EOTLAB

Connected systems, data, and organisational change

Research at the University of Koblenz on connected systems, data-intensive infrastructures, and the organisational realities of digital transformation.

We combine information systems research, prototyping, and applied teaching to study how IoT technologies reshape work, services, and public life.

University of Koblenz

01

Connected Infrastructures

How sensor networks, platforms, and data pipelines become operational in real organisations.

02

Organisational Change

How IoT adoption affects practices, responsibilities, governance, and value creation.

03

Field-Driven Prototypes

How use cases and prototypes help test ideas in teaching, research, and external collaboration.

Research Profile

Studying enterprise technologies beyond the device itself

The lab focuses on how connected technologies are introduced, used, governed, and transformed in practice. That means technical artefacts matter, but so do organisations, skills, routines, infrastructures, and public consequences.

01

Organisations and Value

We examine why organisations adopt connected systems, what they expect from them, and how value is negotiated in practice.

02

Domains and Use Cases

We study concrete domains such as logistics, public infrastructures, local enterprises, and data-driven services.

03

Technologies and Standards

We track platforms, architectures, standards, and devices to understand how technical choices shape operational possibilities.

04

Demonstrators and Prototypes

We build and evaluate prototypes that make scenarios tangible and support reflection, experimentation, and communication.

Teaching and research belong together. Students work with emerging IoT systems, data platforms, and concrete organisational questions while contributing to prototypes, studies, and ethically informed digital services.

We are the "Enterprise of Things Lab" known by the acronym of EoT Lab. Our research centre has a focus on the design and use of emerging technologies, specifically the Internet of Things.
