Automation can relieve operators of labour-intensive, monotonous tasks such as sanding. However, this is hard to apply to small series and varied products. The COOCK project COBOFIN examines this ...
A first milestone in the EMR Digital Twin Academy project has been reached with the launch of a first set of 21 basic training modules, created by the Interreg European programme, gathering all the ...
Lasers are used in different ways to cut material. New technologies such as ultrashort pulsed (USL) lasers can cut transparent materials in a new way: 'stealth dicing'. Ultrashort pulsed lasers - ...
The use of (real-time) data to adjust production processes - in machining one speaks of "adaptive machining" - is the future of production. This is made possible by the increased availability of ...
Workpieces often require finishing stages, such as deburring or sanding, to achieve the required final quality. In the COBOFIN project, Sirris is investigating the extent to which these operations can ...
The number of industrial applications for cobots continues to grow. However, many SMEs are hesitating to take the plunge, given the unclear ROI, especially within high-mix-low-volume environments. As ...
How can digital technologies and platforms and digitally driven AMRs be implemented faster to achieve (more) flexibility and efficiency gains in production? How can added value be created with this in practice, also for SMEs? The new COOCK project FlexIn²Log tries to find answers to these questions in cooperation with manufacturing companies and their logistics and ICT partners.
Oerlikon Balzers Coating celebrates its 30th anniversary with a four-day programme, filled with expert lectures and presentations. Sirris too will make a contribution on the added value of coatings ...
Do you need to guarantee the quality of your AM process or product? Sirris can help by identifying the variables to be controlled, exploiting data to support traceability and to understand and predict ...
The use of bio-based materials is considered an essential contribution to sustainable design of novel composites and coatings, but critical assessment of sustainable metrics is needed for independent ...
Femtosecond lasers are now on the rise. Large-scale industrial applications, however, require higher capacities, and this is where the problem still lies. But evolution does not stand still, and the ...
