       Technology Transfer

One of the OGMS's most important goals is to enable technology transfer to Austrian companies in the field of microsystem technology. In order to reach this goal technology projects with selective companies are designed and implement according to industry standards.

The OGMS proceeds in several steps when implementing technology projects:

Step 1: Technology evaluation and Technology Monitoring
In a first meeting the development task of the new product, process or service is defined.

Step 2: Expert search, evaluation and allocation based on the technology required by the industrial partner
The project will be designed and implemented by key employees of the industrial partner and the OGMS experts.

Step 3: Planning, management and organisational support during implementation phase of the project
A workshop, a feasability study and the concrete R&D project and/or the establishment of a company internal innovation or product development team is implemented together with OGMS experts and their partners.

The OGMS offers not only technological and scientific support but is able to also provide administrative and organisational services on request  If necessary the OGMS can also act as the project executing organisation for individual projects.

Micro system technology projects can be of following character:

• Miniaturization of existing products, thereby strengthening competitive ability and enlarging the sales market.

• Employment of MST products (e.g. microsensors and micromotors) in "macro products." One example for such a product is the airbag system. The core of the airbag is a microsensor, and most of its other components are conventional products.

• Increasing the efficiency of quality and process control through optimum placement of micro sensors for the measurement of a wide range of physical values in production plants.
