INCASE - A sharp overview of Industry 4.0 (*)

Do you want a more profound understanding of the impact of Industry 4.0 on your business? Then you should certainly explore the opportunities at Flanders Expo on the 14th of November.

A selection of the projects results in 3 parallel tracks (Robotics, Smart homes and Energy) will be presented by the participating academic institutions. After the presentations their will be a continuous demonstation of the INCASE technology projects.

Keynote speaker Filip Van den Abeele, head of science of the Flemish public radio and television and founder of Subseawill will share his vision on the revolution and how to deal with it.

After our successful conference day in 2018, with more than 130 participants, the

INCASE project would like to invite you on the 28th of May, 2019 to our next conference day on

“Networked Control & Automation 4.0”.

Just like last year, the conference day features a market place with 10+ stands of leading automation suppliers and 2 parallel tracks of lectures on state of the art technologies.

We totally renewed half of the program of last year, and updated a number of topics that are logically re-programmed. In this way, the conference day is interesting for both returning visitors (yes, you missed half of the lectures of last year!) and for people who sign up for the first time.

The first track is on “industrial data communication”, focusing on PROFINET industrial networks. Some highlights:

·        A detailed lecture on technologies emerging in industry the next years (TSN – Time Sensitive Networking – and 5 G) by Karsten Schneider (chairman of PI International)

·        A double lecture on “sporadic and not predictable network issues” with interesting use cases from German automobile manufacturers (Rene Heidl, Indu-Sol Germany)

·        Detailed updates on diagnostic tools for troubleshooting and preventive maintenance, redundancy, IO-Link technology, etc.

The second track is on “integrated design”, focusing on industrial applications of code generation from MATLAB-Simulink, co-simulation integrating CAD and system dynamics using Siemens NX, virtual commissioning, and digital twin technology. Technology is changing quickly in this track!

A slot of 3 lectures focuses on predictive analytics and anomaly detection:
a detection method based on the current signature of electrical rotating machines (Bram Corne, Orbits), an overview of methods for detecting anomalies and trends (Jan Verhasselt, Yazzoom), and overall implementation in edge or cloud computing.

The whole conference programme is free of charge. 
Registration is mandatory, see below.
Registrations close the 27th of May at 12 AM.

Practical: We start at 9 ‘o clock, but coffee will be served starting from 8 ‘o clock.
There is sufficient parking space on campus.

Presentations coming soon!

De workshop EMC & HFPQ geeft aan de hand van een industriële opstelling inzicht in de elektromagnetische aspecten van deze installatie. Via verschillende metingen worden de stoorstromen in de installatie in beeld gebracht. Aan de hand van diverse optimaliseringsmaatregelen worden, met behulp van vergelijkbare metingen, verbeteringen zichtbaar gemaakt.

Doelgroep / Doelstelling

Deze workshop is bedoeld voor de installatie-ingenieur, installateur, bordenbouwer, machinebouwer alsmede de onderhoudsmonteur uit de productie- en procesindustrie.

Smart technologies need both power and communication. Is combining power and data in one cable a feasible and robust solution for your application? In this half day of lectures, three technologies are discussed: Power-over-Ethernet (POE), Power Line Communication (PLC) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The basic ideas, needed technology and standardisation are explained.

Programme (English spoken)

12h30    Sandwiches

13h20    Introduction: The INCASE project  – Jos Knockaert – Professor UGent Campus Kortrijk

13h30    Ethernet: The physical layer explained – Frederic Depuydt – Project Engineer INCASE, KU Leuven Technologiecampus Gent

The visual components and basic properties of the 100BASE-TX physical layer for industrial use of wired ethernet, the “invisible” signal coding (4B/5B, scrambling, MLT3) and actual voltage signals on the copper wires, and a number of industrially relevant signal and packet measurement methods are explained. Actual measurements in PROFINET industrial networks illustrate the discussed signal properties and visualize the bits, bytes and messages.

14h00   Power over Ethernet: New features and capabilities – Joris Lemahieu – Application Engineer ON Semiconductor

Power over Ethernet (PoE) enables the delivery of power to IP network devices via existing Ethernet cables. The new 802.3bt standard increases the amount of power available for devices to 90W, enabling a myriad of new applications.

14h45    Break

15h15    Power Line Communications (PLC): From fundamentals to applications – Véronique Moeyaert – Professor Université de Mons – Faculté Polytechnique

The PLC field of telecommunication engineering is progressing towards maturity. This presentation proposes a review of fundamentals technologies and standards that enable its implementation. A survey of present and future applications is also presented.

16h00    Power Line communication from an EMC viewpoint – Jos Knockaert – Professor UGent Campus Kortrijk – Lemcko

PLC is both source and victim of electromagnetic interference. This lecture looks into the world EMC-standardisation related to both narrowband- and broadband-PLC.

16h30    Power and data in the wireless world – Franck Gaultier – R&D Project Manager CITC
