Development and calibration of complete system chains

The advantage of a system chain is that the corresponding strengths and weaknesses of the individual process steps are considered into account. For example, the system specifications of the used sensors are taken into account in the interpretation process and thus a faulty interpretation can be avoided (e.g. relative accuracy of single-point measurement on laser-based sensors, temperature drift on distance sensors, etc.). The summary of the research and development goals in this area appears as follows:

  • Research and development of closed system chains, starting with the selection of sensors, via the linking of different complementary system components, to data fusion.
  • Research and development of integrated calibration approaches for closed system chains.
  • Research and development of evaluation approaches for closed system chains.

The challenge of this new approach lies in the fluent boundaries between sensor, objective and data analysis. Using a rapid, comprehensive monitoring of the object geometry, critical areas can be pre-selected. Costly measurements can be concentrated on necessary object sections. This simplifies the recording process, speeds up the entire monitoring process and reduces the costs. The tight coupling of the sensors to each other and the close connection with data analysis generates a completely new approach and significant advantages over conventional solutions with respect to the configurability, scalability and robustness of the complete solution.
