ATLAS Prime: A new standard for controlled environment development
Designing a facility has always involved many moving parts. Consultants, HVAC engineers, process specialists, cost estimators, and validation experts each work in sequence, each adding time to the overall process. The result is a process that takes weeks before an end user receives a first layout, an indicative CAPEX budget, or any insight into future operating costs. For industries…
Automation Doesn’t Replace Precision. It Makes Precision Scalable.
For decades, the photonics industry has pushed the boundaries of precision. Nanometer positioning, sub-micron alignment and exceptional optical performance have enabled technologies that were once thought impossible. But achieving precision once is no longer enough.

Machineverordening 2027 dwingt fabrikanten security en veiligheid samen te brengen
Op zijn jaarlijkse persconferentie vandaag zette automatiseringsspecialist Pilz uiteen waarom de machineverordening 2027 het vakgebied ingrijpend verandert. Vanaf 20 januari 2027 geldt verordening (EU) 2023/1230 zonder overgangstermijn, waardoor industriële security voor het eerst een wettelijke voorwaarde wordt voor functionele veiligheid. De bijbehorende norm EN 50742 verschijnt volgens Pilz pas in november, ruim twee maanden voor die datum.
Wereldprimeur met bouw van hoogvermogen-sorptiekoelers
Voor het nauwkeurig en ongestoord meten bij extreem lage temperatuur heeft big-science project Einstein Telescope (ET) koeling nodig die trillingsvrij is. Het consortium, bestaande uit Demcon kryoz, Universiteit Twente en Cooll, werkt aan een oplossing op basis van sorptiekoeling, een principe dat al wordt toegepast in cryogene microkoelers. Momenteel bouwen zij trillingsvrije koelers op macroformaat,…
De eerste ambulance die rijdt en werkt op zonne-energie
Solar Team Eindhoven, een studententeam van de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (STE), heeft een zonne-ambulance ontwikkeld die mensen in afgelegen gebieden medische hulp kan bieden. Stella Juva, zoals de wagen heet, wordt binnenkort getest in Kenia.

Deal with mm and with AWG
Are you also an engineer who sometimes has to deal with mm and sometimes with AWG? With thinner wire diameters it is not so easy to find a conversion table: We have now added this to our website. Read more [Picture source: KUK Coils on linkedin.com]
What it takes to make AI really work in manufacturing
AI offers enormous opportunities for industry. Machines that predict their own maintenance, systems that can find the right information within seconds, software that optimizes processes. The technology already exists. But why do some organizations succeed in creating real value from it while others do not? Download the whitepaper
We built a gas mixer, and it’s actually really amazing
This system takes a source gas from a cylinder and dilutes it to an exact concentration, automatically, reliably, and clean enough for one of the most demanding environments on the planet: the semiconductor industry. Read more
