Join the IEEE Benelux Section Life Members Affinity Group on a visit to Flanders Make @KU Leuven in Heverlee, Belgium.

Flanders Make https://www.flandersmake.be/en is the strategic research centre for industrial innovation in the mechatronic and manufacturing industry in Flanders. It brings together the knowledge and expertise of more than 1,100 researchers, working at the five Flemish universities as well as in their facilities for application-oriented research in Kortrijk, Leuven and Lommel. Our visit will take place at the Flanders Make laboratories located at KU Leuven where we can be familiarized with their recent activities in the field of product design, system dynamics, robotics and control and smart manufacturing.

After an introduction to the research centre, an overview will be presented how the various research programs address the evolving industrial challenges, for example for vehicle electrification, production efficiency, machine diagnostics and autonomous motion. This is then followed by a tour in the research laboratories where the ongoing research will be demonstrated at the hand of concrete test setups.
