List of projects approved by the MecaTech Cluster since the end of 2006:
The aim of the SWS project is to integrate a totally electronic explosive train into a weapon. This integration requires study of the following technological blocks: Secure communication: Today, in the era of the Internet of Things, it is important to be able to communicate with weapons as transparently as possible Electronic activation: The ammunition …
The biggest, potential innovation at Thales Alenia Space Belgium is the material addition technology. This is the purpose of the THERMAM project. Three areas of activity interact in this project: additive manufacturing (3D printing), thermal management and mechanical design of support structures for electronic circuits in a space environment. This project will make it possible …
The THIXOACIER project involves the manufacturing of quasi-finished threedimensional steel parts by thixoforming. The aims? Shaping parts that meet the needs of the automotive, transport, and arms sectors by means of a thixoforming process Developing regional know-how The result? This project has proven the feasibility of producing the thixotropic raw material in the crude casting …
THIXOWAL was set up to achieve the technically and economically viable industrialization of the thixoforming process. The aim is to be present along the entire value chain by making use of casting, forming, simulation, optimization and experimental validation (ULg), design and manufacturing of forming plant, and industrial validation technologies. The THIXOWAL project is a direct …
IEM Power Systems SA, a company specializing in dynamic UPS, confirms its anchorage in Belgium, by equipping itself with a building of 1775 m², intended to ensure the production of its machines. The development of innovative new generations of machines is also entrusted to the engineering teams in Liege, responsible for designing and testing these new …
Strong growth has led IsoHemp – a company run by Olivier Beghin and Jean-Baptiste de Mahieu – to enlarge its facilities, which will now be deployed over a two-hectare site. A new production plant will be commissioned in early 2020. It will be one of the most innovative in the ecodesign building sector. The new production facility will be …
VIRTUOSO’s aim is to design tools for operational excellence. Specifically, the project is aimed at designing a tool for the mathematical optimization of industrial processes; NOx, SOx, and Cox sensors with IR spectroscopy readings; and collaborative process management software that includes the running of operations through the constant real-time broadcasting of relevant information.
VIWI is developing a wireless active glass pane that is controlled thanks to the information received by integrated sensors or a radiofrequency (RF) module which communicates with the user or Building Management System. This project is aimed at adding an innovation to the energy management of buildings by proposing to implement a stand-alone management system in a …
