Projects and products

"PERFORMANCE" is a project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). It is a cooperative system platform for video upload, evaluation, partially automated analysis and archiving.

Novel applications of quantum technology for imaging - this is what the lead project QUILT is all about. At Fraunhofer IOSB, a technology for remote sensing using entangled photons is being developed.

The Fraunhofer project "MAVO BauCycle" carries out recycling of fine-grained construction waste.

"MUSKAT" is a project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It involves a multi-sensorially supported recording of offenders in crowds in complex operational situations.

Faster set-up and changeover: In the project, consistent plug-and-work capability was achieved in production-related software components - using the AutomationML and OPC UA standards. In the process, non-I4.0-communication-capable components are also retrofitted with I4.0 features.

The project "Signature Assessment" deals with the evaluation of camouflage materials, the analysis of building materials for the design of thermographic investigations and the verification and validation of thermal simulations.

This work area is concerned with the evaluation of signature changing measures by computer-aided, mathematical as well as behavioral-physiological investigations. Using image or video data, the ultimate goal is to determine how various changes in the signature affect camouflage performance, i.e. the change in detection, recognition and identification by humans and algorithms.

With the "Living Sparkle" project, Fraunhofer helped a manufacturer of effect pigments to record the appearance of effect pigments in coatings.

The detection of ballistic missiles during launch or after cloud breakthrough by means of satellite-based, electro-optical sensor technology is a promising means of precisely pre-directing fire control radars and thus enabling rapid initiation of countermeasures.

System concepts for the urban mobility of tomorrow

EXPERT is an EU-funded project with German and Spanish partners that aims to support drivers in driving in a fuel-efficient manner. To achieve this goal, a software module ("Driving Efficiency Module") is being developed in the MRD department of Fraunhofer IOSB.

In the in-house research project CrossTEP-OPAL, we are developing a web-based platform toolbox for the acquisition, presentation and intelligent evaluation of sensor data. The aim is to establish a data science pipeline in order to be able to implement application projects revolving around sensor data quickly and cost-effectively.

The project "FriDa - Fresh Data" aims to digitally map the freshness status of food within the entire supply chain from harvest to sale. In the process, the technical possibilities of Industry 4.0 are translated into the food industry in an exemplary manner.

Optical reflections on surfaces of objects and materials play a major role in many areas. BRDF is used in the analysis of materials to obtain detailed information about the optical reflection properties.

As part of the project, a software suite tailored to the production environment was developed to support a wide range of process and product optimisation tasks, e.g. performance and condition monitoring, quality optimisation, product development, variant management, trial planning and updating of master data.

Within the E-MonAut project, measures for the optimization of the operational management are investigated and evaluated. These measures are expected to make a comparatively large contribution to the reduction of the final energy demand with a relatively low investment volume while at the same time actively protecting the building fabric (e.g. prevention of mold growth) and considering the individual user needs (comfort and economic criteria, information requirements).

Urban heat islands degrade the quality of life in many urban centers. This is why local councils of fast-growing megapoli work hand in hand with scientific communities and research facilities to identify and reduce the man-made sources of UHI by imposing forestation, employing sustainable and heat-emissive materials and strengthening public transport.

Das Fraunhofer IOSB erforscht modernste, automatisierte Analyse von Sicherheitsaspekten industrieller Systeme und bietet so wertvolle Lösungen zur Sicherheitsstatusermittlung.

The aim of the H2020 project is the digital management of production capacities for the development of flexible supply chains between consumers and producers - especially for rapid response to pandemics.
