The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, headquartered in Erlangen, Germany, conducts world-class
research on microelectronic and IT system solutions and services. Today, it is the largest institute of the
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Research at Fraunhofer IIS revolves around two guiding topics:
In the area of “Audio and Media Technologies” and“cognitive sensor technologies”
The institute researches technologies for sensor technology, data transmission technology, data analysis methods and the exploitation of data as part of data-
driven services and their accompanying business models. This adds a cognitive component to the function of the conventional “smart” sensor. The results of this research have been applied in the areas of connected mobility, communication and application solutions for the Internet of Things, digitalization of human sensing,
product and material monitoring, and business analytics in supply chains.
