Feasibility study for the development of an aesthesiometer.

To increase the safety of aviation, the FHNW University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland is developing a sensor that detects volcanic ash.

With a newly developed, energy-efficient data logger, the FHNW – together with DuraMon AG – enables the continuous monitoring of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. This innovative solution provides precise real-time data, helping to detect damage early and significantly reduce maintenance costs.

A newly developed, high-precision sensor system enables the dynamic measurement of track subsidence during train passage. The project makes a significant contribution to increasing railway safety and to the early detection of changes in the ground structure.

With precise sensor technology for healthy soil and safe wheat: In the EU project WHEATWATCHER, the FHNW is developing a smart monitoring system for sustainable agriculture. The goal is to intelligently combine environmental protection, resource efficiency, and food security.
