Wim van der Hoek Award goes to Avans duo Marc Slob and Youp Verbakel
|
Prize for the automatic assembly of shovels and spades. During the 22nd edition of the Precision Fair, held in Den Bosch (NL), the Wim van der Hoek Award was presented under the auspices of DSPE (Dutch Society for Precision Engineering). For the first time, the prize went to a duo, Marc Slob and Youp Verbakel. Together, they graduated from Avans University of Applied Sciences with the design of a machine for the automatic assembly of a wide variety of shovels and spades.

Students at the Precisionfair
|
The mission of DSPE YPN is to connect young professionals in Precision Engineering to each other, and to the extensive network of DSPE companies. A part of our target audience are students that are close to graduation and will soon enter this environment. To help them getting familiar with the Dutch Precision Engineering ecosystem, YPN facilitated a visit to the Precision Fair in Den Bosch on November 16th for students from Delft University of Technology and University of Twente.
|
This activity was made possible by the support of six companies that are both member of DSPE and have a booth at the Precision Fair. Not only did they provide information about their own company, but they were also available to the students for questions about the projects and technologies that they are working on. This can be of tremendous help for soon-graduates to choose a direction in their precision engineering career.
|
|
We hope that we added clear value to the experience of both the students and the participating companies by connecting them to each other and want to thank everyone involved for the interesting and enjoyable activity!

Mikroniek November 2023: Software & Machine Learning
|
|
The November issue of Mikroniek is devoted to the theme of Software & Machine Learning.
|
|
In his editorial, AI/deep learning/machine learning consultant Jan Jacobs pleads for ‘embodied’ instead of embedded AI. The theme cover story features opportunities of digital twins for high-tech systems; from fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance to control reconfiguration. Other theme articles cover, a.o., AI trends and agricultural applications. Also included is a preview of the Precision Fair 2023 and a report of the Gas Bearing Workshop 2023.

Wim van der Hoek Award 2023 nominees
|
This year, the jury has received a total of four nominations for students who applied existing or new design principles in their graduation work in an appealing manner. The award includes a certificate, a trophy produced by the Leidse instrumentmakers School and a sum of money (sponsored by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) EAISI institute).

Gas-bearing design supported by artificial intelligence
|
One of the most discussed issues at the Gas Bearing Workshop 2023 was how artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to reduce the computational efforts for designing gas bearings.

Agricultural evolution with deep learning
|
Deep learning is pivotal in modern agriculture, especially for advanced agri-robots.Using vast data, these robots discern patterns, optimising tasks from herbicide application to disease detection. However, their consistent performance hinges on a deep-learning system adept at agricultural complexities.

From fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance to control reconfiguration
|
Digital twins are increasingly being developed for industrial high-tech systems. The exciting opportunities that digital twins have to offer for fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and controller reconfiguration, are outlined in this Mikroniek article. The proposed solutions increase economic value by minimising downtime through nonintrusive diagnostics. (Image courtesy of ASML and TU/e)
