From great ideas to global recognition - How joining an EU consortium spotlighted research
In 2013, Dersch and his team joined the EU project "ASHLEY", aiming to create a more competitive avionics system for the European aerospace industry. “As soon as you have a history in major EU projects, other powerful partners become interested,” explains Dersch. “Through ASHLEY, we proved that our PLC technology fulfils the most critical communication requirements in the most critical environment – the passenger aircraft. This provided us with the best reference to explore further applications in trains, the automotive industry, etc.”
