WeAddventures

Project in shortTo make Enschede more well known to the rest of the Netherlands, WeAddVentures is going to build a dome with 360 degree video projection. They are planning on building this dome on top of the old hospital or somewhere else in Enschede. The first step in this ambitious project has already been taken by having built a concept dome of 6 meters in diameter. In this concept dome we are testing which content works best for the full dome and whether or not the project is feasible. We are doing so via various research models and by making our own 360 degree concept documentary.

Challenges aheadIf the ‘mini’ dome is a success, WeAddventures is going to try to make a real dome which is going to be 20, 30 or 40 meters in diameter.

Project in shortWhat if our planet runs out on its valuable resources, and all the materials left on earth are waste? Are we still able to live a comfortable/pleasant life?

Circular Design is about creating an economy in which the producers and users will reuse, recycle and remanufacture materials as much as possible. The ultimate goal, is a completely circular economy.

Together with the Research Group Industrial Design and Leferink Office Works, one was aiming for the minimization of waste at Saxion by using discarded and broken furniture. The team was able to find the optimal way to reuse the materials in a specific and renewable matter. This will provide the client with an advice how to recycle, reuse and remanufacture the old furniture into a new product, with the main focus on a circular economy. The outcome is a suitable concept based on a prototype.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge one is facing regarding a circular economy, is to raise awareness of the society, since circularity is only possible if all the stakeholders are working together. Therefore, humans have to change their mindset and shift to a shared, circular economy to spread their knowledge and sources with the rest of the world.

“�DEVELOP�A�PORTABLE�BIOSENSOR�WHICH�CAN�INDICATE�THE�PRESENCE�OF��A�DRUG-RELATED�CHEMICAL��IN�THE�SEWER�SYSTEM.”

“�THE�BIGGEST�PROBLEM�IS�THE�SEWAGE�CONTAMINATION�OF�THE�WATER.”

Project in shortDrug waste discharges in the sewer becomes an increasing problem for sewage treatment plants. The sewage treatment in Baarle-Nassau in January 2017, for example, was closed all week because the supply was polluted by drug waste. The only way to prevent these drug waste discharges and the consequences that can occur is to combat drug-related crime. A way to achieve this, is through developing a simple and efficient method which can detect various drug waste compounds directly in the sewage. In this project a hydrogel based sensor is made and tested. The hydrogel is used as a carrier and a reagent is added to the hydrogel to cause a colour change when a certain drugs waste compound is present in the sewage. The aim of this project is to find a way to use hydrogels as an on- site detection method for drugs in water.

Challenges aheadIn this project we have already achieved a colour change in the hydrogel with Folin- Ciocalteu as the reagent and paracetamol as the analyte. The next challenges will be testing the reproducibility, reliability and the sensitivity of the sensor.

Project in shortThe release of drugs and drug-related chemicals into the sewer system is a colossal problem in the Netherlands. The toxic wastes are enormously harmful not only to the sewer system itself, but also have a tremendous effect on the environment. Our water purification systems are not able to filter out all of the toxic waste.

The aim of this project is to develop a portable biosensor which can indicate the presence of a drug-related chemical in the sewer system.

The biosensor should be able to detect low concentrations of the specific substance (substance A) in the sewer system. The working of this portable biosensor is based on a reaction that occurs with substance A and substance B. This reaction can be measured using a spectrophotometer.

Challenges aheadIn order to make our biosensor portable there is an need for technical and electrical engineering. So for a following project we recommend that technical and electrical engineering students will work on this.

Project in shortCurious Inc is collecting kilometers from professional drivers (taxi drivers, bus drivers and drivers from construction firms). When coaching people Curious Inc. believes there are 3 components to consider: knowledge, attitude and behavior. They think there might be a relation between personality and driving behavior. Because the drivers are getting positive feedback by the gamification their driving behavior will be improved.

Challenges ahead• How to motivate drivers to use the gamification • How to keep the drivers motivated for using

the gamification • A prototype

The Smart Functional Materials Group (SFM)

Project in shortOur project, textile as construction material for interior walls, is in collaboration with BouwTex from the Smart Functional Materials Research Group (SFM). During this project we are searching for materials and construction techniques that are suitable for building an office room divider. Ideally, the wall is made from 100% textiles and is easily removeable when needed after 5 to 10 years. In the Netherlands there are several old, vacant buildings. With the aid of office room dividers they can be transformed into offices. Furthermore, there is the need for an alternative to the conventional materials used for walls. The huge masses of post-consumer textile waste are going to be the source for the development of a sustainable and functional office room divider.

