Intelligent sensor systems for production

The one-day seminar “Intelligent Sensor Systems in Production” offers a practical introduction to the application possibilities of sensor technology for smart factories in the context of Industry 4.0. The course teaches the basic types and applications of sensor technology – from theory to practical examples and from individual industrial sensors to the Internet. The focus is on application-oriented practice and is based on the production data acquisition system INA-sense, which was developed by Fraunhofer IOSB-INA.

Moderators / Lecturers
Dr. Holger Flatt, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA
