The research group SPIN (Signal Processing for Industry N.0) focuses on research in statistical signal processing and machine learning applied to sensors data and related to the digitalization of the industrial sector, primarily within construction, energy, and ocean.

SPIN is part of the Signal Processing Group at the Department of Electronic Systems, Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
SPIN mostly operates within the strategic area IoT@NTNU and is located at the main campus Gløshaugen in Trondheim, Norway.
