Our XR lab is the result of the participation in the EFRO project “Machinebouw- en mechatronicacentrum West-Vlaanderen” (Machineconstruction and mechatronics center West Flanders). 

 

The project provides for the establishment of a Machine Building & Mechatronic Center Industry 4.0. The center is based on an intense collaboration between the knowledge centers KU Leuven, UGent, Howest and Sirris and will consist of three components: an innovation center 4.0 where new technologies for the mechatronics and production sector are researched, developed and demonstrated in consultation and cooperation with industry a technology lab involving Virtual & Augmented Reality, one of the basic technologies that support various aspects of Industry 4.0 two application labs on Smart and Flexible Production and Assembly and Smart Production Control where mainly translation research is done and equipment and knowledge is widely distributed to companies to evaluate the feasibility of new technologies for their application. The project also aims to establish an open innovation platform for consultation between all stakeholders, guiding the various components and defining the future strategy. Come visit us during our “Open-lab-days”! Here we can demonstrate and have a exploratory talk about how your question regarding these technologies can be implemented in your company. More information about this project can be found on the website (https://fabriekenvoordetoekomst.be/technologielab-augmented-virtual-reality-machinebouw-mechatronicalabs). Funding: Vlaio, 2 years Any further questions or an update when the next “Open-lab-Day” is, please contact ellen.vandenbruwaene@howest.be
