Analysing the real-time capability of 5G for industrial sensor data acquisition
You will analyse the real-time capability of 5G for data transmission between an industrial PC and a central unit for data acquisition. You will analyse latencies, the maximum size of data packets, network utilisation and antenna positioning. You will also analyse how a varying machine environment affects the transmission quality. The aim is to gain insights for the use of 5G in industrial sensor networks.
You will support us with:
- Measuring and analysing latency times in the 5G network
- Investigating the maximum transmittable data packet size
- Analysing the influence of machine shielding and antenna placement
- Comparison of 5G with other wireless transmission methods
Ideally you have:
- Interest in sensor and network technology
- Experience in working with Matlab or Python

Investigation of evaluation electronics for strain gauges
Industry 4.0 and advancing automation require more and more real-time information about machining processes. We are developing machine-integrated sensors based on strain gauges to measure machining forces. The decisive factor for the quality of the data is the evaluation electronics used. Three evaluation systems are to be experimentally characterised and compared as part of the thesis. You will select the systems in consultation with us, set them up and analyse them. Finally, you will characterise the systems and compare them with each other.
You will support us with:
- Selecting the evaluation electronics
- Setting up a test bench
- Characterisation of the evaluation electronics
- Evaluation of the analysed systems
Ideally you have:
- Interest in machine technologies and components
- Interest in practical work
- Basic programming experience

Development of intelligent machine components
Would you like to put your know-how into practice and research innovative technologies? Become part of our team and work on these exciting projects, for example: Handle-free guidance, force machine or preload adaptation for ball screw drives. In these projects, you will work with us to develop intelligent machine components - from design and simulation to testing on the test benches and machine tools in our institute's test field. You will gain practical insights into all areas of the engineering profession and have the opportunity to drive forward tomorrow's technologies today.
You will support us with:
- designing and laying out machine components
- sensorisation and experimental characterisation of machine components
- FEM simulation of various components
