Sensors, embedded systems and data infrastructures that work seamlessly together: that is the essence of the Sensor Systems & Data Lab. It helps start-ups, SMEs and established companies turn technological concepts into validated, scalable solutions – from the first feasibility study to pre-industrial prototypes.
The lab draws on expertise spanning sensor engineering, embedded and intelligent systems, IoT and edge computing, data science, system integration and interoperability. This enables solutions that connect physical measurement, digital intelligence and operational application in a practical, deployment-ready way. A key strength is the lab’s end-to-end view of the data lifecycle – from acquisition and processing through to visualisation, interpretation and use in informed decision-making.
To support this, the lab combines specialised facilities for electronic characterisation, rapid prototyping and outdoor applications with robust digital infrastructure. In this way, raw data becomes actionable knowledge, and technical concepts are transformed into solutions that seamlessly integrate into broader digital environments and can be scaled with confidence.
