Developing the future together
As a research institute for process engineering and packaging, the focus is on the business areas of food, packaging, product impact, processing machinery, recycling and the environment. Key topics for the future are bioeconomy, circular economy and digitalization. We develop innovative solutions for high-quality food, safe packaging, efficient processing and resource-conserving recycling.
Our research results are also in demand in sectors outside the food and packaging industry. With our technologies and expertise, we find tailor-made solutions for a wide range of challenges and bring them to market maturity. In the field of microelectronics, we offer services in the areas of cleaning (sensor technology for detection, process optimization, cleaning robotics), digitalization (in-house chatbot, optical quality monitoring, VR training) and packaging.
As an institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we are one of the largest research institutions for applied research in Europe. With around 300 employees at our Freising and Dresden sites, we are a sought-after partner for industry, science and government..
CoControl-LumiHD is an innovative, ultra-compact and at the same time extremely powerful optical contamination sensor. Its flexible detection options cover a wide range of filmic and particulate contamination.
The sensor is the first hybrid system that evaluates information for contamination detection under both UV and white light excitation. This combination of fluorescence properties in addition to the characteristic optical features makes it possible to reliably detect a wide range of different types, states and sizes of contamination. In this way, film thicknesses and particle sizes of less than 10 nm can be reliably detected with favorable fluorescence properties.
