SDC26 Educational Stand
Engineering students and factory trainees lack hands-on platforms to learn advanced Industry 4.0 automation. Universities often teach theoretical computer vision and manufacturing principles, but rarely provide physical equipment to practice integrating AI with mechanical systems. Consequently, graduates enter the workforce unprepared for zero-defect manufacturing. Simultaneously, industrial manufacturers face high training costs and defect risks when upskilling assembly operators directly on live production lines. There is a critical unmet need for a safe, practical training environment that bridges the gap between academic theory and the realities of modern AI-driven factory floors.
Nemean BioLabs B.V.
Bacteria colonise heat exchanger surfaces and form insulating biofilms. Fouled exchangers use up to 35% more energy, and fouling costs industry an estimated €200B a year. Operators fight it with copper biocides, dosed after fouling has started, or with PFAS coatings. Both are being regulated out by upcoming EU regulations.
Scea
Critical systems are built and changed by many hands: developers, AI agents, suppliers, factories. When a buyer, an auditor or a supervisor asks what is inside a system, what changed and who approved it, organisations answer with documents, logs and their own word. A drone buyer cannot check that the software and parts in a unit match the specification. An auditor cannot check that a log was never edited. The outside party has to trust, not verify. EU rules now ask for more: DORA for financial institutions, and from 2027 the Machinery Regulation for machines.
