Slimme producten met slimme data
|
Recente evoluties in internet- en sensortechnologieën creëren een nieuwe innovatie-opportuniteit voor bedrijven: innoveren met data. Data in al zijn vormen en soorten, gaande van nieuws (twitter en blogs) en persoonlijke informatie (facebook, linkedin) tot info over mobiliteit (railtime) of cartografische data (google maps).
Hoe spring je innovatief met deze overvloed van informatie om? Kan je door slimme combinaties van beschikbare databronnen nieuwe diensten creëren? Gebruikers helpen het overzicht in deze informatie-jungle behouden? Producten en diensten verrijken met externe databronnen? Beschikbare data als databron aanbieden aan derden?
In deze sessie getuigen 4 organisaties hoe zij de uitdaging van data-innovatie zijn aangegaan:

Slimme producten met slimme materialen
|
Smart is de nieuwe manier om met materialen te innoveren: slimme oppervlakken, intelligente materiaalkeuze, multifunctionele onderdelen, ...
Maar hoe maak je producten materialen smart? Hoe zorg je ervoor dat een product optimaal is afgestemd op zijn omgeving, door de gebruiker als aangenaam wordt gepercipieerd?
Innovate 2011 zal op een praktische en relevante manier inspiratie aanbieden, vertrekkend van vernieuwde materialen en concrete voorbeelden.

Smart Products by printing
by prof. dr. Van Parys, Sensortex/HoGent
Prof Van Parys will report about recent smart product democases using thermochrome and luminescent sensor inks. This resulted in fascinating new products like a baby suit that changes color (when wet), or a bikini that measures light intensity and indicates the amount of sun screen to apply to the skin.
