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.
The research group SIMS is Member of
CIME – Carinthia Institute for Microelectronics
The Carinthia Institute for Microelectronics (CIME) is a competence center for research and development of integrated electronic systems. CIME is strongly associated to the department of Integrated Systems and Circuits Design (ISCD) with a srong network to other department within the faculty of Engineering & IT at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and is also based on the research of Josef Ressel Center “Interact” which was operated at CUAS until 2019.
The research group SIMS is Member of
CiSMAT (Carinthia Institute for Smart MAterials and Manufacturing Technologies) is a newly founded center, dedicated to the research and development of innovative solutions for the Industry of the Future. It is part of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences (CUAS), and is supported by the KWF (Kärntner Wirtschaftsförderungs Fonds).
CiSMAT works closely with a network of local and international companies, which it also supports in their transformation efforts towards Industry 4.0.
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.
