    European Coating Journal publishes a reflexion on how monitoring can accelerate innovation and improve production efficientcy in the fields of thin films, coatings and surface functionalization

    Optical systems to support the production of surfaces with advanced functionalities Enhanced product performance through fine surface functionalisation requires process control beyond standard metrological practice. One of the first steps to digitalisation and Industry 4.0, is inline monitoring using in-process sensors. In line with the progresses of photonic technologies, novel systems have proven effective for…

  • Sustainability of the developed solutions

    LCA/LCC RESULTS The OptiNanoPro project resulted in the development of several new products and technologies. They are all related to one or multiple global environmental topics, such as biobased materials, renewable energy production, waste reduction, and energy savings. But it’s not easy being green. Environmental issues are complex problems to solve: there are often many interrelating…