Challenges aheadWe are in the design phase of our project. The challenge ahead is to build a construction with special regards to its geometry as the goal is to build a stable frame for an office room divider with as little material as possible. This frame will be made from polyester post-consumer waste.

Project in shortWe needed to research where the television is positioned, in about five years from now. This includes researching and identifying our target groups behavioural patterns, usage of their tv and where the tv is positioned in their homes. From here on we can determine what the wall mount of the future will be, based on the results of our research. But will it be attached to the wall? That is what we have to find out; prepare to be amazed!

Research Group Smart Cities

Project in shortLet’s Participate has the goal to collect interesting data from the residents and visitors of the city centre of Enschede. Every year surveys are distributed by people in the city centre to see how the people experience the city. These surveys are long and tedious that is why the lectorate “Smart Cities” wants to create a new interactive, innovative way to collect the data about the city centre.

One of the most difficult things, and therefore one of the most interesting things to measure, is the experience of the city centre. That’s why Let’s Participate wants to focus on what experience is and how to measure that in the city centre.

Challenges aheadIn this project we have a lot of questions to answer like: what does experience mean and how can we measure that in an innovative way? We will work with technology we have never used before, so we have to figure out how to use it in a reliable way.


“PREPARETOBEAMAZED!”

Challenges aheadRight now we are designing a new (wall) mount based on the outcomes of the research. Besides that we are doing multiple tests to develop the concept. At the end we hope to have a prototype of the product to show you all at the festival.

“THEAPPSHOULDMAKETHEMMOREAWAREOFWHEREANDHOWTHEYAREUSINGENERGY.”

Project in shortDespite a surplus in the Netherlands, phosphorus globally it is not generally available. In this project we try to produce a concentrated phosphorus product for export. By means of composting the phosphorus concentration in the product increases as aerobic micro-organisms consume the organic matter to produce CO2 and heat, which results in the evaporation of water. Usually the composting process is a static batch process with continuous aeration, so the process control is poor. The current project aims at an innovative composting process by using a series of rotating drum bioreactors. Each reactor will be designed/operated for the optimal conversion of a specific substrate. The design of the bioreactor tunnel depends on many parameters, e.g., fluid or granular flow, heat generation/distribution, etc. The operation of the reactor can be improved for optimal conditions for the micro-organisms, like: temperature, pH, relative humidity and mixing intensity.

Project in shortUsing a multitude of sensors collecting data in and around a house we’re going to try to achieve true energy-efficiency by displaying data through an app and making analyses surrounding the structure of the house. The app that presents the data to the inhabitants should make them more aware of where and how they are using energy. The analysis should reveal possible design flaws in the structure. Furthermore we’re implementing a weather station so our client can gain insight on how the climate effects the energy that is being spend.

Challenges aheadIn the upcoming runs of the project, teams will have to actually make the inhabitants listen to the energy-saving-suggestions of the app, and figure out what improvements could be made to the structure of the house.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge is to get to know if it is possible to concentrate the phosphorus with a bioreactor, in the way it is still attractive for the farmer to use.

Project in shortGlobal warming is a big problem at the moment. Because of this, many countries, including the Netherlands, signed the Paris agreement. This includes reducing, and in the future stopping, the usage of natural gas. To reach the goals of the Paris agreement, natural gas needs to be replaced with sustainable heat solutions, like a heat pump or district heating.

In this project, a tool for sustainable heat solutions will be developed. This tool will deliver an appropriate, natural gas free, heat solution for different kinds of costumers. Solutions for a single house, district of houses, fabrics, utility buildings and farmers can be provided.

Challenges aheadThe tool needs to be future proof. So, when prices of heat solutions change, or a new heat solution is developed this needs to be implemented in the tool. A way to easily implement this in the program have to be developed.

Project in shortDuring this project, a solar powered woven window blind is developed in cooperation with research group Smart Functional Materials and Artex B.V. This product will harvest extra energy for households in a sustainable way. There are already a few prototypes made in previous projects, these prototypes were not professional enough because companies couldn’t use them right away. During the Smart Solution Festival, this project group will offer visitors and companies a working prototype of an innovative window blind, which can be implemented directly in the textile industry.

Challenges aheadFor the next projectteam who will work on this Solar Powered Woven Window Blind, there could be focused more on the electrical part. It is an idea to put more than one electrical student in this project to develop a bigger and better system.

“WEWANTTOIMPROVETHETHERMALINSULATIONOFRESIDENTIALTERRACEHOUSESFROM1946TO1964BYUSINGTEXTILEMATERIALS.”

