 per year.
The BioStruct project brings together 10 European partners. To tackle the existing challenges linked to the utilization of biocomposites in structural components and expand the range of applications for bio-composites, the project has established precise objectives:
Developing an accurate draping process to control fiber orientation
Creating material models to capture natural variability
Integrating nano-structured bio-based sensors for load monitoring
BioStruct has a global budget of over 8 million euros. The consortium’s partners are based in seven countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain).
Co-funded by the European Union (Grant Agreement No 101136335)

Kick-Off for BioStruct
The BioStruct project, coordinated by Profactor, was launched on Tuesday, February 13th. Its main goal is to develop manufacturing processes to boost the use of bio-based fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications. Co-funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union’s research and innovation program, this public-private European partnership involves 10 organizations and will continue for three years.
The following organizations, both public and private, are pooling their scientific and industrial knowledge: Profactor, Abele Ingenieure, Amura, Bladeworks, CIDETEC, Enginsoft, IDEKO, Lumoscribe, NOMA, Techtera
We are partner of DrapeBot - A European Project developing collaborative draping of carbon fiber parts.
Draping is a process used for about 30% of all carbon fibre composite parts to place layers of carbon fiber fabric in a mould. During this process the flat fabric distorts to fit to the shape of the mould. Ensuring the accuracy of draping in terms of position and fiber orientation while avoiding wrinkles is a challenging task. The DrapeBot project aims at human-robot collaborative draping. The robot is supposed to assist during the transport of the large material patches and to drape in areas of low curvature. The role of the human is to drape regions of high curvature. To enable an efficient collaboration, DrapeBot develops a gripper system with integrated instrumentation, low-level control structures, and AI-driven human perception and task planning models. All of these developments aim at a smooth and efficient interaction between the human and the robot. Specific emphasis is put on trust and usability, due to the complexity of the task and the sizes of involved robots. The DrapeBot project runs over a period of four years from January 2021 to December 2024.
This project is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 101006732).
