But do we know whether we can trust this data? Find out from our experts which methods are used and how modern sensor systems are calibrated today so that they deliver reliable values even under unfavorable environmental conditions. \n \nThis event offers lively and practice-oriented insights into the world of sensor technology\, including concrete examples. \n \nThe program at a glance\nExpert input: Sensor solutions for harsh environmental conditions\, Dr. Samuel Huber – OST \nSensors are not only exposed to their primary measurand but also to harsh environmental conditions and interferences\, including temperature changes\, mechanical stresses\, stray fields\, humidity or external forces. Unfortunately\, sensors are not independent of these interferences. Samuel Huber uses examples to show how these undesirable parasitic effects can be eliminated or compensated for. \nPractical input: Bayesian sensor calibration\, Moritz Berger – Sensirion \nThe calibration of sensor systems can be a complex and costly task. On the one hand\, non-linearities\, noise and cross-sensitivities have to be taken into account and\, on the other hand\, only a few measuring points are available in volume production for reasons of time and cost. Moritz Berger shows how an optimal calibration can be achieved with the use of statistical methods despite a minimum number of measurements. \n \n \n Date / Time \nThursday\, March 20\, 2025 \n16.30 – 18.00 \n \n \n Location \nOST Campus Buchs \nWerdenbergstrasse 4 \n9471 Buchs (SG) \n \n \n Program \nProgram \n16:30-16:40 Welcome – Andreas Ettemeyer\, Sensor Innovation Hub \n16:40-17:00 Expert input – Samuel Huber\, OST – University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland \n17:00-17:30 Practical input – Moritz Berger\, Sensirion \n17:30-17:55 Practice Exercise-Moderated by Andreas Ettemeyer and Samuel Huber \n17:55-18:00 Conclusion – Andreas Ettemeyer \nfrom 18:00 Networking and aperitif \nSpeakers\n \n \nSamuel Huber ist seit 2020 als Dozent und Professor für Mikrosystemtechnik an der Ostschweizer Fachhochschule tätig.
