Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS

Your Partner for IoT and Industry 4.0 Applications

Cyberphysical systems are the basic elements for connecting machines and processes to internet-based IoT or industrial applications. Technologies for precise positioning, for self-organizing communication together with efficient energy management solutions are essential for the digital transformation.

mioty®

mioty®, a miniaturized IoT platform developed by Fraunhofer IIS, sets new standards in the field of wireless data transmission when it comes to cost efficiency, transmission range, and transmission security. It relies on an asymmetrical transmission method that uses scores of simple sensor nodes and a complex receiver. The mioty® technology can be licensed for IoT and Industry 4.0 applications.
