The technical infrastructure of the institute is provided by the Production Integration Centre (PIZ). The centre’s production and information technology equipment, together with BIBA’s links to information networks, are the basis for pure scientific and applied research:
- Manufacturing Systems, Communications and Telematics
- Computer-Aided Design, Planning and Production
- Logistics and Globally Distributed Production
- Quality Management
- Work and Technology
- Industrial Engineering and Work Design
- Personnel Development and Qualification
Support for these activities is derived through the institute’s link with the production technology department at the University of Bremen and from diverse areas of co-operation with other University departments. The institute’s legal entity, the "Verein zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung in der Freien Hansestadt Bremen e.V.", ensures links to relevant institutions at state level.
BIBA devotes considerable attention to the needs of the maritime industry, one of the traditional industries in the Bremen area. Consequently, BIBA has been and is involved in several research projects related to maritime industry.
