Central process control, by intelligent good carriers and cyber-physical systems (CPS) enables a complete transparency of the current production status in order to control production planning flexibly an efficiently.

Containers are equipped with sensors and s-net^® technology, e.g. to detect and communicate filling levels. The smart containers form a cyber-physical system and provide the necessary data to automate Kanban processes.

The INNOVAGE project combines a continuous analysis of the movement behavior of seniors with the implementation of appropriate movement measures based on s-net^® technology.

The combination of asset tracking systems and s-net^® networking technology ensures secure monitoring and localization of cargo for real-time control of air freight containers.

Development of a generic system for the flexible networking of multi-level production processes to increase resource-efficient productivity

Closely meshed monitoring of the environmental conditions to ensure high quality in the storage of lebkuchen.

Efficient digital monitoring of air pressure, temperature and humidity in production areas to improve production conditions for man and machine.

Efficient digital remote monitoring of wells according to legal requirements

To prevent the loss of trees in cities, a data-driven recommendation algorithm is being developed that determines when which urban tree needs to be watered. The mioty® wireless technology for data transmission is ideal for this task.

transmission of location data to visualize and analyze various bike routes

The transformation of the district town of Saarlouis into a smart city is to be made possible by, among other things, parking space monitoring, a traffic guidance system, sensors for recording environmental data and the reading of meter readings using mioty®.

In the "SMARTIES" research project, Fraunhofer IIS and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) are testing small weather balloons equipped with the wireless transmission technology mioty®. The aim is to develop a system of intelligent atmospheric tracers, known as SMARTIES.

The results from the was4wos project are intended to protect lone workers in the future and prevent unnoticed accidents by means of a reliable and fail-safe real-time system. The developed emergency signal system for lone workers thus helps end users as well as large companies to increase the safety of their employees and to reduce costs at the same time.

Critical screw connections protect all our lives and must be checked regularly. The intelligent screw connection enables wireless and energy-autonomous monitoring of the screw as a simple and universal assembly option.

Continuous assessment and transmission of air quality and ventilation data throughout the mine.

The soil sensor technology sub-project of FutureIoT is concerned with technology and application research into future IoT systems for use in digital agriculture. IoT solutions for recording soil parameters are being developed and tested to ensure needs-based fertilization and the careful distribution of water. 

Building on the soil sensor technology sub-project of FutureIoT, Fraunhofer IIS is continuing to pursue the collection and evaluation of sensor data in agriculture as part of the Regional Sensor Cloud (RSC) project.

Sensors with batteries are now a thing of the past. The combination of our Energy Harvesting- and mioty-technologies enables energy-efficient and maintenance-free operation of sensors.”

The FutureIOT joint research project develops IoT solutions for practical challenges in the “City.digital” and “Agriculture.digital” project domains. Robust radio transmission is provided by the mioty^® LPWAN technology.

Components made of fiberglass composite are reliably checked for constant loads. Integrated sensors can record temperature and load data. These can be read out by means of wireless data and energy transmission.
