Research projects

TESTING IS OUR PASSION

Historically, iSyst Intelligente Systeme GmbH has been closely linked to the university and research landscape. Funding projects have been and are being carried out in collaboration with research and industry partners. As part of these projects, new methods and solutions for testing embedded systems are developed and tested in practice. In order to be able to offer our customers the most modern test solutions at all times, we work together with our research partners to quickly implement modern scientific findings in practical work.

2019 – 2023

SHORT – Security-Centered HIL-Platform Offering Riskaware Testing

Gefördert durch BMBF „KMU-innovativ“

Thema dieses Kooperationsprojekts war das Erarbeiten und Evaluieren von Konzepten für die Absicherung und den Test im Bereich Sicherheit im Automobil. Ziel war eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung der Themen Kommunikationssicherheit und Betriebssicherheit in einer neuartigen HIL-Lösung umzusetzen.

2013 - 2017

WiCoDiCa RT – Wireless Controlling, Diagnostics and Calibration in Real Time
Funded by Free State of Bavaria, IuK Bavaria


The cooperation project aims to develop a wireless and real-time capable connection of control units to hardware in the loop test systems as a radio bridge or HIL return channel to increase flexibility when setting up test systems. The radio bridge is used for test control, calibration, diagnosis and analysis of control unit data, e.g. in mobile applications. The transfer of the results to controls and regulations in automation technology is planned.

2011 - 2013

ProTecT Embedded Systems – Progressive Techniques for Testing Embedded Systems
Funded by BMWi, ZIM


The cooperation project ProTecT Embedded Systems dealt with the technological development of an innovative, intelligent network of modular test methods, which should make it possible to test all three development areas of highly complex embedded systems - hardware platform, embedded software and communication interfaces - both individually and in a network.

2009 - 2011

Improve – Implementing Manufacturing Science Solutions to increase Equipment Productivity and Fab Performance

Funded by EU and BMBF, ENIAC Joint Undertaking

The aim of the large-scale European project was to increase the productivity of European semiconductor manufacturers' plants. The project, with 35 international partners and a total volume of around €38 million, was funded by the BMBF and the EU as part of the ENIAC Call 2008.

iSyst GmbH contributed, among other things, its experience in the field of hardware-in-the-loop testing and virtual measurement technology.

2008 - 2010

ParaObsol – Maintaining functionality and complying with delivery obligations for discontinued components (obsolescence)
Funded by the Free State of Bavaria and EU, ERDF – R&D programme Information and Communication Technology ICT in Bavaria


In the research and development network with 10 partners, tools and processes were developed for a quick and safe replacement of discontinued semiconductor components in long-lasting products such as controls, regulation and measurement and analysis systems. An IP core was created with which new components can be adapted to older circuits in terms of voltage and current potential as well as processing speed.

ParaObsolete

Obsolescence management and rapid prototyping methods, especially for the migration or replication of obsolete microelectronics based on FPGA technologies.299 KB

2008 - 2011

RedunSys – Design and testing of redundant electronics for radiation-exposed areas
Funded by the Free State of Bavaria and EU, ERDF – R&D programme flagship projects in medical technology BayMED


The focus of the project was to improve the diagnosis and testability of massively redundant systems, such as those used in radiation therapy. The aim was to transfer methods, tools and experience in testing software from the automotive sector to medical technology. On the basis of a study on radiation damage to semiconductors and extensive measurements in the radiation bunker, error models and procedures for testing controls in a virtual environment were developed. An IP core was created with which the aging state of the semiconductor circuits exposed to radiation can be directly determined and with which errors can be corrected.

RedunSys

Artificial redundancy (TMR) and online aging analysis to ensure the functionality of electronic circuits and for maintenance on demand (Maintenance On Demand MoDe) in the event of high radiation exposure.200 KB

2007 - 2009

Development of a universal platform for automatic software testing
Funded by the Free State of Bavaria, BayTP


The aim of the project was to offer small and medium-sized companies complete test systems or components for testing control unit software, including advice and services, in accordance with customer-specific requirements in terms of costs, risk, know-how, development cycles and time constraints. Options for using various real-time systems, such as those from the manufacturers dSPACE, Mathworks or National Instruments, in test systems were developed.

2000 - 2005

Bavarian Competence Network for Mechatronics (BKM)
Funded by the Free State of Bavaria, High-Tech Offensive Future Bavaria


The large-scale BKM project dealt with the mechatronic approach, i.e. the greatest possible integration of mechanics, electronics and information technology, a key prerequisite for the development and production of innovative products. The partners in the BKM, six leading Bavarian research institutions (ELSYS/iSyst, DLR, Fraunhofer Institutes IISB and IZM, FAU Erlangen, TU Munich), solved individual mechatronic problems in industry in the areas of vehicle technology, robotics, medical technology, planning and development of production systems as well as the manufacture and assembly of mechatronic products. The project led to the founding of the Cluster Mechatronics & Automation eV and the spin-off of iSyst GmbH.
