Thereby the focus in on intelligent process management, regenerative processes and innovative waste heat utilization. The main field of application is the nonferrous melting and die casting industry.

In addition, the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences aims to strengthen applied research and development in the field of industrial energy efficiency on the long run- The KIEff is part of the Energie Campus Nürnberg, an interdisciplinary Think Tank of seven research institutions (including the University Erlangen-Nürnberg an various Fraunhofer Institutes) in order to develop new technologies for the future energy system.

In numerous publicly funded projects and commissioned works specific solutions for industrial partners have been realized. One example of the work carried out so far by the competence center is the development of a software-based management system to increase energy efficiency in the smelting operations of the metal industry is an example of the work that has been carried out by KIEff so far.
