RASAFF
Reactive application of specialised algorithms for overhead distribution networks
To prevent large-scale power outages caused by earth faults in distribution networks and to make these networks safer, the Smart Diagnostics and Online Monitoring working group is developing, as part of the RASAFF project, a method for the minimally invasive detection of potential earth fault currents in 110 kV networks.
Funding: SAB SMWA/ERDF
Project duration: 12/2025 – 05/2027
Wise-Net
Development of a smart, wireless sensor network for monitoring natural environmental systems
The overall aim of the project is to develop a smart, wireless sensor network for monitoring the soil parameters of soil density and water content, based on a new measurement method using electromagnetic waves in the soil.
Funding: ZIM BMWE/AiF
Project duration: October 2025 – March 2028
GetMo
Rapid-calibration gearbox monitoring
Title: Development of a rapid-calibration gearbox monitoring system for the precise localisation of faults for the predictive maintenance of specialised gearboxes using a cascaded, integrated sensor array
Sub-project: Development of wireless, self-contained internal sensor technology and wireless communication between the individual sensor elements within the gearbox, with a connection to the exterior of the gearbox
The aim of the project is to develop a self-calibrating gearbox monitoring system for the precise localisation of damage for the predictive maintenance of specialised gearboxes using a cascaded, integrated sensor array.
Funding: BMWE/AiF
Project/cooperation partner: Getriebebau Nossen GmbH & Co. KG
Project duration: 01/2026 – 08/2028
SIZA
Sensor-integrated gear
The aim of the research project is the systematic integration of sensor technology and electronics, including algorithms for in-situ data acquisition, into the gear element. The data is pre-processed, transmitted to a central system and thus made available for determining the condition of the gear.
Funding: DFG
Project partners: TU Munich
Project duration: 03/2025 – 02/2028
SchneckCheck
Development of an innovative and novel system of sensors for the rapid and precise detection of wear mechanisms in the bearings of a decanter screw
Development of plant sensor technology, including the associated power supply and data transmission, for the detection of anomalies in the bearing assembly of a decanter screw, as well as the development of condition-based machine diagnostics
Funding: BMWK/AiF
Project/cooperation partner: GHS Separationstechnik GmbH
Project duration: 08/2024 – 07/2026
GEOROK
Geometry-driven optimisation of the power supply to rotating sensor nodes
The GEOROK project focuses on the integration of an inductive wireless power transfer system into a sensor network for the predictive maintenance of large gearboxes.
Funding: SMWA/SAB
Project duration: November 2023 – April 2025
INSPIRE
Establishing new frameworks for practice-oriented lectures that combine industrial needs and research findings through knowledge transfer and the exchange of experience
As part of this project, two fact-finding missions took place, enabling a delegation from the HTWK to travel to Kitwe, Zambia, and, some time later, to welcome a delegation from the CBU Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Mining to Leipzig.
Funding: DAAD/BMZ
Project duration: 07/2023 – 12/2023
SmartHeads
Symbiosis approaches for the automotive and digitalisation sectors in Tunisia, involving collaboration between higher education and industry to ensure graduates are well-prepared for the labour market
The aim of this collaborative project is to examine, initiate and implement measures to establish and strengthen industry’s influence on the higher education system in Tunisia through collaboration and knowledge transfer.
Funding: BMZ/DAAD
Project duration: 09/2020 – 12/2023
iFacts
Intelligent, functional and decentralised plant monitoring for efficient process automation
‘Intelligent Facts’ (iFacts) refer to integrated process information that intelligently supplements and expands sensor data. They have low power consumption and are particularly relevant at the lower levels of the process control hierarchy; they can be used, amongst other things, for the monitoring and diagnosis of plant processes.
Funding: BMBF (Funding Code: 13FH025PX2)
Project duration: 2018–2020
MIBRAG
Multiple integrated RF-based bearing vibration sensors for automated gearbox diagnostics
Mitteldeutsche Braunkohlengesellschaft mbH (MIBRAG) operates several opencast mines in the south of Leipzig using a variety of bucket-wheel excavators. These steel colossi are powered by high-performance engines, which transmit their power via multi-stage gearboxes. MIBRAG modules are being developed in collaboration with the company for the diagnostic monitoring and optimal maintenance of the roller bearings in the planetary stage.
Project partner: MIBRAG
Project duration: since 2016
AiS
Self-sufficient smart sensor networks in manufacturing
Through this project, the AiS research group aims to make energy-autonomous sensor technology available for a wide range of applications in factories and industrial plants. Information on processes and workflows, the condition of machinery, restocking, transport routes and similar aspects enables more efficient planning and a faster response to unforeseen situations in production. This helps to save important resources. The savings in materials and energy also enhance competitiveness and facilitate sustainable production.
Funding: European Social Fund (ESF)
Project duration: 2013–2014
