Design of systems and prototypes for sensor technology

From sensor innovation to real-world solutions: Fraunhofer EMFT brings cutting-edge sensor technologies to life with demonstrators, prototypes, and ready-to-use system solutions. Our system design services guide industry partners from the initial idea all the way to implementation – practical, application-driven, and built for impact.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) do not require individual technologies, but rather integrated overall solutions. Fraunhofer EMFT offers comprehensive system expertise, from the initial idea to prototypical implementation in the design thinking process. Drawing on many years of experience in system integration, we are able to swiftly and efficiently incorporate innovative technologies, such as energy harvesting and ultra-low-power concepts, into new products, thereby establishing the foundations for future-ready applications.

Our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in hardware and software development, electronics, mechanics, optics, and fluidics. This portfolio is complemented by modern methods of sensor data evaluation using locally implemented machine learning, providing clear added value for many industrial applications. Depending on the client's requirements, we provide customised solutions, including feasibility studies, demonstrators, prototype design, system integration and the development of complete sensor systems.
