From industrial data to intelligent,
interoperable and resilient systems
The European Institute for Robotics, Automation & Resilient Systems. Connecting applied research, industrial implementation and standardisation — from Asset Administration Shells and Digital Product Passports to Industrial AI, robotics and resilient manufacturing.
Our Core Capabilities
EIRAS combines applied research, industrial experience and standards expertise to turn emerging technologies into implementable solutions.
Industrial Data Ecosystems
Building interoperable product and asset data across engineering, production, service and circular value chains.
Industrial AI & Generative Engineering
Turning industrial data, AI and engineering knowledge into deployable solutions for real production environments.
Intelligent Automation & Robotics
Developing flexible automation and intelligent robotic systems integrated with the industrial IT and OT landscape.
Resilient Manufacturing Systems
Designing adaptable, sustainable manufacturing systems that remain operational under changing conditions.
Independent by design.
Applied for impact.
EIRAS is an independent Swiss non-profit research and innovation institute. We bring together industry, academia and European networks to transform emerging technologies, standards and research results into validated industrial solutions.
We operate at the intersection of applied research, industrial implementation and standardisation. Our work focuses on resilient, human-centred and sustainable manufacturing systems and on the data, automation and intelligence required to make them possible.
Research Principles
We operate independently and vendor-neutrally. Research results are made publicly accessible wherever possible while respecting legitimate confidentiality and intellectual-property requirements.
Innovation Policy
Our non-profit structure enables us to act independently and vendor-neutrally while working closely with industry, research organisations and public partners.
Selected Projects
Digital Product Passport and Asset Administration Shell
From QR code on the product to standardized, access-controlled product data — a working DPP reference chain.
News & Activities
Why Resilient Manufacturing Requires More Than Robust Technology
Robust technology is designed to resist expected variation. Resilient manufacturing goes further: it gives an organisation the ability to anticipate disruption, absorb its effects,…
Industrial AI Beyond the Hype: From Models to Reliable Manufacturing Decisions
Industrial AI creates value when trustworthy data, engineering knowledge and intelligent models come together to support reliable decisions in real manufacturing environments.
Asset Administration Shells as the Foundation of Interoperable Industrial Data Ecosystems
Industrial data is abundant, but its meaning is often trapped in proprietary systems and local conventions. Asset Administration Shells provide a standardised way to…
From strategic question to industrial evidence
EIRAS offers different collaboration formats depending on the maturity, scope and objectives of the challenge.
Academy & Executive Briefings
Focused learning formats help management and technical teams build a shared understanding of emerging technologies, standards and regulatory developments.
Advisory & Roadmaps
We assess the current situation, identify relevant use cases and develop realistic implementation and architecture roadmaps.
Demonstrators & Industrial Pilots
We translate concepts into tangible demonstrators and validate them with real products, machines, data and industrial processes.
Research Projects & Consortia
We help define research questions, build complementary consortia and develop national and European research and innovation projects.
Long-term Partnerships
Institutional and membership-based collaboration provides continuous access to expertise, networks, research activities and emerging industrial solutions.
