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...
Due to the future development in the context of Industry 4.0, the networking of the individual components continues to rise sharply, as cyber-physical systems increasingly interact autonomously with each other. Vulnerabilities in production systems in the form of design, implementation and configuration errors can therefore have dramatic consequences for the entire networked application. Vulnerabilities offer potential for...
Industrial IT Security – Development of a holistic security management concept for digital production Text Problem-solving Due to the future development in the context of Industry 4.0, the networking of the individual components continues to rise sharply, as cyber-physical systems increasingly interact autonomously with each other. Vulnerabilities in production systems in the form of design, implementation and configuration errors can therefore have dramatic consequences for...
AnoKo – Detection of anomalies in the communication of industrial equipment 4.0 to defend against cyberattacks Text Problem solvingThe future development of Industry 4.0 will further increase the interconnection of the individual components, as cyber-physical systems increasingly interact autonomously with each other. Vulnerabilities in production systems in the form of design, implementation and configuration errors can therefore have dramatic consequences.
KIAS AI-supported quotation calculation in special machine construction Problem definition Mechanical engineering has been one of the structurally shaping industries at the Saar for many years. Woll Maschinenbau produces customer-specific special machines and production systems for customers in the automotive, food and medical industries at its Saarbrücken site. Two success-critical processes are of enormous importance for the acquisition and implementation of projects in special machine construction.
RICAIP Research and Innovation Center for Advanced Industrial Production Problem Industry 4.0, the use of artificial intelligence in production and digitization in general have not yet reached the industrial sectors across the board. There are not only differences between small, medium and large companies, but also from region to region. In order to strengthen industrial companies at the European level, it is necessary to...
Smart Implants 2.0 – Development of a novel sensor actuator FrakturversorgungsplatteProblemstellungEven today there are, individually different, sometimes significant disorders of bone and soft tissue healing. These healing disorders have serious consequences for the individual patient (pain, revision surgery, significantly extended treatment times) and represent a significant health economic burden (treatment and, if necessary, pension costs, resource consumption, incapacity for work, etc.). Individual factors play a...
The Robotix Academy project aims to establish a permanent research cluster for industrial robotics in the Greater Region. Within the framework of the INTERREG V Greater Region 2014-2020 programme, ZeMA was able to successfully submit a project in the field of industrial robotics and human-robot cooperation. Human-robot cooperation is one of the key technologies to ensure the competitiveness of the Greater Region in the future.
Mini EAP - miniaturisation of electroactive polymer systems for sensor and actuator applications The ERDF-funded project investigates the miniaturisation of dielectric elastomers in the millimetre range. Both metal-carbon, sandwich-like thin films for the production of electrodes and new types of applications are being researched. The project is a collaboration of the Chair of Intelligent Material Systems...
