About
CSEM is a public-private, non-profit Swiss technology innovation center. We develop disruptive technologies with a high societal impact in the fields of precision manufacturing, digitalization, ultra-low-power electronics, optical elements, AI, and sustainable energy. We then transfer these innovations to industry partners in a variety of sectors, including renewable energy, healthcare, watchmaking, and aerospace, or encourage start-up creations.
As a public-private, non-profit organization, our mission is to support innovation in Swiss companies and strengthen the economy through ongoing collaboration with leading universities, research institutes, and industrial partners.
Data technologies, data ecosystems and cross-linking
Data ecosystems for the realisation of circular value creation exploiting the full potential of digitalisation – e.g., harnessing existing, purpose-built platform solutions.(AI based) recognition systems (e.g. image recognition) to evaluate materials, components and products and determine the best use paths(AI based) process and system control technologiesSimulation models and predictive analytics to assess the scalability of circular processes across industriesAlgorithm that shows the (positive) impact of a Circular Economy process or Circular Economy product
Other enabling technologies
Manufacturing and machine learning, e.g., to increase the flexibility of industrial processes, modular approaches, reduce use of materials, quality assurance and certification of products)AI-driven diagnostic systems, e.g., for assessing the viability of reused, remanufactured, and recycled componentsIndustry 4.0 technologies (IoT, big data analytics) for monitoring and managing circular value chains(Advanced/smart) Sensors, e.g., enabling materials, components and product flows measurementRobotic / handling - and assistance systemsLife cycle assessment / Product life cycle management – e.g., Digital Twin / Digital Product Passport
