Working Group Sensor Nodes & Embedded Microsystems

Our group designs and develops manufacturing approaches for autonomous miniaturized systems and components. Modeling and simulation of both individual components and complete systems allows us to determine functionality, operating lifetime, and reliability at early stages of development. This allows us to customize the design process to individual applications.

Reference projects in the field of Sensor Nodes & Embedded Microsystems

ASTROSE – Power Line Monitoring

ASTROSE® is a wireless sensor network for the monitoring of high and extra high voltage power lines. The technology was developed to address power transmission shortfalls resulting from decentralized power harvesting of renewable energy supplies.

InCoMo

The research project “Intelligent Condition Monitoring - Models, Algorithms, Autonomous Microsystems” is establishing the basis of models and analysis methods for condition monitoring and lifetime prognosis and for the development of appropriate microsystem technology for autonomous sensor and monitoring systems.

CoMoLeFo

In this project, we are developing a condition monitoring system for power electronics in photovoltaics to implement condition-oriented maintenance using lifetime predictions for power electronic components.

ECoMoS

Here we are developing a sensor network that monitors engines and storage facilities in industrial environments. The sensor nodes harvest the power required for operation from their environment and communicate wirelessly, which makes cabling redundant. Vibration sensors detect failures, for example in a paper factory, and alert a technical control center further on down the line.

Universal Sensor Platform (USeP)

A Revolutionary Sensor Platform for Next-Generation IoT Systems.
