Extra remarks
Top Technology Tour postponed
Due to the new Covid-19 uprising we are unfortunately forced to postpone our Top Technology on Tour. Your safety and that of our employees is our highest priority, that is why we have decided to move the event to a later date. In this way we want to give everyone the chance to participate in an inspiring, and above all safe, event.
Tickets that have already been ordered will be cancelled and will be completely refunded.
Top Technology on tour
Although we are not organizing our annual Flanders Make Symposium this year, we would still like to offer you a glimpse of the future of our industry. That is why we invite you to our first Top Technology on Tour: a roadshow for small-scale gatherings throughout Flanders, focusing on our latest and most promising technological developments.
On November 27, we open the Ethias Arena in Hasselt for a 3-hour event where you will discover:
- Our vision on current trends that will determine the future of the industry
- The main results of our technological research
During a guided demonstration tour, we will show our latest technological developments and, at the same time, give you the opportunity to talk directly with the top experts involved. In addition, we will provide an opportunity to meet – in small groups – business managers, CTOs and R&D-managers of large companies and SMEs. In this way, we aim to inspire you to fully commit to technological innovation within your company in order to remain competitive in challenging conditions.
Programme
Throughout the day, sessions for 20 participants will start every half hour. The complete 3-hour technology tour includes:
- A Flanders Make introduction on the status & trends of our industry
- A guided tour, in small groups, showing our most promising technological developments
- Opportunity to meet - in small groups - business managers, CTOs and R&D-managers of large companies and SMEs with drinks and, depending on the time frame, a lunch or a fine selection of snacks
2 guided tours
We offer 2 different guided demo tours:
- The product design tour - which focuses on the latest product innovations.
Here we will demonstrate, a.o., a tractor that autonomously picks and unloads pallets, machine drivetrains and potential performance optimisations (e.g. a fast pick & place unit for a cold forming machine), a smart vehicle with in-wheel motors and active shock absorbers for enhanced driving comfort on speed bumps, and much more … - The production optimisation tour - which focuses on the latest innovations for production environments.
Here we will demonstrate, a.o., how to automatically detect assembly issues based on CAD designs of the assembled product, how to assess the quality of work instructions using sensor data of an assembly task execution, how a mobile robot autonomously loads a production machine, and much more …
Our experts will take you, in groups of 10 people, on a guided tour. So there will be plenty of time for discussion along the way.
Covid-19 precautions
We take all the necessary Covid-19 protection measures. Your safety is our main concern. We work with mandatory registrations and limit the number of attendees per session. The guided tours will be organised in small groups and follow a very strict time schedule.
