By writing a thesis at the IIB, you develop the competence to comprehensively research and reflect the state of research on a current issue and to design your own (software) concept based on this. Usually, a thesis at the IIB also includes the development of a demonstrator application. Even if the IIB has not yet been represented in your chosen study area or study specialisation, a thesis at the IIB is generally an option for you.
Theses can be written in German and English and include a compulsory colloquium. For individual theses, the use case is derived from practice. Therefore, supervising the thesis is supported by a practice partner.

Ladungsoptimierung in der Baulogistik auf Basis von BIM
BIM-based freight optimisation in construction
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
Construction logistics deals with the transport and storage of building materials as part of the execution of a construction project. The task of supply logistics is to provide the construction site with the required building materials as resource-efficiently as possible and in line with the demand. Within the framework of transport planning, the means of transport, i.e. lorry, train or ship, must be loaded as optimally as possible. This planning process could be supported by the use of a Building Information Model (BIM). The thesis is offered with possible practical support from Max Bögl.

Automatisierte Erstellung von Materialpässen für Gebäude
Automated creation of material passports for buildings
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
The material passport of a building contains all products and materials that are used in a building. It is created during the planning or construction phase and serves to identify and track which materials and products can be reused in a building in the event of renovation. Since a lot of work is required to create detailed material passports, it will be investigated how digital methods and existing databases can reduce this effort.

Automatisierungspotential der Baulogistik
Potential for automation in construction logistics
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
How can autonomous floor conveyor vehicles and automatic robotic order picking make construction logistics more efficient? Construction logistics deals with the transport and provision of building materials in the course of executing a construction project. Against the background of the shortage of skilled workers, it is important to investigate in the context of construction logistics how the working time of skilled workers can be made more efficient through the use of robots.

KI-Methoden zur Planung und Datenauswertung in der Baulogistik
AI methods for planning and data analytics in construction logistics
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
From Machine Learning in logistics process control to Natural Language Processing for the evaluation of delivery notes: Construction logistics is a decisive factor for the successful implementation of a construction project. In the stationary industry, detailed planning of logistics has long since become standard. The characteristics of the construction industry make such detailed, but also complex planning difficult. The use of artificially intelligent systems can significantly reduce the effort involved in logistics planning, simplify its use in practice and increase the efficiency of construction logistics.

Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
As a result of the decided nuclear phase-out, the proper dismantling of nuclear power plants is in the focus of research. The dismantling and final disposal of radioactive waste is associated with high costs. Moreover, there is only limited space available in the final repository. Which contribution to mastering this challenge do digital methods from engineering informatics have to offer?
