Research Unit “Automation Systems” – Faculty of Informatics, TU Wien

The Automation Systems Research Unit is part of the Institute of Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien. Our research focuses on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, serving as the foundation for various digitalization projects in industry.
In addition to core aspects of classical automation and industrial communication technologies, our work emphasizes the use of semantic technologies to address interoperability challenges and enable the creation of autonomous and adaptive systems. We explore end-to-end solutions for seamless information exchange, ranging from edge devices to cloud-based data ecosystems.

Our research finds application in industrial automation for production, smart buildings, and at the intersection with intelligent energy systems, supporting advancements in sustainable and efficient systems.
