About SIMS
This research group will be an intensified, multi-disciplinary research collaboration with RESPECT (RF wireless) and CISMAT (Carinthia Institute of Smart Materials ) for Mechatronic sensor integration in the development of integrated wireless sensors and smart manufacturing/smart living. It is not only aligned with the diverse research facilities inside FH, but also follows the strategy of Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) to increase the international competitiveness in the future.
Goal
The goal is to investigate, develop and integrate complete autonomous sensor modules e.g. based on IC/ASIC platform that integrates sensor actuation, sensing, data processing, RF/wireless communication and portable energy harvesting on a single small chip /system-board for Industry IoT/industry 4.0 smart manufacturing applications.
We would expect the Austrian companies to benefit from our research either in an increased market for their products, or to develop and market devices, which result from the research group work.
