Fields of new and advanced technologies according to their development as well as their practical use were reached in the Avtomatika research program. A contribution to a higher general knowledge in certain fields was achieved in the program that made its use possible in economy and in developing new products and advanced technologies. Advanced technologies in the field of fiber optics, optical and acoustic measuring systems, system control elements, LON communication, intelligent buildings and embedded control systems were systematically developed. The knowledge level of the research workers has also increased what made further research, which are significant for economic development of Slovenia, possible. At the same time the research of sensors used in biomedicine was carried out, what could cause positive effects on service quality in healthcare as well as on the quality of life. Since communications in the field of the remote system control are rapidly developing, fast realization of research results in industry represents an advantage on the market. The results have a positive effect on national energy use, reduction of environmental pollution and rational process maintenance. They are very important for many industrial development processes of products, which have to meat demands of the new technologies and also have a great meaning in designing and automation of energy processes, process industry, designing of home and office buildings, as well as embedded systems in development of new products and equipment.
