Automotive and transportation
Sustainable solutions for land, sea, and air
Reducing global emissions requires better fuel efficiency of vehicles as well as improvements to transportation-related infrastructures. We are supporting European organizations with low-weight materials and structures as well as smaller and smarter sensors.
CSEM is supporting the development and implementation of a range of solutions that make it simpler for companies in the automotive and transportation sectors to reduce the emissions of their vehicles, enhance the efficiency of their infrastructure, and even increase safety.
Innovative wireless solutions
Working with our European partners, our wireless solutions have a range of potential uses. The Lynceus project is providing compact, low-power wireless devices that enable faster and better organized emergency procedures at sea.
On the roads, our wireless sensor networks (WSN) are being applied to the localization of cars in parking lots and helping guarantee the integrity of bridges by calculating the stress and strain exerted on suspension cables in real time.
Updating railway infrastructure
Our WSNs also measure and survey railway infrastructure and trains to detect potential failures faster and with more accuracy. As part of the RailCheck project, we are working with the Swiss Federal Railway to combine machine learning with image and data processing to automate the process of rail defect detection.

RUAG Aerospace has come to fully appreciate CSEM's experience and high level of competence in the design and simulation of high-precision space mechanisms integrating flexible structures.
Albert Enste
CEO
We are experts in spring technology but definitely not in energy harvesting, miniaturization, and digitalization. That's why we need help from CSEM to develop this new kind of intelligent spring that will make machine failures and costly production interruptions a thing of the past.
Edouard Barret
Project and Sales Manager Stadler Rail
CSEM’s state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms and creative and solution oriented approach enables us to further digitalize our maintenance activities and take them to the next level. Which is important to the long-term fulfilment of our promise to clients: "We make sure it rolls!"
Damien Macq
Business Unit Manager—Wireless
We leveraged the excellent collaboration with CSEM, including enabling the transfer of know-how that will allow us to use this project as a technology platform for future circuit developments.
Bertrand Pichon
Research & Technology Manager
This excellent collaboration with CSEM has led to an enabling sensing technology platform with potential in a viation and beyond.
