Over the past 50 years more than 3000 engineering students have successfully obtained their university degree certificates in the area of automation of discrete production engineering. The staff members have published 120 monographs, books, didactic materials and manuals. The staff members have worked out more than 160 research projects, approx. 80% of which were successfully implemented in industrial companies and the rest were applied in the training process.

Since 1998, the department has held annually International Scientific and Technical Conference "Automation of Discrete Production Engineering" within the scientific days of the Technical University of Sofia. The conference is attended by leading scientists from Bulgaria and abroad. A special session is held, where innovative developments of students and young scientists are presented. Presentation of companies working in the field of automated discrete production and mechatronics is organized. Within the framework of the conference, a Round Table is held where current issues and problems of education, science and business are discussed.

Since 2019, the department publishes the magazine " Automation of Discrete Production Engineering ". The magazine has a scientific and scientific-applied orientation in the fields of automation of discrete production, mechatronics, robotics, virtual engineering and innovation. Magazine "Automation of Discrete Production Engineering" is included in the National reference list of contemporary Bulgarian scientific journals with scientific review under number ID № 3188 with ISSN 2682-9584.
