Project Green-ISAS
Research on novel methods and technologies to enhance sensor-actuator systems to autonomous Industry 4.0 components
One key to unlock many Industry 4.0 applications is to be found in smart, autonomous sensor-actuator systems. In the Green-ISAS project, a range of broadly applicable solutions have been developed.
The basic modules have been yoked together to achieve highly efficient design, construction, testing and operation of new systems. To facilitate future development of useful application-specific technological solutions, Green-ISAS worked on design and test methods and the implementation of modular hardware and software components.
In new combinations, such systems with the characteristics of independent intelligence, networking capacity and energy autonomy have been set up and validated in two demonstrators.
Results obtained in Green-ISAS
- Energy-efficient processing of time-coded sensor signals
- Characterisation schemes for ULP (ultra-low-power) circuits
- Ultra-low-power circuits for passive long-range UHF-RFID frontends
- Design methodology for application-specific electromagnetic micro-energy harvesters
- Adaptive energy management components for self-powered sensor-actuator systems
- Concepts for communications conforming to Industry 4.0 in systems with very limited resources
An overview of all results and two specialist articles can be found in the 2018 Annual Report.

“From my point of view, the numerous outcomes, many of them already validated by demonstrators, speak for themselves. These wireless solutions with their energy self-sufficiency are blazing the trail for quick, cheap and easy retrofitting. I envisage their use not only in manufacturing processes but in other areas such as transport and logistics.”

Core topic
Analysis of distributed IoT systems
For complex distributed IoT systems, we model components for system-wide analysis of energy consumption. We put intelligence into the network, enable tasks to be solved flexibly and autonomously, and make individual functions portable and robust.
Lead application
IoT systems for cooperative environmental monitoring
We are researching energy-efficient solutions for IoT systems to open up new applications for cooperative environmental monitoring, such as in agriculture.
Research field
Smart distributed measurement and test systems
Integrated sensor ICs are the heart of sensor and measurement systems like wireless sensors, stationary or handheld devices. We are researching solutions for ever more powerful sensors with more intrinsic intelligence and task allocation in the network.
Core topic
ULP sensor systems
We research and develop ultra-low-power (ULP) sensor systems that require very little power and have integrated energy management components. Our goal is to use them to open up new applications for the Internet of Things.
