Stephan Kessler

Stephan Kessler is a researcher at the Technical University of Munich, affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Chair of Conveying Technology, Material Handling, and Logistics. His work focuses on construction logistics, digital twins, and IoT integration in building processes. Contact: stephan.kessler@tum.de

• Key research areas: Digital Twin, BIM, DEM simulations, IoT in construction
• Collaborates with Prof. Johannes Fottner on construction automation projects

His research emphasizes digitalization of construction processes through technologies like RFID, machine learning, and simulation tools. Recent publications address tower crane planning, co-robot integration, and bulk material handling standards.

Article trends show consistent focus on construction automation (IoT, digital twins, BIM), material flow optimization (DEM simulations, screw conveyor standards), and equipment lifecycle management (telematics, RFID identification).

Kessler contributes to industry-university collaborations through projects like BauFlott (fleet management systems) and TEP (Tower Crane Deployment Planner). His work bridges theoretical research with practical implementations in construction site logistics.
