STC research centre is founded | 2005 |
How can the earth’s resources be saved by more things being connected to the Internet? That is one of many issues Professor Mattias O’Nils and his colleagues at the research centre STC – Sensible Things that Communicate – look into.
– Our research is about connecting the physical world to the virtual one. Among other things, we are looking at how items can sense their context and communicate information about it, Mattias tells us.
STC develop sensor based systems and services in electronics and computer technology, focusing on industrial IT and digital services. Their research is about technology that makes it possible to streamline the work in the industry – and at the same time use less raw materials and resources.
The research environment at STC is cutting edge, with several well-equipped labs for optics, X-rays and 3D, among other things, as well as a high-class clean room. They collaborate with the research centre FSCN and are a part of Mid Sweden University’s Knowledge Foundation environment.
