List of projects approved by the MecaTech Cluster since the end of 2006:
The RABISEAU project consists of the construction of a 1200 square meter building on a 35-acre site in the north of the Charleroi region (Martinrou Industrial Park, Fleurus). Diarotech, which has been operating for more than 10years the buildings of the Héraclès Business Center in Gilly, started this construction project in 2015 within a suitable industrial …
The ROMISY project is aimed at making 3D microsystems more robust. The growing use of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMs) in classic actuator and sensor markets raises serious concerns regarding the systems’ reliability. The ROMISY project intends to answer these critical questions by designing a CAE (computer-aided engineering) tool that will allow for these reliability issues as …
RPI is a project to develop a solution for the real-time monitoring of patient movements applied to proton beam therapy. This project takes advantage of the intelligence and technology of two Walloon products that have proven their technological value to give rise to a new function. More broadly, it benefits from the complementarity of its …
SAVE is a project to develop a stand-alone, generic embedded system/onboard device for vision. The availability of embedded systems and onboard devices equipped with various types of sensor, wireless connectivity, networking features, and smart processing abilities opens the gates to a flood of innovative services and the ability to tackle problems that were heretofore impossible …
The SE (French for “Embedded Systems”) project provides innovative training in ES architectures, software tools, and sensors. ESs are found in most of today’s machines and industries, such as transport, industry, telecommunications, construction, health, sustainable development, security applications, etc. The project’s aims are to raise awareness, inform, and train enterprises on how to integrate and …
This project aims to develop a decentralized dual-flow ventilation technology in the ventilation market of residential and small-scale buildings, both in renovation and new construction. This project should fulfill 3 essential objectives: the improvement of acoustic performances at higher flow rates the simultaneous recovery of heat and humidity, in particular, to provide a solution to …
SILICALLOY is a totally chrome-free treatment that gives galvanized surfaces good corrosion resistance and offers excellent adherence for subsequent coatings. The original problem concerned the surface conversion of galvanized steel by chromium VI, which is toxic and carcinogenic. The project has produced the first chromation replacement treatment to combine effectiveness and sustainable development through the …
In recent years, the emerging technologies for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants combine a central receptor located at the top of a 200 metre high tower and molten salt as the heat transfer fluid. The advantage of using molten salt to transfer the generated heat is that it can be stored at high temperatures, which turns …
