On 25 February 2025, we organize an industrial conference on Circular Vehicle Solutions at Circuit Zolder. Together with POM Limburg, Sirris | Innovation forward and Agoria we bring industry experts and innovators together to explore the shift to clean mobility. ➡️ Why attend? At the event, you will gain valuable insights into #sustainability challenges and #circular solutions for the vehicle manufacturing value chains. Furthermore, we will jointly explore concrete #funding opportunities and close the event with a #networking session including exciting demonstrations. ➡️ More event information and registration: https://lnkd.in/dpMHYDzP ➡️ More about the project: www.interreg-cypress.eu This event is possible thanks to all project partners: Flanders Make, AMAC GmbH, CHILL, werecircle, Technifutur, ITA Technologietransfer GmbH, RAI Automotive Industry NL #interregcypress #interregmeuserhine #interreg

Last month at the Flanders Make Symposium, we had the opportunity to showcase our collaborative efforts with Flanders Make and MOBI Electromobility Research Centre: 💡 Digital Siblings for Fast Evaluation of Asset Variants Demonstrated on a Drivetrain Setup The design, development, and validation of new product variants can be time-consuming and costly. Our DT4V framework addresses this challenge by enabling virtual validation through “digital siblings,” which build on the digital twin of an existing asset. This approach allows companies to confidently evaluate design changes—ranging from minor adjustments to major redesigns—without the need for repeated physical prototyping. With this method, redesign iteration cycles can be significantly reduced, while providing insights into the richness of operating data and uncertainty of performance predictions. Our demo featured an 11kW drivetrain, where we evaluated two design changes: 1️⃣ A mild redesign with an updated winding configuration. 2️⃣ A full redesign with 15kW power for higher torque. The predictions of the digital siblings were compared to the real redesigned machines, showing the effectiveness and time savings of the presented workflow. Thanks to Karel, Mehmet and Niels Divens for bringing this demo to life! 🤝 Let’s connect if you’d like to learn more or discuss potential collaborations! #DigitalTwins #DrivetrainTechnology #ProductDevelopment #GhentUniversity #FlandersMake

Minimize downtime and maximize productivity by transforming your approach to maintenance management. In this two-day course, we will provide the tools & knowledge to help you get your smart maintenance programme up and running. This course is of the REBOOT SKILLS project - participation in is free of charge, after registration via our website.

🏭 Is your company struggling with a #data challenge? Our colleagues from FlandersMake@UGent are looking for companies where their 'Master of Science in data-science for business'-students can perform an internship targeting data challenges. The goal of this programme is to support your business strategy and decisions while creating data analytics specialists. The programme is considered an internship, but with a very strong guidance from the professors at Ghent University. It has been shown that the students' results have led to business implementations and, in addition, new employees.   In short: ➡️ What? Internship for MaNaMa students in data science ➡️ Goal? Supporting business strategy and decisions ➡️ When? Start in April 2025 ➡️ Cost? 20.000€ (ex. VAT) ➡️ More information? https://lnkd.in/eZ4SXwDq Jeroen De Maeyer, Dirk VAN den POEL, Nicole Berx  

Kick off the new year with our first Tech@Lunch webinar, where we delve into an transformative topic: 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, presented by Johan Van Noten. 📅More information & registration: https://lnkd.in/eMyRMnzV

Innovating with Flanders Make Developing The One was no small feat. Together with Flanders Make, we tackled the unique challenges of creating a cycling computer that prioritizes accuracy, simplicity, and reliability—even in the toughest conditions. This collaboration highlights how cutting-edge research and a clear vision can redefine cycling technology. We’re proud to share this story and grateful to Flanders Make for being a vital partner in our journey.

Tijdens deze Masterclass maken we je wegwijs in een brede waaier aan oplossingen en tools, voor de juiste keuzes op maat van jouw bedrijf. Met steun van VLAIO #industriepartnerschap. 

Having spent 8 years working in the French ecosystem, I was happy to co-host Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises delegation at Flanders Make Kortrijk site together with Grisja Lobbestael and Koen Maertens. A delegation of companies active in the sector of advanced materials, together with POLYMERIS & AXELERA clusters, were introduced to the Flanders Make network and were able to witness some of our Industry 5.0 demonstrators in action. Lots of untapped collaboration potential between the two regional ecosystems, great job for taking the initiative and making the connection Oraline Wiart (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Entreprises) and Peter Jaspers (Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT)). Just in time for the upcoming #HorizonEurope calls - looking forward to the next steps!

Next Tuesday, Dec 10th, my colleague Ewoud Verhelst and me are giving a course on Skilled-Based Robot Programming and how it can be applied to build your own Digital Assembly Assistant. By the end of this 4h course, you will be proficient in transitioning a collaborative robot (cobot) from traditional hardcoded programming to a more flexible, parameterized skill-based system. You'll also learn to develop your own library of skills for various applications.

𝗟𝗲𝘂𝗸 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘄𝘀! 🎉 Mijn doctoraatsproefschrift is vanaf nu vrij beschikbaar voor iedereen: https://lnkd.in/eApzHXbT In mijn onderzoek heb ik de rekenkundig efficiënte sliding discrete Fourier transform (𝗦𝗗𝗙𝗧) toegepast voor 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 van stangenmechanismen. De experimenten, uitgevoerd op een diverse reeks mechanismen, laten veelbelovende resultaten zien. De stap richting toepassingen in de industrie lijkt zeker en vast gezet. Een doctoraatstraject vraagt vaak om onderzoeksuitdagingen zelfstandig op te lossen. Als 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿 bij Flanders Make werk ik nu in een team met uitgebreide expertise in 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮 & 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. In mijn korte tijd hier heb ik al enorm veel bijgeleerd en kreeg ik de kans om te bekijken of de SDFT-aanpak ook geschikt is voor 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 van industriële robots. Geoptimaliseerde 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 is het doel. De simulaties tonen alvast mooie resultaten. Voel je vrij om de tekst eens door te nemen! We staan open voor mogelijke samenwerkingen en nieuwe ideeën. #Research #PhD #Innovation #MotionControl #ParameterTracking #Robotica #OpenAccess
