Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems

An AI platform should build an ecosystem for health economy. The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is participating with the institutes IMS and IIS as consortium partners and wants to help SMEs with the integration of AI solutions. The VDE wins with the project “CareFul KI” in the AI innovation competition that was organized by the BMWi and thereby proving themselves against 130 other applicants.

Prof. Dr. Karsten Seidl is the new head of the department micro- and nanosystems at Fraunhofer IMS in Duisburg. He also holds a chair for medical technology at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Karsten Seidl helps to strengthen the topic area of biosensors at the research institute in Duisburg.

Enable energy solutions for IoT applications with the development of self-sufficient sensors – this is the mayor goal of the European initiative “EnABLES”. 10 European research institutes are working together on this project. Also on board is the Fraunhofer- Institute for Microelectronic Sensors and Systems IMS in Duisburg.

Fraunhofer IMS developed highly-precise sensor-readout-ASICs for robust application. High-precision, robust and secure – regarding sensors, these characteristics seem to contradict. Fraunhofer Institute for Microelectronic Circuits and Systems IMS in Duisburg has again performed an important step for the secure implementing of industry 4.0 and developed two sensor-ASIC series for capacitive and inductive sensor readout that do combine these attributes.
