VProSaar Distributed production for the Saarland automotive industry: The ongoing structural change (due to decarbonization, electrification, etc.) in the automotive sector will inevitably lead to the adaptation of existing but also to the development of completely new innovative products and services. In order to maintain competitiveness and consolidate the position of production facilities (in this case mainly SMEs), it is necessary to...
H2-DruckSensHydrogen-compatible pressure sensors made of ceramic sensor bodies with highly sensitive sensor layers The project is part of the BMWi programme ‘Innovations for the Energy Transition’ and deals with the development of hydrogen-compatible pressure sensors. With the help of ceramic sensor bodies and highly sensitive stretch-sensitive thin films, pressure sensors are to be developed that are ideally suited for applications with hydrogen, a key element of the energy transition. The project is a...
AFM-DMSD strain resistance effect of metallic sensor layers in antiferromagnetic state The piezoresistive effect enables highly sensitive sensors for mechanical quantities such as strain, force and pressure. Known materials are semiconductors and granular metals, in which the band gap or the electron tunneling allows the sensor effect. But there is another material class that is still little researched for this sensor technology: antiferromagnetic metals such as chromium. At...
DMSplusX - Smart strain gauges for self-monitoring sensors The DMSplusX project, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) together with the Saarland State Chancellery, focuses on extending the functionality of novel thin-film strain gauges (DMS). By means of innovative structuring methods and the use of functional thin films, multisensory strain gauges are to be created, which are...
Met4FoF – Metrology for the Factory of the Future The Factory of the Future (FoF) as a connected production environment with an autonomous flow of information and decision-making represents the digital transformation of manufacturing to increase efficiency and competitiveness. Transparency, comparability and sustainable quality assurance require reliable measurement data, processing methods and results. To a comprehensive metrological...
EaSy ML – Assistance Evaluation System for Machine LearningProblemsCost-optimised production combined with high process and product quality is a key promise of Industry 4.0 and the associated digitalisation. There are numerous examples of how machine learning (ML) techniques help to analyze data, gain new insights into production, and optimize production.
H2 and cation contamination: Aging effects, material and sensor developmentSubprojects: With this project, ZeMA is continuing its research work in the field of infrared absorption spectroscopy and, together with the project partners, intends to develop a novel measurement system for online hydrogen quality monitoring - an important building block for the reliable use of environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel cells in the transport sector. Problem solvingCurrently...
RePreS – Redundant pressure monitoring for safety-critical applications The R&D project involves the development of particularly fail-safe pressure sensors, which are monitored by a connected logic. This project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In many applications, the pressure in liquids and gases is used to control the process but also for personal and plant safety.
MoSeS-Pro – Modular sensor systems for real-time process control and smart status assessment Today, the Industry 4.0 project of the future offers the opportunity to take the flexibility, energy and resource efficiency of production processes to a new level through intelligent control and networking. Electronics and sensors, which are among the strengths of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Germany.
