Technology is rapidly improving the way we work. Using augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality, Kiwa is taking big strides forward in the quality, accessibility, ease and efficiency of its services – not only in audits and monitoring, but also in education and training.

Air Liquide produces a wide range of gases for various industrial sectors such as the steel industry, the chemical industry, the food industry, etc.

There are few sectors where as many audits take place as in the pharmaceutical sector. This is also the case at Janssen with both internal and external audits. In fact, auditors are almost constantly present at the various sites. An audit often involves requesting inspection reports of assets and examining asset management processes. This is why Janssen decided to implement Vinçotte Digi-Tags.

This month marks 150 years since Vinçotte was officially founded...

Now that the Belgian competition authorities have given their approval, Vinçotte is officially part of the Kiwa group.

Today, it is estimated that close to 150 million tonnes of plastic are in the ocean. This number is only predicted to increase in the coming decades, even overtaking the biomass of fish by 2050. As plastic breaks down and penetrates living organisms, it disrupts their natural cycles… and also ends up on our plates.

As for the billions of tonnes of plastic remaining on land, a mere 7 to 10% are being recycled1. The rest ends up in massive landfills, pollutes the soils, or is burned – releasing dangerous toxins into the air and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing CO2 emissions is a challenge that we as humanity face. More and more companies are therefore taking necessary step towards "CO2 neutrality". In other words, they ensure that their CO2 emissions are calculated in a Carbon Footprint and reduced as much as possible until they are neutral. Read in this whitepaper how your company can take the step to become a CO2 Neutral company.

Vilvoorde, November 2018 - New technologies generate new opportunities. Vinçotte is also sailing along with the latest trends with the aim of making inspections Future Proof. We use tests to find out what the advantages of these technologies are and then convert them to improve current activities. For example, an innovation project with drones was recently launched for the thermographic inspection of high-voltage lines.
