Make lab
With the support of
Our Make Lab is a mobile research lab that we have filled to the brim with top technology. This fully connected research infrastructure is a living lab in which we work together with companies to find solutions for their specific technological challenges. We offer:
- demonstrations of new industry 4.0 technologies
- training sessions with these new technologies for your operators
- feasibility studies
Demonstrations
The working conditions in the production environment of the future will change drastically following the introduction of:
- Virtual Reality
- Augmented Reality
- Digital work instructions
- Programming of robots
- Collaboration with robots
- etc.
Companies are often reluctant or weary of these new technologies. With our Make Lab, we demonstrate these technologies and offer companies the opportunity to test and experience them in a realistic workplace scenario and in a casual atmosphere.
Training sessions
Operators in the production environments of tomorrow will play a different role in the organisation. Connected machines and ‘big data’ are the drivers of the factory of the future. New technologies such as VR and AR will support operators, for instance by showing customised digital instructions or by demonstrating procedures using 3D projections. As operators will have to learn to work together with a collaborative robot, their work will be different, better, more efficient and adapted to the limitations of an ageing population.
We offer our Make Lab for practice-oriented training sessions on:
- Virtual and Augmented Reality
- Digital work instructions
- 3D projections
- Working together with and programming of robots and cobots
- etc.
Furthermore in our Make Lab, we can measure the physical and cognitive load of operators during their operations.
Feasibility studies
Our Make Lab is also available for feasibility studies. Do you have a certain (assembly) technology or methodology that you wish to test but you do not have the infrastructure or miss the expertise to complete your research? Flanders Make can help you with this. Together, we will establish the best solution to your (technological) challenge and test it in realistic workplace conditions.
