Researching with success!
For more than ten years, fortiss has successfully implemented the principle of research. apply. design. together with its partners from business, research and administration. In doing so, the state research institute places a special focus on cooperation with small and medium-sized enterprises in Bavaria, thus writing Bavarian success stories.
To date, this success is evident in more than 300 cross-industry projects. The process of research cooperation - from the development of the idea to the implementation of the results in daily use - could be realized profitably for all participants. Every single fortiss success story is a part of this and proves how research together with business sets technology trends and advances the development of innovative ideas and solutions.
Finding unexplored destinations, daytrips without traffic jams and museum visits without waiting in line, the BayernCloud Tourismus platform is designed to facilitate all of these benefits. As a central data node, the platform serves as an information hub that allows tourism providers and tourism locations to call up relevant information – at any time and from anywhere – and utilize it or make it available in their own service offerings.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a complication of the retina brought about by diabetes, is one of the most frequent reasons for vision loss in European adults between 25 and 60 years of age. To help ophthalmologists consistently and precisely assess and diagnose DR, fortiss developed the Neural Network Dependability Kit (NNDK) software.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered the key technology of the future across all industries. Norms and standards are the best prerequisite for this development, because they offer transparency, explainability and quality and in this way ensure the immense innovative power of AI technology.
We rely on our own outstanding employees and the right external partners. And here we highly value the expertise of fortiss in order to reflect on our actions, analyze opportunities for improvement, and align ourselves with the current state of science and technology.
India’s economy has constantly grown over the past years, with the result that the demand for energy has also increased dramatically in the southern Asia country. With an aging infrastructure and daily power outages, the growing demand for electricity poses major challenges for the energy market in India.
Climate change and the energy transformation require innovative solutions to ensure a sustainable supply of electricity and heat. Increasing electrification, expansion of decentralized energy generation and growing power grid fluctuations are testing the limits of the existing supply system, a situation that can only be overcome with novel solutions.
Agricultural digitalization connects various processes and participants together through a wide range of information. Apart from farmers, the players include IT service providers, agricultural technology manufacturers, consultants and public administration. The benefits of using digital technology can be clearly seen in potential increases in sustainability and productivity, as well as reduced/streamlined labor.
The experts at fortiss have shown us how we can digitalize our production process. This allows us to digitally track the path of our products and guarantee their authenticity, thus deterring potential counterfeiters. We were persuaded by the methods-based approach from fortiss because it led to concrete results.
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a significant step towards the digitalization of our society and economy. For this reason the European Commission is working on the next generation of the Internet of Things (NGIoT) together with industry, public organizations and research institutes in order to unleash the potential of the IoT technologies specifically for EU member states.
Connectivity is currently the most crucial factor for the digital transformation. Under these conditions, there is an increasing focus on the next phase of industrial connectivity, which will involve even more mobility, automatic configurability and simple integration of a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
