Exhibitor details

Fraunhofer IZM presents current research in sensor packaging, sensor development, and sensor networks at a joint Fraunhofer booth.

The exhibit includes a high-precision and lightweight IMU unit with integrated fiber-optic gyroscope which can be used for photogrammetry and topography applications in 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.

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.
