🏆 The TARGET-X 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 has officially ended. A big thank you to all the participants who submitted their proposals. After an extensive multi-step evaluation process, several SMEs and consortia were selected to receive funding. These innovative projects are now advancing with the support of their mentors in developing their use cases. 🔎 One of the funded projects is 𝟓𝐆-𝐄𝐐𝐂𝐓 by the company TRYGONS S.A., which focuses on automating quality control in composite parts manufacturing. By leveraging ultra-high-definition and thermal cameras, 5G-EQCT aims to detect surface and subsurface defects, such as air inclusions, with unparalleled precision—going beyond the capabilities of human vision. Currently, the project is working on acquiring essential hardware and establishing a test bench for sample testing and data collection. The goal is to develop a cost-effective final prototype that will be a game-changer for the broader manufacturing sector.   We are excited to see the progress of 𝟓𝐆-𝐄𝐐𝐂𝐓 and its contribution to the future of quality control!

I’m at FABTECH Expo this week in Orlando, Florida, Booth W2317, talking all about automation and robotics! The biggest obstacle to adding robotics and automation is the fear of the unknown. Technology is good, but it cannot work miracles. In fact, adding automation will expose inefficiencies in your processes. So how does your business start this process of adding automation? Moving to automation can be easier than you think. All it takes is the right roadmap. We’ve created a proven blueprint to guide you through the integration of automation. No matter where you are in the process, we'll meet you there and guide you to the finish line, creating a stronger standard for your business. Through our lived experience, DeGeest Corporation, created a Proven Path to Automation, a step-by-step approach designed to help companies enhance their production through technology, even when faced with workforce challenges and fluctuating market conditions. Our proven path is all about controlling your equipment, processes, finisher knowledge, automation and your future. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be able to capture the knowledge of your finishing team while adding technology in phases to help your people and improve your processes. Visit our booth at FABTECH, to chat with myself and our team to learn how you can apply a proven path to automation to your business! We’ll also be showcasing demonstrations of our LestaUSA Self-Learning Painting & Finishing Robots. Stop by for a live-demo to learn all the solutions these robots can provide for your line. From painting to finishing for wood and metal, these robots and technology are a game-changer for manufacturers. Who: LestaUSA integrated by DeGeest Corporation Location: Finishing Pavilion, Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FL Date: October 15-17 Booth: W2317 Learn more → https://hubs.li/Q02TpBS50 #automation #manufacturing #robotics #finishing #astrongerstandard #strongerindustry #strongerproducts #strongertogether #industryrevolution #industrialautomation #industrialcoating #dayonerobotics #composites #fabtech2024

ALABAMA Project Update - General Assembly in Dresden, Germany 📍💻 We updated on the first progress of the ALABAMA Project presented during our recent meeting in Dresden! The ALABAMA project focuses on developing laser technologies for additive manufacturing (AM), with the aim of reducing porosity and improving the microstructure of materials through innovative sensor technology. Using multi-scale physical models and advanced monitoring and control techniques, we aim to improve the quality of production processes with a sustainable approach. Thanks to the contribution of our partners, we are progressing towards a reduction in defects by up to 50% and an increase in productivity by up to 100%, carrying out our mission to create more efficient and sustainable additive production. 🌍⚙ Aerobase Innovations AB Paolo Castelli #ALABAMAProject #AdditiveManufacturing #LaserTechnology #Innovation #Sustainability #Dresden #AdvancedManufacturing
