Fraunhofer IPMS
Error-free data transmission in the smart factory
Machines, logistics and products communicate in modern industrial plants. At INDUSTRIAL production + handling, the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems will be presenting solutions for industrial communication in the technology fields of Li-Fi, RFID sensors and communication IP cores.
Wireless data transmission using Li-Fi enables secure and fast data transmission in real time via light. This ensures efficient and interference-free communication between machines in modern industrial plants. Up to now, real-time data transmission has been carried out via cable using special fieldbus systems. Cables are not suitable for mobile applications in industrial robots and automation technology.
RFID sensors are able to monitor industrial plants wirelessly. The reader supplies the sensor with energy to carry out the measurement and then transmit the measured values. In this way, temperature, air pressure, humidity and other parameters can be monitored wirelessly and maintenance-free. Fraunhofer IPMS offers services for the system development of battery-free RFID sensor systems.
IP-based design is an approach that helps developers of ASICs and FPGAs to save time and labor by using specified and tested IP cores. Fraunhofer IPMS develops IP cores for industrial communication that enable time-sensitive data transmission (TSN) of devices in Ethernet networks. The Fraunhofer IPMS IP core product family also includes IP cores for CAN2.0, CAN-FD and, in future, CAN-XL and LIN bus systems. Selected IP cores are ASIL-B-Ready and ASIL-D-Ready certified.
The services offered by Fraunhofer IPMS range from conceptual design and product development to pilot series production - from components to complete system solutions. At the virtual industrial trade fair INDUSTRIAL production + handling, visitors can find out about the latest developments at Fraunhofer IPMS and talk to the experts. as
