The Sensor Nodes & Embedded Microsystems group focuses on the design and realization of autonomous embedded wireless sensor systems. By modeling and simulating individual components as well as complete systems, the system and performance parameters, such as functionality, energy requirements and operational reliability, are identified at an early stage of development and thus made assessable. This makes it possible to optimize the system specifically for the desired application and to achieve the best possible results with regard to the respective application. Fraunhofer IZM's entire technology portfolio is available for this purpose. During implementation, the working group can draw on extensive experience in HDI design (High Density Interconnect Design).
The following services are offered:
- Development of radio-based sensor systems for the industrial environment
- System design and partitioning
- Energy supply, energy balancing and demand optimization
- Hardware design using innovative technologies by means of HDI design methods
- Firmware design and implementation
- Housing design and component encapsulation
- System testing and system integration
- Simulation and measurement of the energy requirements of electronic assemblies, preparation of energy balances and identification of optimization potentials
- Consulting and review processes for system concepts as well as circuit and layout design in the field of embedded low-power systems and HDI circuits
- Development of embedded systems with edge AI (artificial intelligence methods on resource-limited systems)
