KNIGHT
This BMBF- and MWK-funded project on „Artificial Intelligence for Education at HFT Stuttgart – KNIGHT“ focusses firstly on the individualisation of student learning processes and the support of professors in their supervisory tasks and secondly on the development of competences that promote the trustworthy and competent use of AI technology.
iCity 2: UDigit4iCity
Urban Digital Twins for the iCity: The UDigiT4iCity project investigates current issues regarding the use of urban data for urban digital twins. The collection, aggregation and use of Internet of Things (IoT) data in urban buildings and its provision for smart city platforms is being investigated in. The usability of 5G for urban sensor networks is being explored in.

iCity 2: SenSim4iCity
Sensors and simulation for energy efficiency and the environment. In one sub-project, the use of radio-based smart building technologies in industrial facility management is being tested.
View project
iCity: ICT4iCity
Information and communication technology (ICT) is an important component of the smart city. Thematic areas addressed are: Smart Public Buildings and Infrastructures 5G-4-iCity see https://www.hft-stuttgart.com/research/projects/current/ict4icity
iCity:EnSim4iCity
Sensor data is increasingly being collected and made available in the course of smart building, smart city and Industry 4.0 projects. Sub-project 2 is investigating potential as well as suitability of decentralized wireless solutions for industrial buildings.
DigiLab4U
Digitisation in education and research enables new forms of location-independent networking of laboratory infrastructures. This involves mastering technical, organisational and didactic challenges. A research consortium consisting of the University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart (HFT), the Bremen Institute for Production and Logistics (BIBA), the Institute for Knowledge Media (IWM) of the University of Koblenz-Landau, RWTH Aachen and the University of Parma is meeting these challenges in the project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). see www.digilab4u.com
Smart Public Building
Universal platform for interactive technology management in public buildings.
SensAR
Sensory data and augmented reality: The project SensAR - Location- and context-related sensory data communicated via augmented reality focuses on the communication of sensory data by means of augmented reality (AR) and its use in the production process.
Smart Learning Platform
The project "Industry 4.0 - Smart Learning Platform 4.0" is one of the twelve winners of the funding programme "Curriculum 4.0", which was selected from almost 150 applications by the Carl Zeiss Foundation and the Donors' Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany (Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V.) to support necessary course reforms at German universities due to the digital transformation of the working world that is already taking place.
Smart_E_Park
An innovative and intuitive mobile application for charging point booking and activation with a connection to the public transport system will be developed and an innovative business modelhave been investigated. see https://www.hft-stuttgart.com/research/projects/current/smart-e-park-project
Industry 4.0 Laboratory
In the Industry 4.0 laboratory, industrial applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) are researched and tested. The technologies studied include Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS), radio-based sensor technology, radio networks (e.g. LoRaWAN, 5G, ...), IoT architectures, IoT ontologies, as well as IoT applications in production, logistics and building management.
