Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS have developed SURFinpro, a solution that uses artificial intelligence and optical measurement technology to detect, classify and visualize defects in real time, and report them to the plant carrying out the production.

Developing pioneering technology solutions and bringing them into application - that is the goal of Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS.

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS are working with Swissphone Wireless AG to develop reliable, wireless lone worker protection with an integrated area alerting system.

Fraunhofer IWS has developed a process to produce lightweight panels and profiles significantly faster as well as cheaper than with conventional methods.

Force-sensitive, dynamic, energy efficient and with a range of applications – these qualities are what distinguish the new robot gripper created by the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design IEM.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have developed an innovative production architecture, where orders are issued in a newly developed production language and carried out autonomously by machine tools or robots.

Fraunhofer IZM’s plug-and-play sensor platforms enable rapid testing and validation of concept ideas for wireless sensor and radar sensor systems.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS developed the MACsec Controller IP-Core, which implements the latest Ethernet security standards. It provides authentication, integrity and encryption of data between different nodes of a Local Area Network (LAN).

Fraunhofer researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in Oldenburg have developed a speech recognition solution for use in industrial manufacturing.

With its innovative micro-electro-mechanical systems and micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems, the institute opens up new applications through improved properties and additional functions, such as smaller dimensions, greater energy efficiency and higher performance.
