UWB4Industry: Self-sufficient UWB-based industrial sensor networks

November 28, 2019
Posted by Andreas Kercek

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has recently attracted significant attention since smart phone manufacturers like Apple announced its integration into their next generation’s smart phones. Currently, they focus on tracking applications since UWB is known as one of the most precise localization methods far superior in terms of accuracy and speed compared to competing technologies (Bluetooth, GPS, etc). Moreover, it is very energy efficient, secure, and robust. But UWB can also be…

By Christian Bettstetter, Scientific Director Did you observe that lately more and more tech products and business processes have features of self-organization? Almost every major car maker has been testing self-driving vehicles and is now introducing them to the market. The industry is crazy about “industry 4.0”—which promises self-organizing production with humans, machines, and products collaborating to make decentralized decisions. These are just two examples for the ongoing trend toward…

UWB sensor networks in airplanes

April 27, 2016
Posted by Christian Bettstetter

Modern airplanes are equipped with hundreds of embedded sensors and actuators necessary for structural health monitoring, aircraft control, and passenger and crew assistance. These devices are typically interconnected by wires. Using wireless connections instead of wires improves flexibility of installations and reduces the airplane’s weight. Researchers from Airbus Group Innovations have been working on this topic for several years. An ongoing joint project with the University of Klagenfurt and Lakeside…
