GEMIT - Hochschule Niederrhein

Project description

The DigiMach (Digital Machining) project addresses the uneven digitalisation and fragmentation of expertise in the mechanical engineering sector in the Meuse-Rhine region. With the departure of experienced specialists and dwindling skills, regional industries risk losing competitive advantages and crucial expertise. It aims to improve the digital skills of 150 SMEs through accessible tools, targeted training and support. 20 pilot projects will validate these solutions in real-life environments and increase efficiency for regional manufacturers. DigiMach pools expertise from Dutch, German, Flemish, Walloon and German-speaking East Belgian partners to tackle common challenges, strengthen competitiveness and counteract skills loss through knowledge transfer and upskilling.

DigiMach is funded by the Euregio Meuse-Rhine Interreg programme and has a budget of 3.66 million euros, 50% of which is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), with support from public and private partners. By integrating AI, IoT and robotics, the project improves data-driven decision-making, reduces costs and promotes sustainable growth under Specific Objective SO 1.i, focussing on innovation capacities and technology adoption. DigiMach's holistic approach includes needs analyses to tailor digital tools and training to the challenges of SMEs. A multilingual digital platform supports the cross-border exchange of knowledge, secures expertise and strengthens regional competitiveness.

Programme description

AUFBRUCH is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme that deals with central issues of a sustainable bioeconomy in the Rhenish mining area. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the challenges and potential of bioeconomic transformation processes through interdisciplinary research and to derive long-term impulses for application-orientated solutions.

The cluster pursues three overarching goals: the qualification of well-trained specialists who actively shape change in the region; the development of technological innovations that combine ecological and economic sustainability; and the promotion of entrepreneurial approaches from which sustainable start-up ideas can emerge.

The Hochschule Niederrhein has three departments working together on AUFBRUCH. Prof Dr Beckmann, who heads Innovation Area 5, Prof Dr Krehl and Prof Dr Bergstedt are involved. Doctoral students and supervisors from different disciplines work closely together to contribute to the bioeconomic transformation from different perspectives.

AUFBRUCH thus sees itself as a structurally effective element in the transformation process of the Rhenish mining area with the aim of creating scientifically sound and at the same time practice-relevant findings for a sustainable economy.

Description

The INDUSTR_I4.0 small project fund specifically supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the German-Dutch border region in order to drive forward the digital transformation in industry and the skilled trades sector. Unlike many programmes, INDUSTR_I4.0 is not aimed at technological pioneers, but at the broad mass of SMEs that have hardly benefited from Industry 4.0 technologies to date. Despite growing digital opportunities, according to Radboud University, only 15% of entrepreneurs utilise advanced technologies. Many digital developments remain isolated, with no connection to other solutions - a challenge that is causing smaller companies in particular to fall behind.

With a funding volume of 10 million euros, around 80 innovation projects and 80 feasibility studies are to be realised that focus on specific applications of digital technologies - such as AI to optimise products and business processes. The aim is to support up to 200 companies in their entry into the digital transformation. Close cooperation between German and Dutch partners is a prerequisite for this. The project is being carried out as part of the Interreg VI Germany-Netherlands programme and is co-financed by the EU and numerous regional ministries and provinces.

Project description

The InnoLoop project focuses on supra-regional technology transfer and thus sponsors innovation and digitalisation projects in SMEs as well as the qualification and know-how of employees in industry in the German-Dutch border region. It builds on the activities of the predecessor projects DigiPro, IPro-N and Digitrans, which created a bridge between German and Dutch stakeholders from 2017 to 2022 and established a network to support SMEs in the programme area in the development of digital innovations.

By building a shared knowledge base, InnoLoop promotes the innovation potential of all stakeholders involved in the transfer process and opens up new opportunities for value creation. The central instrument is German-Dutch model innovation projects focussing on high-tech technologies such as industrial robotics, artificial intelligence, IoT, additive manufacturing and virtual reality. In addition to technology development, the project partners benefit from intensive technical support in technology transfer. InnoLoop is also further developing a learning, cross-border innovation ecosystem that networks expertise and players on both sides of the border, synergistically integrates existing regional initiatives, networks and clusters and integrates all relevant sectors from research and development to industry. A web portal supports this process with practical information such as guidelines, tools and partner mediation.

Description of the project

Digitalisation is playing an increasingly important role in the agricultural and food sector. Some farms are already using digital applications to produce more sustainably and to a higher standard of quality and to organise work processes more efficiently. The "Sustainable Production of Healthy Food (SPoHF)" project was launched to specifically promote this change in the Euregio. Unlike many comparable initiatives, SPoHF focuses not only on economic efficiency and yield optimisation, but also on ecological aspects and improving product quality in terms of healthy nutrition.

The project focuses on fruit and vegetable cultivation, both in greenhouses and outdoors. To improve quality in a targeted manner, individual plants are monitored using digital twins, which enables both physical and digital control. Based on these twins and by using artificial intelligence, both the current condition of the plant and the potential effects of measures such as irrigation or lighting can be simulated, automatically suggested and monitored. In particular, energy-saving measures for humidity regulation, lighting, pest control and the more precise utilisation of weather data are being investigated. The effectiveness of these measures is verified by laboratory and on-site analyses of product samples. In this way, SPoHF enables more sustainable and targeted cultivation of healthy agricultural products.

Successful risk management in procurement: processes, trends and cultural change for future-proof supply chains

We are delighted that Professor Holger Beckmann (Head of GEMIT) and Thomas Waaden (Research Associate at GEMIT) have jointly published a book with a practical emphasis / orientation on the topic of "Risk Management in Procurement".

The book addresses key aspects: Process and strategy development in procurement, the cultural shift towards sustainable procurement, the role of technologies such as AI as well as specific case studies and tools.

The publication thus fits seamlessly into our research guidelines at the GEMIT Institute, in particular: Sustainability in Logistics and Supply Chain, Process Optimisation with IT as well as Innovation and Technology Management.

We cordially invite all interested parties to familiarise themselves with the book and enter into a dialogue with us!
