Research Profile
Stefan Haslinger studied computer science at Hochschule Mittweida, earning his bachelor's degree in Computer Science and later a master's degree in Industrial Management with a focus on IT-Management. During his studies, he specialized in areas such as distributed systems, enterprise application development, and data analytics.
Since 2012, he has been working at the Sächsische Binnenhäfen Oberelbe GmbH (SBO), where he gained extensive experience in IT process optimization and digital transformation within maritime logistics. In 2024, he joined the Distributed Operating Systems (DOS) research group at the University of Hamburg as a research associate. In a hybrid 50/50 role, he combines practical expertise from his work at SBO with scientific research at the university, contributing to the InteGreatDrones project.
His research interests include:
- Data analysis and transformation
- Digitalization and process optimization in maritime logistics
- Distributed and scalable IT architectures
Research Projects
InteGreatDrones
The rise in production of cost-efficient unmanned aerial vehicles ("UAVs" or "drones") opens up new possibilities for process optimizations in industrial settings. The InteGreatDrones project focuses on the use of drone swarms for data collection in dynamic inland terminals, addressing challenges of changing cargo types and stakeholder interactions. The project's goal is to employ autonomous drones to capture terminal activities, ensuring privacy through local data processing and selective sharing. A central middleware connects drones and existing systems, supporting terminal-specific applications like route optimization and predictive maintenance. This project seeks to provide real-time data for informed operational and strategic decisions.
