Integraal Robotiseren
Many manufacturing companies, nationally and regionally, are currently taking steps towards (further) automation and robotization of production. But often companies don't know where to start.
Looking at current practice, so far mainly robot systems have been installed in factories, which are pre-programmed to do one 'trick'; systems that are good at one task.

About this project
Because relatively little is known about this, a large group of companies in the center and east of the country have formed a coalition and have taken the initiative to develop a roadmap for this. This is in line with the National Science Agenda – route Smart industry, which formulates it as follows: Error-free custom products in an edition of one for the price of a mass product. That is the dot on the horizon for the industry of the future0F1. The goal and focus are the same, but the needs of most SMEs are concrete, short-term and non-academic. This makes this project a much-needed addition for SMEs in the manufacturing industry. Initially, 6 clusters were identified based on the questions from the individual companies. Within the scope of this project, 4 clusters are being investigated and elaborated (see Figure 1 Coherence in the integral robotization project). This results in 8 concrete deliverables that SMEs can use to move forward.
