SHIQ Project Meeting at Thermokon

The SHIQ project addresses the growing complexity of connected building technologies. Its core objective is the development of secure, robust and interoperable IoT infrastructures that provide a reliable foundation for sensors, actuators and digital services in residential buildings and neighbourhoods. The consortium brings together partners from research, industry and the housing sector who work on comprehensive security mechanisms across the entire lifecycle of connected systems – from development and manufacturing through to operation.

Following an overview of the ongoing work packages, the partners engaged in technical discussions on architectural and security aspects. A tour of Thermokon’s production facilities provided insights into development and manufacturing processes, highlighting the importance of secure sensor technology for modern building automation.

Within the SHIQ project, Thermokon contributes extensive expertise in building automation – particularly in energy-efficient sensor technology, system integration and the secure inclusion of devices within IoT architectures. Applications from the residential and neighbourhood sectors serve as the practical framework for validating the project’s technical approaches.

The meeting in Bischoffen marks another step forward in the project. The close cooperation within the consortium strengthens the shared aim of delivering secure, transparent and scalable IoT systems for buildings and neighbourhoods, contributing to the future of digitalised building environments.

SHIQ is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of its IT security research programme.
