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.

Do you also want to reduce shutdown times while saving costs without compromising safety ? Or do you want more efficient communication with your subcontractors or maintenance colleagues about what and where repairs need to be done ? Do you want to optimize the durability and lifespan of your installations ?

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.

Advanced inspection techniques and Remote visual inspection (RVI) techniques such as drones & robots produce a large amount of data. By creating a digital twin of your critical equipment, incorporating a digital inspection plan, enabling advanced & less intrusive inspection techniques Vinçotte changed the vision on testing and inspections.

Because of the Green Deal, more and more customers and governments will be asking for proof of how sustainable their activities are. And the ways in which you have to demonstrate this are increasingly set out in regulations. The European framework is also evolving for hydrogen.

Hydrogen, compared to natural gas, has a number of properties that make it more dangerous. So, a risk analysis is extremely important. Given the high risk, all scenarios where something can go wrong should be considered and covered.

Vinçotte supports companies in drawing up an environmental permit application and in preparing and elaborating studies preceding that application. These include an environmental safety report or supplementary environmental and safety studies.

After a break for obvious reasons, we are organising a new Industry Day this year where you can discover all the new NDT techniques.

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.
