Flat force sensors offer new possibilities for data acquisition
Altosens GmbH, a Fraunhofer LBF spin-off from Osnabrück founded in April 2022, offers novel cloud-based sensors that measure forces where this was previously not easily possible. This allows service operations to be reduced and therefore systems that are difficult to access to be operated more economically, the company said in a statement. Such a monitoring system can, for example, increase the profitability of wind turbines, especially for offshore turbines, where on-site maintenance is costly due to difficult accessibility....
