AD plasma technology is an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative surface treatment technology. With this technology, the workpiece to be cleaned is exposed to the AD plasma made of air or oxygen in a short time, and the organic pollutants on the surface of the workpiece are cleaned by cold combustion under the action of the plasma. More Info
In daily life, the surface properties of products are very important. Through atmospheric pressure (AD) plasma, people can effectively clean and activate polymer and metal surfaces economically and environmentally, and use water-based coatings and eco-friendly adhesives on any material. More Info
Since Germany proposed Industry 4.0 in 2013, this concept has become the consensus of the worlds manufacturing industry to upgrade and transform. As the initiator of the Industry 4.0 concept and the promoter of the core technology, how did the Fraunhofer Association for the Promotion of Applied Research step by step verify each technology from concept to specific technology, and then turn it into reality?

Eco-friendly flying is on the horizon. All over the world, researchers are developing new technologies to achieve this goal. One focus of developments is the idea of using hydrogen-powered engines for aircraft in the future. The aircraft companies, though, face the challenge of storing this energy source. Hydrogen turns liquid when cooled to minus 253 degrees Celsius, and only then can it be used as a so-called cryogenic fuel. Both tanks and pipe systems in the aircraft have to be absolutely tight at such low temperatures. An innovative new welding process has been developed to help: magnetic pulse welding. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have now demonstrated that this joining technology can produce extremely resilient, metallic mixed joints for cryogenic applications. They successfully achieved these outstanding joint properties in cooperation with the Technical University of Munich. ronaldbonss.com More Information

In Germany, around twelve million tons of food end up in the trash every year. Over 30 percent of that is already destroyed in the production process. In the Resource-efficient Intelligent Foodchain (REIF) project, the Fraunhofer Insti-tute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV is working with partners to combat this food waste. In this undertaking, artificial intelligence can be a valuable asset. Cheese, bread, meat, and other food products can be efficiently produced using data-based algorithms. Machine learning methods can optimize sales and production planning as well as process and plant control systems. AdobeStock More Information
Data is the currency of the future. But how can companies access the immense quantities of data generated by their machinery and use it to modernize production? Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA have developed a software called StationConnector that reads out the data and makes it available to any application. These Fraunhofer IPA computer scientists have started an independent company to launch the software on the market: a spin-off called Data Coffee. Fraunhofer IPA More Information
At busy transport hubs where cars mix with cyclists, buses, and streetcars, it can be impossible for drivers to keep track of everything around them. A radar sensor system could solve this problem by issuing an early warning for drivers and self-driving vehicles when a pedestrian runs toward the road or the car. The system, developed by Fraunhofer researchers, will even be able to interpret and understand entire situations on a road with the aid of artificial intelligence. Fraunhofer IIS More Information
Researchers at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft have developed a technology for the energy-efficient and economic separation of hydrogen from natural gas. This membrane technology makes it possible for the two substances to be routed through the national natural gas grid together and then isolated from one another at their final destination. A major step forward in the transportation and distribution of hydrogen as an energy source. Fraunhofer More Information
In todays world, more and more devices are being wirelessly connected to one another with the aid of intelligent sensors. As this Internet of Things keeps growing, however, it is consuming more and more power. To address this issue, Fraunhofers ZEPOWEL lighthouse project has prompted the development of hardware that not only makes the sensors energy-efficient, but even enables them to save energy. As a starting point, the project is focusing on two sensor nodes one to control machines and one to measure the air quality in the city. Fraunhofer IZM/Volker Mai More Information
Fraunhofer IPMS The future is a world where everything is connected, and it is also a world with highly intelligent perception. Sensors are playing an increasingly important role in peoples lives, and they have also helped people create more and more new values. In short, the Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MOEMS: Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems) integrates optics, microelectronics, and mechanical components into a micro system to realize sensor control functions. It is called a micro system because it is composed of components with a size between 1 and 100 microns (0.001 to 0.1 mm). With the continuous improvement of the performance requirements of electronic products, Moores Law has become a bottleneck. In the post-Moore era of More than Moore, the microsystems that were originally widely used, but with the help of their small size, light weight and low energy consumption, as well as the integration with the traditional silicon integrated circuit CMOS manufacturing process, continue to expand their application fields And reflects the increasing commercial value.
