Hall 1, booth 1-317
From May 9- 11, 2023 the International Trade Fair SENSOR + TEST will be taking place in Nuremberg in Germany. The trade fair with the concurrent conferences is considered one of the world’s leading events in sensorics, measuring and testing technologies.
Fraunhofer IZM presents current research in sensor packaging, sensor development, and sensor networks at a joint Fraunhofer booth.

Fraunhofer IZM has developed two plug & play platforms, designed to quickly test and validate concepts for wireless and radar sensor technology. This removes the need for a separate and time-consuming configuration of the sensor and data processing technology, because both kits come with uniform interfaces and a configuration process, modules, and assemblies designed according to the Lego principle.
The department "Wafer Level System Integration" (WLSI) develops advanced packaging and system integration technologies and offers customer-specific solutions for microelectronic products in the overall scope of smart system integration.
Photogrammetry combines 2D and 3D images to convey physical information, e.g. from monitoring wind turbines to visualizing buildings and industrial plants as a basis for state monitoring.
This requires accuracy down to the centimeter range and extremely compact designs of the GPS-independent sensor systems integrated into fully autonomous and unmanned flying objects and cargo drones (or UAVs: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
A comparison of pressure sensors with wireless transmission capabilities for IoT applications will also be on show. The pressure signals are read out via by an IC-integrated multiplexer, transmitted via Bluetooth, and recorded in real time in a continuous chart. This type of readout electronics in combination with miniaturized sensors makes it possible to measure physical quantities wirelessly in prototypes even in hard-to-reach places. Up to 10 different pressure sensors are used to demonstrate the differences between the sensors in terms of their sensitivity, hysteresis, and response time.
Tech News
Smart fabrication, smart logistics, or smart farming: Distributed networks of sensors are working hard for us every single day. In the past, every application needed a custom solution to run the sensors and process the data. Researchers at Fraunhofer IZM have now developed a platform that can be easily mixed and matched for each purpose – saving lots of effort and resources along the way.
Research Project AI Radar
Come snow, rain, heat, or gloom of night - autonomous vehicles have to be safe on the road and work in every weather. In addition, they must be able to navigate routes with little traffic and few turns just as well as busy roads in urban areas. In order to detect potential obstacles and hazards, even those coming from the side, at an early stage, sensors are needed that enable 360° monitoring all around the vehicle. This requires extremely powerful and coordinated software and hardware components.
Research Project AKIRA-UTM
In the future, swarms of drones will hover over our cities and deliver parcels, goods, and even critical supplies. To turn this vision of the future into reality, solutions are needed to ensure the safe operation and automate air traffic control at lower altitudes.
Developments in recent years have clearly shown how drone technology evolved from experimental test setups and one-off solutions into a tool that can be used on a regular basis. The next step is now to move from adapting standard drones for specific applications to seeing systems holistically when working towards comprehensively optimized system solutions.
