Digitalization

Product & process intelligence

“Wisely used, we believe that digital technologies are fabulous tools to empower the energy transition, the circular economy, the advanced manufacturing and the industrial efficiency. Therefore, we develop innovative smart products and sensors meeting specific demands and we integrate customized IoT and AI solutions in the processes and products of our customers to create more value.”
Catherine Archambeau
Unit Manager Advanced and Smart Surface Solutions and Platform Coordinator Digitalization

Digitalization is changing the world around us at a pace we cannot even imagine. Integration of the newest developments in AI, machine learning, IoT, cloud solutions, and big data open up unprecedented innovation opportunities in the industrial eco-system.

However, safeguarding its data, security, and intellectual property are major challenges that need to be embedded in the technological solution. Making sure there is a level playing field and leaving no one behind in this digital transformation are key elements for success.

Artificial intelligence for industry

Successful implementation of Industry 4.0 relies on smart sensors, IoT systems and consciously selected AI tools. Our combined process know-how, dedicated sensor development to capture data with high precision in harsh environments and modelling skills deliver integrated solutions for effective process improvement.

Preventive maintenance and quality control

Both with intuitive operator support solutions like ISYROLL® as with online implemented sensors like CleanEx, RollProf, CrossBowMeter, Online Microscope and many more, surface degradation or product quality data is efficiently captured. Subsequent visualization, labelling and neural network modelling are available to support preventive actions in daily maintenance or insert (online) feedback to production operations.

Smart solutions

The evolution from flat printed circuits to 3D additive electronics pushes its’ integration towards 3D innovative solutions for various sectors like automotive, aeronautics & aerospace, smart buildings and defense. Strain, speed and temperature measurement or active heating, and connectivity through RFID and wireless are implemented by combining expertise in metallic surface treatment with printed sensors on unconventional substrates.

Printed and structural electronics

Electronic functions can be conformable, flexible and directly integrated in the structure of any object. Our solutions, unique for direct printing on metallic substrate, meet requirements in the most severe conditions like high temperature or corrosive environment, whilst taking into account product circularity.
