Spring is here - and the #Manufacturing R&D Cluster conference is around the corner! #Manufacturing and production research and innovation is more important than ever: it's the core to develop solutions for a #sustainable and #carbon-free society. How is industry deploying new ground breaking R&I solutions? What are the strategies and funding opportunities for industry and researchers? All of this and more is presented at Swedish Manufacturing R&D Cluster conference May 22-23.

The Fraunhofer-Leitprojekt ORCHESTER is leading the way in creating the #resilient and #sustainable supply of functionally reliable #materials. Today, we are delving into ORCHESTER’s #DigitalEcosystem that will enable us to explore alternative materials, maintain production chains during crises and reduce dependencies on critical elements. This digital ecosystem will be realized by a platform for the management of data, information and knowledge from different sources via semantic technologies, with the aim of offering and running customized applications and facilitating decision-making in engineering. Key features of ORCHESTER’s digital ecosystem include: ⭐ integrable digital solutions for supporting the development and management of resilient and sustainable process chains for functional materials tailored to customer needs ⭐ data integration from internal and external sources along the supply chain ⭐ the development of digital products for exploration, forecasting and recommendations ⭐ a knowledge graph-based supply chain representation that will ✔️ support engineers to get insights in local processes but also in the upstream/downstream direction of the supply chain ✔️ ease the sovereign exchange of information in order to fully track the lifecycle of products from the development, production, operation down to recycling This enables us to ➡️ improve the speed of R&D operations   ➡️ adapt to the changes of the market more quickly and boost innovation ➡️ improve the performance and ecological footprint of products Build a sustainable future with us by leveraging the power of the digital ecosystem! #SupplyChain #Innovation #EnergyTransition #Fraunhofer 📷 Fraunhofer IWM

Congratulations to our Stämmer of the Week, Alan Velazquez! In case you missed it, two prototypes of our flagship product, The Bioprocessor, together with four of its team members, traveled to BioArk’s facilities in Switzerland and came back with outstanding results. In the meantime, the rest of Bioprocessor’s team stayed to continue enhancing its features. You didn’t think they would just wait around, did you? Innovation doesn’t take any breaks. Originally from an electronics engineering background, Alan is part of this hard-working team. In the quest to provide an all-in-one solution, they iterated on the existing setups that traveled abroad. With no intention of idly standing by, they developed a new version that includes previously unseen features. Continuous inoculation was the goal, and where they set the target was where they got to. Alan's continuous learning allowed him to cement the electronic workings of the new model so that the fluidic works flawlessly and, as importantly, is automatable. By being a bit involved in everything and bringing his dose of curiosity to the table, he was able to leap verification testing, checking that everything was ready for biological testing. It involved a myriad of optimized parameters and acing a fluidic circuit. Thank you, Alan, for ensuring the integration of new modules into the Bioprocessor! (Psst!

Last week, the #Dortmund to:DO action week occurred, serving as a remarkable platform to deliberate on the future of work within the city of Dortmund. In a panel discussion featuring representatives from major corporations based in Dortmund, spanning sectors like insurance, #IT, and industrial #greenhydrogen, we explored our principal strategic challenges. A unanimous conclusion emerged: there's a marked scarcity of specialists, particularly those with backgrounds in IT, engineering, or science. At thyssenkrupp nucera, we're proudly committing to Dortmund by keeping our headquarters here. Over the past three years, we've tripled our team in Dortmund and continue to expand, providing job opportunities that propel the energy transformation forward. A primary #toDOs is to continously support and enhance the academic landscape, which serves as the foundation for nurturing young talent. Our commitment lies in intensifying collaborations with regional universities and research institutes to shape these #youngtalents into the industrial professionals crucial for driving the energy transformation forward. Many thanks for the invitation by Economic Development Agency Dortmund and the other panelist for the great exchange and discussion including Heike Marzen (Economic Development Agency Dortmund), Ulrich Leitermann (SIGNAL IDUNA Gruppe), Volker Gruhn (adesso SE) and Michael Hagedorn (Materna Enterprise Service Management). #WFDO #ZukunftDerArbeit #DortmundsNeueArbeit #Dortmund #greenhydrogen #Teampurple #energygtransformation #netzero #newwork #energietransformation

After a busy few days at the EDANA, the voice of nonwovens Innovation Forum last week in Munich where he presented @Autins developments in Material Uniformity for Non-Wovens, we caught up with our group R&D Manager Alaa Memari, PhD on his experience of the conference and Munich. Here’s what he had to say: Did you enjoy the EDANA conference? Yes! Very much. Did you enjoy speaking at the conference? It was a great experience to speak in front of an audience of experts, innovators and talents in the non-wovens industry. I had a tremendous level of response and interest in my presentation, which I will be following up with all parties individually. Did you make some good connections? I had the chance to discuss and connect with many of the participants at all levels. We are connected via social media and will remain in touch for any mutual interests that arise. Did you learn anything that you can implement at Autins? There was quite a number of innovations that have potential benefits for Autins and the automotive industry. I am looking forward to discussing these potentials with the respective individuals and organisations. Did you get chance to see a bit of Munich? I had a couple of hours after the conference to visit the English Garden in Munich and was lucky enough to have great weather to enjoy it. #Nonwovens #AutomotiveSupplier #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovatio #AutomotiveInnovation #NVH #NoiseAndVibration
