Recently we were pleased to initiate the official kick-off of Project WoW, bringing together an ambitious consortium of partners including TU Delft, Do IoT Fieldlab, RoboHouse, TNO, SenseGlove, Mondai | House of AI, Highlight Delft, Perciv AI, Pythia Energy Intelligence, Comforest, EduvolutionX, BrainBite, and RadioSense.
The coming years Project WoW addresses key questions many SMEs face, such as: What do technologies such as Robotics, AI and Connectivity mean for my business?
By showcasing practical and relatable use cases, we help companies better understand the opportunities these technologies offer. We show that innovation isn’t just for large organisations… it’s within reach for businesses of every size. As part of this project, we will make technology visible in different sectors and stimulate collaboration between SMEs, fieldlabs and knowledge institutions. Both through demonstrators and events that connect businesses with our innovation ecosystem and expertise.
In line with the goals of the EFRO programme, Project WoW aims to strengthen collaboration, accelerate the adoption of innovation and contribute to sustainable economic growth across the region. We are excited to be part of that ambition!
We’ll be sharing updates, insights and opportunities from Project WoW soon, so stay tuned!
This project is enabled by the Kansen voor West programme (aimed at promoting the competitiveness of the Dutch Western region) and the European Union.
Are you an SME looking to innovate in digitalisation, sustainability, climate, or robotics? Then funding through the Kansen voor West III programme is your opportunity!
Insects in your greenhouse that don’t help your plants grow, but actually cause damage. This well-known issue in the greenhouse horticulture sector, is what the company PATS wants to address. In 2024, PATS decided to monitor insects in a working greenhouse and to target them specifically (together with Do IoT Fieldlab, TNO, MCS, Tomatoworld, and RoboHouse). That was the initial goal of the project. Two years later, we look back at this practical experiment, as part of the “Do IoT in greenhouse horticulture project”. How did they proceed, and were the goals achieved?
In April, the National Bee Count took place in the Netherlands: a timely reminder of the increasing pressure on bee populations.
coverage at sea
How can you best map network coverage above the North Sea? That’s the key question driving the work of start-up Drocean. They are working on a coverage map using professional drones. Over the past few months, they have been able to validate and further refine their concept with support from Do IoT Fieldlab. The outcome? They are now ready to create the coverage map.
Experimenting with satellite connectivity: a long-cherished wish that has finally become reality. We recently installed a Starlink dish at our facility, opening the door to new research and exploration. It allows us to investigate application performance, reliability and data routing.
With cutting edge technology, SenTech AI is developing a smart ring and bracelet that monitor your health. The devices are equipped with innovative sensors and AI technology. The real time data will be translated to early warning signs of fatigue and distress.
Within the Telegreen project, remote robot control is explored to reshape greenhouse horticulture for the better.
