Software is a crucial building block of high-tech systems.
Software has long ceased to be an afterthought in the development of mechatronic systems. At Demcon high-tech systems, software engineers contribute ideas regarding architecture, functionality, and system behavior right from the first customer meetings. According to Laura Claas, Group Leader Software at Demcon high-tech systems, software has grown into a fully-fledged discipline and one of…
DEMCON and MassSpecpecD BV Partner to Scale Breakthrough Analytical Technology
DEMCON and MassSpecpecD BV are collaborating to bring MassSpecpecD’s laser-based Chiral Mass Spectrometry technology (MS-PECD) to commercial scale. This advanced analytical technology, based on PhotoElectron Circular Dichroism, enables direct and highly sensitive detection of the enantiomeric composition of chiral molecules. It offers promising potential for applications in sectors such as food, flavors & fragrances, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, as well…
The Demcon 2026 Photonics Grand Tour & The Big Opportunities

Building a sun on earth sounds extremely challenging. And it is nothing less
Plasma held in place by powerful magnetic fields. Cryogenic systems operating at temperatures close to absolute zero. Diagnostic instruments measuring plasma composition, neutron flux, x-ray radiation and more, in an environment no sensor was originally designed for. Remote handling systems operating where no human can go. Read more [Picture source: Demcon…
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,…
The AI vision is in place. Now it’s time to build the data and execute
In high-tech systems, the challenge is not just building a smart algorithm. The real challenge is making that algorithm an integrated part of the complete system. That means connecting data, hardware, software, electronics, mechanics, physics and compliance from the very beginning. Not as separate components, but as one engineered solution. Read more
