The scientific focus of the department – is the research and development of modern automation systems, computer-integrated, robotic, and security technologies based on the development of technical, informational, mathematical, software, and organizational support that guarantees high technical, economic, qualitative, and quantitative indicators for organizational and technical objects, technological processes, and production.
The department has a scientific school called “Production and Automation Technologies in Instrument Engineering,” founded in 1985 by Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, Honored Worker of Education of Ukraine, Laureate of the State Prize in the field of science and technology of Ukraine, academician of the International Academy of Applied Radio Electronics, academician of the Ukrainian Technological Academy, Igor Nevliudov.
One of the main tasks of the scientific school is to develop and preserve the intellectual potential of the country by training scientific personnel. To date, 7 dissertations for the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences, 36 dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Technical Sciences, and 4 dissertations for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy have been defended within its framework.

The relevance of the research conducted, its modernity, and necessity are confirmed by participation in state budget and economic contract projects, obtaining patents, and publishing monographs, textbooks, and teaching aids. The results of the work performed are regularly published in professional, international, and rating journals included in scientometric databases, and the research results are used by leading enterprises, as confirmed by implementation reports.
The scientific school has international grants funded by major corporations that are leaders in these fields of research (such as Siemens PLM Software). The scientific school participates in the international DAAD program (Germany) and works with the largest enterprises in Ukraine and the CIS countries. Scientific research is relevant not only in Ukraine but also abroad, as evidenced by the inclusion of representatives of the school in the editorial board of the American Journal of Modeling and Optimization (USA).
