The Internet of Things is conquering the world, already well established in some domains and starting a revolution in others, such as the medical and patient care sector. The new upcoming applications may require other integration techniques to be considered. Enter '3D-PID', developed by Sirris ...

Belgium is the fourth most productive country in the world, but our productivity growth has been sputtering. In this series we present some practical tips each time to boost productivity in the office and on the shop floor.

Biofilms - layers of micro-organisms in a mucus layer which is adhered to a surface - are considered a nuisance in many sectors and are therefore fought against. However, they also offer protection and can be useful, for example, as a living skin for architecture, which is what an innovation project ...

Fitting custom interior doors on large construction sites is far from easy. To get the job done as correctly and efficiently as possible, Kulapro examined the options for an augmented reality-based indoor navigation system for its installers.

Innovative technologies making companies stronger and more competitive for the future also have a lot to offer to the machining industry. The Interreg project 'Machining 4.0' translates the broad Industry 4.0 vision into concrete applications for machining, tailored to SMEs. Within this context we ...

Controlling and adjusting production machining through the use of data - including real-time data - is called 'adaptive processing'. It’s the future of production and is made possible by the increased availability of sensors. However, everything depends on having and understanding a standardised and ...

On the online platform ‘Model-based machining’ you can find calculation models that use information from tool life curves for finding the most economical cutting speed. This lets you select the most cost-effective machining process. We are organising training courses to help with the practical ...

Everyone gains from the ability to deliver sustainable quality to the steel processing industry. Nevertheless, new steel techniques and steel compositions are causing a lot of headaches for many coaters and galvanizers. That is why VOM, ZINKINFO and Sirris want to start a joint investigation into ...

The freedom 3D printing provides has solved numerous technical challenges by allowing manufacturing of high-technicity parts straight, but some technical challenges still remain unsolved. Sirris aims to make a change here with its developments in thermoplastic additive manufacturing.

Tool monitoring is needed in the milling process in order to be able to automate it and to ensure the quality of the products. This is not an easy task where micromilling tools are involved, but acoustic sensors can offer a solution for this.
