Project description

In the field of sensor-based monitoring of farm animals, the transfer project KMUni focuses on the development of a completely new organizational model. The basis of this innovative model is an institutionalized network of experts in the fields of science and enterprises (small and medium scale). This transfer group will serve as a link between research at the universities and practical application in the companies. The approach within the project is to use own results from basic research for the development of sensor based monitoring systems. Together with the industry, the project's aim is to develop utility models. These will be tested in terms of their suitability.
