Hackathon Win! Distilled an Idea to PoC in 48 Hours at AGC Glass Europe Huge thanks to LTIMindtree for letting me participate in an INSANE 2-day hackathon at AGC Glass Europe ! The entire group was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable – we generated over 80 ideas in just 2 hours! **Our team (shoutout to Quentin, Francois & Gaultier!) rose to the challenge and took 1st place! ** We took an idea from scratch, developed a proof-of-concept (PoC), and delivered a winning pitch to the AGC jury. **Key Learnings**: The power of rapid iteration: In a short timeframe, we learned to quickly test and refine our ideas, making them stronger with each step. The value of diverse perspectives: Our team's varied backgrounds and skillsets were instrumental in developing a well-rounded solution. What's your experience with hackathons? #hackathon #AGC #innovation #collaboration #LTIMindtree

🔋Proud to be part of this customer transformation journey! VDL Groep is investing in cutting-edge EV battery assembly production. Part of this program is Ansomatic operator guidance solution allowing zero-defects assembly through Cognex Corporation vision checks. Over the last 2 weeks TNO is doing an experiment of 4 groups with 20 different students of different studies, skills, background to capture the true impact of operator guidance making it even more tangible. This project perfectly reflect what motivates Ansomat being in this industry:   ☝️The principle that anyone, regardless background or competence level should be able to contribute to society and be able to build the products of the future. It’s about growing workforce employability and inclusivity. ✌️Second, this effort is crucial for bolstering European manufacturers in their mission to scale up EV battery assembly. #ManuMatters #EVBatteryAssembly #ManufacturingInclusivity #OperatorGuidance

New tender criteria for the next offshore wind farm areas in the Netherlands were just released last week. And circularity is again a topic that influences the whole supply chain. Happy to discuss this and many other aspects of circularity (CRMs, transparency, digitalisation, circular strategies, resilience etc) at #OEEC2024 ! See you there!

📣We just won the Industrial Water Innovation Award 2024, from the Belgian water industry networks B-IWA (Belgian-International Water Association) and watercircle.be. When I think of what makes us especially happy in this case, 3 things of this award stand out: 1. ‘Belgian’ 🇧🇪: we have built significant business outside Belgium and are gradually growing activities within our home country. The national support and recognition really means a lot to us. 2. ‘Innovation’ 🧠: every innovator reading this knows how difficult it is to innovate. Innovation by default goes along with change. Even if that change is good for society, it still is difficult to manifest. 3. ‘Industrial’💧: science and innovation are meaningless if it doesn’t get applied. It’s only the application of knowledge and ideas that causes societal impact. Industrial application and breakthrough is a very tricky part of innovation. Yet an essential part of it. All I can do is to thank B-IWA, Watercircle and International Water Association for this award. And our great team, customers, partners and supporters for creating the future of digital with us. #waterindustry #digitalwater

✨️ Construction on the long and winding stairway to digital transformation... ✨️ Had the pleasure of spending a full day with Claes Henschel, Lars Stehn and Olivier LEPINOY discussing both high and low level challenges, and possibilities, of digital transformation in construction. A lot of initiatives going on both nationally and internationally (for examples see e.g. HYPER Construction and The Arc of Transformation) and construction contractors need to also play offense and exploit opportunities, not just play defense and minimize risk. Yet, still a lot of the transformation that needs further research and investigation. The feeling after this day (as my co-supervisor Joakim Wikner said during my PhD studies): "Still confused, but on a higher level". 😀 More to come on the subject the higher we get...! #digitalization #digitaltransformation #liu #liubygglogistik #smartbuilt
