Welcome to 
!
The research focus of the Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ) is the holistic investigation of optical measurement systems, which includes the design, realization, modelling, characterization and, finally, the application of novel measurement techniques. By applying a rigorous system-based analysis of the measurement systems, the limits of measurability and the respective uncertainty principles are investigated in order to determine and to surpass the limits of state-of-the-art approaches. Beyond pure measurement tasks, automation aspects and the application of quality controls is investigated as well. However, the core competence of BIMAQ is measurement system engineering, which is a key discipline for solving technical and overall social challenges.

Kid's University 2026 in Bremen
Already for the fifth time, the BIMAQ is part of the Bremen Kid's University (https://www.uni-bremen.de/kinderuni). In the contribution "We see colors ... and temperatures as well?" Prof. Fischer discovers together with the pupils a new, fascinating world. What would the world look like, if we could see infrared light with our eyes? With a colorful bunch of experiments and a pre-easter surprise, fundamental questions on the nature of light and heat radiation are answered. In addition, the importance of contacless temperature measurements for our sociecty as well as for current research activities are highlighted.
Dear children!
It was so great to see you all again in a lecture hall of the university. Wir are so excited about your many, many question. In case one question still remained answered, do not hesite to write me an e-mail to . We can't wait to see you again at the Bremen Kid's University next year!
Your BIMAQ team from the Uni Bremen!
Awarding of the Deutsche WindGuard Young Scientists Award 2025 for Measurement Technology, Automation and Quality Science
In 2025, the DWG Young Talent Award was presented for the ninth time at BIMAQ for outstanding student work at the Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ) in the Faculty of Production Engineering at the University of Bremen. The prize is intended to promote young engineers and is sponsored by Deutsche WindGuard GmbH (DWG).
In awarding the prize, particular emphasis was placed on progress for science, metrological system understanding and the relevance of the research results for practical measurement tasks. The award is associated with prize money of 500 euros per master thesis.
2025 the awards went to:
Master-Arbeit: Janos Ritter, M. Sc.
"High-Resolution Laser Triangulation Measurements from Large Working Distances"
and
Master-Arbeit: Keno Krieger, M. Sc.
“KI-basierte Prognose der Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien”
Congratulations!
The new Bremen Cluster of Excellence “The Martion Mindset” is coming!
How does the production of components of sufficient quality for use work when labor and other resources are scarce and the production environment is anything but ideal? This is an important question that needs to be solved, not only for Mars, and one that also requires measurement technology to break new ground. For example, through the consistent use of robots. And it has been clear since June: The University of Bremen was successful in the Excellence Initiative and the Cluster of Excellence “The Martian Mindset - A scarcity-driven engineering paradigm” in the field of engineering science will be launched in 2026! And we are delighted to be part of this unique research work and team.
