Making sensor data visually visible – a project that six students from the Bachelor's program in Web Business & Technology at the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol worked on intensively together with the company 3CON during the summer semester of 2025.

As part of their practical project, six students from the Web Business & Technology (further development in Coding & Digital Design) degree program developed a new web application for a dynamic dashboard for the Company 3CON Anlagenbau from Ebbs. We provide an insight into the day-to-day work on the project – the distribution of roles, the project process, the goal and benefits of the project, and the role played by the partner company.

Project goal and relevance

Modern industrial plants are increasingly equipped with sensors that continuously generate data. Effective visualization of this sensor data is of great importance for making informed decisions within the company. The project creates the technical basis for the subsequent productive usage of the configurable dashboard system, but also serves as initial research and development for possible changes to that system.

Role distribution

The practical project consisted of a total of six students from the bachelor's degree program in Web Business & Technology (further development in Coding & Digital Design). Prof. (FH) Karsten Böhm, professor of business informatics at the University of Applied Sciences Kufstein Tirol, provided technical support. Represented by Martin Höck and Hannes Sachsenmaier, the operational contact person at the company, 3CON supported the students in their project.

Project process

In close cooperation with the partner company 3CON, the students developed a web application for a dynamic dashboard in spring 2025 that displays a wide variety of values, such as watts and temperature, in suitable forms. The development was carried out using Git-based version control, which ensured structured teamwork and traceable development steps. After four months of intensive work and tinkering, the final presentation of the project took place at the 3CON company premises at the beginning of July 2025.

3CON

Our partner company 3CON offers years of expertise in the manufacture of highly automated production systems, making it one of the leading solution providers in the region. 3CON's field of application is wide-ranging, extending from automotive interiors and plastic exteriors to the pharmaceutical and medical industries. The practical project thus fits perfectly into the company's innovative standard.

Degree program

The Web Business & Technology degree program has been revised and has been running under the new name Coding & Digital Design since October 2024. In addition to creative aspects such as user interface design, design tools, and usability, this degree program also teaches technical skills (e.g., web development, server-side development, mobile software development).

Our students gain a comprehensive understanding of digital applications and can implement them independently – from conception and design to completion.
