About

Benjamin Montavon is a leading researcher in large-scale metrology, cyber-physical production systems, and robot-guided automation for advanced manufacturing. His work focuses on integrating distributed measurement systems to enable flexible assembly, process-integrated quality control, and closed-loop manufacturing. Montavon’s major contributions include developing communication architectures for multiple distributed large-volume metrology systems (2017, 9 citations) and model-based interfacing of metrology instruments (2019, 9 citations), which allow for real-time sensor data integration into control loops—from local robot guidance to full product lifecycle management. His recent work on model-based view planning for robot-guided optical 3D digitization (2022, 2 citations) addresses the challenge of quality assurance for small, individualized lot sizes, using variable mesh resolution to automate surface geometry reconstruction. With a total of 20 citations across his most-cited papers, Montavon’s research is pivotal for advancing cyber-physical production systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive manufacturing processes. His work stands out for bridging theoretical models with practical automation, making him a key figure in the evolution of metrology-assisted assembly and digital quality assurance.
