Our research programs
Digital Technologies
The digital revolution fueled by emerging technologies like IoT, Industry 4.0, edge computing and quantum technology is driving transformation in every sector of the global economy. Smart interconnected systems are capturing and analyzing data on a colossal scale and empowering businesses to reinvent established processes, drive efficiencies across their value chains and explore new ways of creating value.
At CSEM, we see ourselves as enablers. We help convert digital dreams into real products by providing state-of-the-art IoT, wearables, edge computing, artificial intelligence, and industry 4.0 solutions. Our research is contributing to more personalized health treatment, smarter energy systems, safer production processes and quantum technology that is achieving unprecedented levels of sensitivity and accuracy.
Precision Manufacturing
As systems and devices in our everyday lives become smaller, they need to be able to do more with less power. Our precision engineering research is pioneering innovations in techniques like 3D printing, lasers, sensors, printed electronics, surface coatings and more. We are helping micromanufacturing in Europe develop specialized products and implement flexible, autonomous and augmented production facilities.
Working across the fields of sensor technologies, lasers, robotics, and AM, our research is bringing innovative ideas to life and finding ways to scale them into solutions that push precision engineering to new heights while also minimizing cost and waste. Working with our partners, CSEM creates tailored, specialized solutions that help businesses address challenges, mitigate risks, and take on new opportunities.
Sustainable Energy
Creating a more sustainable future requires new approaches, innovative technology, and collaboration. Our research is at the forefront of technological and digital energy developments across the renewables and energy management sectors. Our solutions are helping businesses adapt and thrive by optimizing their approaches to integrating, storing, monitoring, controlling, and maintaining renewables.
Our innovations are driving the wider adoption of renewable energies such as smart grid automation and storage, enabling better energy savings and increasing the performance of photovoltaic panels. We believe it is possible to create energy systems that service the needs of today without compromising tomorrow. That’s why CSEM’s connected, integrated energy management solutions preserve the natural environment, drive economic development, and advance innovation across the energy sector.
