Lasaanduidingen volgens de ISO-normen

Er is iets bijzonders aan een lasverbinding. Waar twee losse stukken metaal bij elkaar komen, ontstaat — onder intense hitte, met de juiste techniek en kennis — iets wat sterker is dan de delen afzonderlijk. Dat is in wezen ook wat goed vakmanschap doet: het verbindt, het versterkt, het maakt iets wat blijft. Maar voor die kwaliteit begint het bij…

From Lab to Fab, Predictably

Have you ever had key staff leave mid-project, creating delivery risk and loss of knowledge? Or software projects go over budget, with limited visibility early on? Reliability is a strong concern for semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Customers do not only evaluate whether a machine works in the lab. They also evaluate whether it can be deployed, integrated,…

Cleanroom data is the new battleground

Everyone is talking about AI. But AI without trusted data is just expensive fiction. In cleanrooms, we already generate massive amounts of data every single day: temperature, relative humidity, pressure cascades, airflow, energy consumption, alarms, door movements, HVAC performance, filter behavior. The real question is never do we have data? The real question is: can we…

AI, industry, and motion control: Why Europe’s strength now lies in mechanical engineering

Anyone involved in AI quickly encounters a familiar narrative: the major breakthroughs are happening elsewhere. In the U.S. and Asia, tech companies are investing billions in data centers, platforms, and foundation models. In this picture, Europe often appears as a bystander – strong in regulation, but weak in scaling and speed. However, this narrative falls short. It views artificial intelligence…