Project in shortThe sustainable renovation of existing buildings in The Netherlands is crucial to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thereby to limit global warming. Whereas renovation measures with traditional building material are irreversible and very material intensive the potential application of textile as building material is reversible and flexible. The aim of the project is to develop innovative fassade elements which improve thermal insulation and are resistant to UV and fire. The target group are residents of residential terrace houses, build between 1946 and 1964. Furthermore the project considers a selection of durable raw materials and pursues the product to be long-lasting and re-usable.

Challenges ahead• Researching the standards and most crucial information for construction and

textile materials• Testing textile materials under construction standards• Creating a prototype-solution

Project in shortWe are group 153 and we are working on the project Tex Energy- development of a smart wall. In our group we have five students. Two of us follow the course F&TT and the other three are following the LED Engineering. As part of a recent cooperation of the research group Smart functional materials with the company Low&Bonar we are part of developing a smart wall. The company’s mission is that their product delivers the best performance to improve our everyday life. Aiming to improve customers everyday life Low&Bonar together with the smart functional materials research group want to develop a Smart wall which sources energy through solar cells by day and uses this energy to light up LED during the night. This small wall is made out of a polyester fabric which is pvc coated. The solar cells should be removable so that the customers can easily exchange them if a defect occurs.

Saxion ACT academy

Project in shortOur dream is to create a spot where ACT students can work together to change ACT into a 100% environmentally aware academy. This dream consists of changing the environment in a positive way, raising awareness among ACT students and motivating them to work together with us.

Communication, education, food, waste, energy and environment are some of the subjects we want to improve within ACT. The spot will offer projects, inspiration and information to work towards a 100% environmentally aware academy.

To achieve this dream, we need to come up with a good concept. That’s why we want to create a 360-degree photo/video for the Smart Solutions Festival, to show what’s possible with a physical spot.

Challenges aheadNext to the 360-degree video, it’s also a challenge to make a guideline and a good corporate identity to work towards creating the physical spot.


“WEWANTTORESEARCHHOWAIRQUALITYAFFECTSSTUDENTSATSAXIONANDINDAILYLIFE.”

Project in shortFor our project (Wearables II) we want to research how air quality affects students at Saxion and in daily life. The goal of our project is to collect as much data as possible about the quality of the environment and the wellbeing of the students. We want to test this with our new device and improved application.

This device will contain a microcontroller and multiple sensors which measures air properties. This data will then be transferred via Bluetooth to your Android device, containing an application that will occasionally prompt questions about the current wellbeing and surrounding of the user.

Challenges aheadThe challenges ahead towards finishing the project are for example: improving the application, because it needs to be further optimized. Another challenge is that we want a faster responding time and a more accurate device. To achieve this we need to do a lot of research and put in a lot of hours.

Project in shortWe live in a world where sustainability plays an increasingly important role in our lives, and we are also becoming more and more aware of this. Yet it is striking that this battle is still little visible in the industry. Too many industrial buildings still consume too much energy and this must be tackled, accord-ing to the Province of Overijssel.

Team 181 has worked very hard over the last months to enthuse as many industrial building owners as possible to become more energy-efficient, or even go net-zero. In short, net-zero means that buildings consume as much energy as generating.

The specially designed website (DOIO.nl) shows examples of business premises that have already been preserved. In addition, the technical aspects are discussed and interested parties can measure their energy consumption with the self-made energy checker.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge is to introduce more industrial building owners to DOIO.nl. This can be done by add-ing even more interesting and attractive content. Owners will then be triggered not only to renovate the building for a better look, but also for sustainability!

Project in shortHave you ever seen innovation, functionality, sustainability and cuteness combined together? Well, there is a first time for everything! Research group NOMISO designed a Smart Tiny Lab where testing and real-life situations come together, this being inspired with concepts of tiny homes.

Together with the lectorate sustainable building technology and material, the research group developed a concept to ensure a realisation of the Smart Tiny Lab in Spring 2019. This will allow accurate measurements of results in regards to cost-efficiency, energy-efficiency and reactions to environmental surroundings. Based on the needs of the partner companies and a multi-criteria analysis, NOMISO developed a BIM model where detailing of the preferred materials, chosen construction methods and used systems are displayed.

The research group stands for teamwork and solidarity. Together we are proud of our research and we are happy that despite our different educational backgrounds, we managed to come up with an end-product.

Challenges aheadThe challenge for NOMISO is adjusting the plan of requirements, based on the wishes and desires of the client. After that, the group can establish several concept designs and therefore a BIM model will be created in conjunction with a financial plan.

