Project summary

GSI is building the new international accelerator center FAIR, Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research, one of the largest research projects worldwide. At FAIR, researchers from all over the world will gain new insights into the structure of matter and the

Win the evolution of the universe.FAIR is one of the largest research projects worldwide. On a total area of around 150,000 m², 25 buildings are being built, including a 1,100 meter long and 40 m wide underground accelerator ring tunnel and other unique building structures.

What Markus Schwerdtfeger particularly appreciates about lcmd in the FAIR project:
‍

Clear presentation and structuring of the individual processes and the overall overview
Quick implementation into internal processes and ease of use
Effective complexity management
Excellent conflict detection and resolution

The clarity provided by lcmd is very helpful for us. An example: We now transfer the structuring of the buildings to each of the 25 buildings. With analog pegboards, we don't even need to imagine this in the control system.
