Fraunhofer IPMS has developed a demonstrator that combines sensor technology, data acquisition and AI-based data evaluation for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
The 'Microdisplays & Sensors' business unit of the Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP will be integrated into the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS with retroactive effect from January 1, 2024.

In the "RealSec5G" project, the data security requirements in communication devices for 5G/6G infrastructures are to be tested in a deterministic time-sensitive network (TSN). The Fraunhofer Institute IPMS is designing a TSN-MACsec function block for this purpose.
European industry is facing the challenge of translating innovations in the field of quantum technology into scalable processes and products. The 'Qu-Pilot' project aims to help here by using the existing pilot manufacturing infrastructure.

In the Fraunhofer lighthouse project NeurOSmart, the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS and four other institutes (ISIT, IMS, IWU, IAIS) are researching particularly energy-efficient and intelligent sensors for the next generation of autonomous systems.

Deterministic and real-time capable data transmission via TSN. In addition to traditional Ethernet cabling, WLAN, 4G/LTE and 5G are being discussed for data transmission. But there is another way: using light, as Fraunhofer IPMS will be demonstrating at the trade fair.

Fraunhofer IPMS is working on an approach for the contactless, three-dimensional detection of distances, movements and gestures for communication with robots and in operating theaters, for example. A new class of micromechanical ultrasonic transducers is being used for this purpose.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have developed a high-resolution camera that uses several detectors to generate congruent images for different spectral ranges through a single lens.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) have developed a new solution for charging wearables - portable electronic devices - while on the move. An unusually small energy converter embedded in the shoe makes it possible.
When it comes to wireless transmission methods in the industrial environment, we usually talk about radio. To what extent could the medium of light also be an alternative to cable?
