Not only chocolates and beers, but also our expertise and experience in offshore wind energy has now become a Belgian export product of worldwide fame. This will be demonstrated once again at the International Offshore Wind Partnering Forum (IPF), North America's leading conference on offshore wind ...

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) is a world leader in the development and production of multi-megawatt wind turbines for use on land and at sea. The company aims to guarantee reliable and robust machines, capable of fulfilling customer expectations worldwide, even in the harshest weather ...

When striving for an Industry 4.0 production system, the first requirement is to connect the production machines within a network. In a machining production environment with a wide variety of machines - modern, obsolete, designed for batch processes, manual, etc. - this presents a major challenge.

SBM Offshore is a global group of companies developing systems and services to the offshore industry. Its constituent companies started their offshore activities in the early 1950s and SBM Offshore subsequently became a pioneer in the development of single point mooring (SPM) systems. The firm ...

Today many market segments are moving towards automobile requirements: making the reduction of production costs sustainable, and achieving quality/delivery goals close to perfection while proposing personalised products to customers. Taking these new expectations into account requires a breakthrough ...

Because the effect of digitisation projects on business results varies greatly, it is important to make the right choices. In this article, we highlight the digital tool with perhaps the greatest imaginable effect on operational processes: the product configurator.

From 2 to 4 November Bruges will be hosting the 2022 EAWE PhD, expecting to welcome over 100 PhD researchers from all over Europe, interested in key-talks and presentations on wind energy. The organisation lies with the PhairywinD PhD group, nine Belgian early-stage researchers focusing on offshore ...

Adaptive machining allows specific actions to be taken in machining, based on the actual production situation. The successful application depends on the availability of correct (real-time) data and the corresponding structured and digitalised working methods. For the latter, we have developed ...

The passion for sustainability has conquered our society at high speed. Strong carbon-neutral legislative objectives are set with the intention of reducing the environmental impact for all industries. This is how we are aiming to achieve a 30% reduction in the materials footprint by 2030 in Flanders ...

The complex machining process presents many challenges, one of which is controlling vibrations caused by the dynamic behaviour of the machine, the tool and the workpiece. New hardware developments are making it increasingly easy to measure this vibration and thus intervene effectively.
