About SAL

Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

Indspeed

The INDSPEED project is developing a new ultra-precise magnetic encoder system based on TMR sensors and SmCo pole wheels….

Project goals

  • Develop cost-effective low-field TMR sensing by optimizing SmCo layers and leveraging TMR advantages such as robustness to stray fields and low energy consumption.
  • Reduce system tolerances through advanced sensor and pole writing design as well as AI-supported compensation techniques.
  • Enabling high-speed industrial sensors (e.g. for CNC spindles) without back-bias magnets and as a replacement for expensive high-speed elastomer solutions.
  • Provide precise absolute position measurement with true power-on and multiturn capabilities for robotics and collaborative robots.

Smart Bark Beetle Trap

In a joint project by Priot d.o.o. and Silicon Austria Labs, an intelligent, energy-autonomous bark beetle trap has been developed. It uses printed sensors, solar energy, and wireless data transmission to monitor infestation in real-time. This replaces labor-intensive manual monitoring, reduces workload, and simultaneously provides more precise data for more effective and sustainable control strategies.

Ennocure

The company Ennocure GmbH is developing an AI-powered electronic bandage that monitors wounds in real-time, detects complications early, and enables personalized treatment. In collaboration with Silicon Austria Labs, a battery-powered demonstrator has also been developed that specifically transmits signals to further optimize the healing process based on data.

Mag-speak

The objective of the „Mag-Speak“ project was to develop, manufacture, and test a new generation of MEMS woofer micro-speakers based on magnetic drive principles. A proof-of-concept micro-speaker was sought, offering a significantly more compact design compared to current state-of-the-art systems, while simultaneously achieving sound pressure levels and total harmonic distortion values that meet market requirements for woofers.
