Electronic systems and diagnostics

Research team
We deal with complex design, implementation and testing of electronic systems and their components.

In our laboratories, we are equipped for the complex development of electronics from circuit system architecture to component selection, printed circuit board and mechanical design to embedded firmware and software design. We prepare the developed prototypes for testing and commercialization.

We mainly develop sensors and entire sensor systems for building structure and indoor environment monitoring. We are focused on design of sensor systems for monitoring structures made of renewable natural materials. Our developed products support open standardized communication protocols. In the field of linear structures diagnostics we use unique fiber optic sensors, which can be integrated into various building elements. Our software equipment allow design of electronics and printed circuit boards as well as mechanical components of electronic systems.

Laboratory of electronic systems and diagnostics
Development, implementation and testing of electronic and optical fiber components and systems. The laboratory deals with the development and testing of products, from the electronics development phase through the mechanical design, the development of the necessary firmware and software to the testing itself. The subject of interest is primarily the development of sensors and entire sensor systems for building monitoring and diagnostics of building structures and materials. Sensors based on fiber optics are also used in the field of construction diagnostics, which can be integrated into various building elements.
