Sensors and Sensor Networks
This topic is dedicated to low-power electronic components, modules, or subsystems whose purpose is to detect events or changes in their environment (whether it be a smart city, a smart factory or the ocean) and send the information to other electronics, allowing the intelligent management of the same.
ITACA has developed applications for precision agriculture, environmental monitoring (including marine environments), fire detection, heritage conservation and industrial equipment control, among others.
We also design non-invasive microwave-based portable measurement equipment for industrial process monitoring.