Project in shortCities and Hassles is a city-builder game with the goal of spreading awareness about Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) through smart city planning. Key examples of these diseases are cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases. The common theme among these diseases is that they are partially caused by bad city planning. Bad city planning also affects the environment and lifestyle of the population.

By presenting the consequences of choices made in the game, we can reinforce the player to plan their city better, thus creating a healthier city. One factor the player has control over is air pollution, which is affected by the placement of certain buildings.

“BYPRESENTINGTHECONSEQUENCESOFCHOICESMADEINTHEGAME,WECANREINFORCETHEPLAYERTOPLANTHEIRCITYBETTER.”

Project in shortRegional Develepmont is about doing two different projects in one semester. One in South Africa and the other one in region Twente, The Netherlands. The focus during the project will be on what is helpful to create an attractive living environment and prosperity in regions as Twente, Ritchie. The students went for 5 weeks to South Africa, located in Ritchie with the non-profit organisation Eye For Others. The group students researched different aspects of the community in Ritchie, like Health Care, Crime, Business and Recycling. The project in region Twente is about researching why internationals not stay for living and work after they finished a study at the University of Twente or Saxion.

Challenges aheadThe project will challenge you to get out of your comfort zone, and it is a challenge to work on two projects at the same time. It is also a challenge to work with people from another culture.

“STRESSNOTONLYAFFECTSOURWELL-BEINGBUTCANALSORESTRAINWORKPERFORMANCE.”

Project in shortIn recent years, we, the project team, have learned a lot about sustainability. Nevertheless, we all rarely buy sustainable products. A big factor is that ‘sustainability’ is a word that is used a lot and has become an overwhelming concept. How can we ensure that this becomes a more tangible concept and that consumers can make their choices easier? What is the role of the consumer and what is the role of the producer? What must be our common goal?

Throughout this project we hope to make people aware of their choices. We want do this by showing a more accessible way of choosing. The idea is to make a double-sided dress to make people aware about their choices. The goal of this dress is to show consumers that the dress looks the same, but that the consumer has the choice between a dress with or without bad effects on the environment.

Challenges aheadWe currently have a lot of good data at our disposal. It is currently a big challenge to convert it into a final product, so that our goal can be achieved: making consumers more aware about the fashion industry.

Project in shortThe aim of our project is creating a dress with massage features in order to treat tension on the stress points of the body and create a feeling of well-being. Designwise the goal is to create a simple, timeless dress made of Smart Textiles. The reason for this is a growing population that suffers from stress-related physical complaints. Stress not only affects our well-being but can also restrain work performance.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge is to implement the right device or actuator into the most suitable material. Next to that we have to find out which techniques and points of the body are stress relieving and create a feeling of well-being.

“ISITPOSSIBLETOCHANGEAPRODUCTTHATCONTRIBUTESTOENVIRONMENTALPOLLUTIONINTOSOMETHINGTHATTEAMSUPWITHNATURE?”

Project in shortBecause of the success with Kickstarter, SEA’SONS had to evolve quickly. This has caused that SEA’SONS is missing the corporate identity. Every company has its own story, which is for instance told by its mission, vision and branding. The last few weeks we have helped SEA’SONS developing the brand and its story. The developed logo and corporate identity are going to be implemented in the visual expressions and the website has had a total make-over. All the other components of the research are given to SEA’SONS as a recommendation in form of a business plan and are based on results of a focus group, some surveys and several tools, like the DESTEP-method and the Ansoff matrix. Also, we’ve focused on the value proposition between the customer and the current product. Our mission is to amaze our customers with outstanding products and services to provide a feeling of great surprise and wonder.

Challenges aheadThe main challenge is to lay the basis for SEA’SONS, which is going to be applied immediately after this project.

Project in shortFleece Afterlife is the sequel to the Fashion Machine project of Conny Groenewegen. In 2017, she covered the Mediamatic building in Amsterdam in knitted fleece made from recycled PET, to address the waste problem of the fashion industry. Today, we revive this fleece material. Our purpose is to find a way to turn the post-consumer, low-valued and polluting fleece into a new product, using an organic ingredient: fungi. Is it possible to change a product that contributes to environmental pollution, through the release of microplastics and its low consumer value, into something that teams up with nature?

First, the knitted fleece is recycled mechanically at innovation centre Texperium in order to create an open structure. This provides access to the fungi to colonize the fleece material and use it as an energy source. In this afterlife, the fleece and fungi collaborate to form a strong web of a yet to define material.

Challenges aheadHands-on experimenting is needed to be able to produce the right web of material. How refined should the structure of the fleece be? What kind of fungi will actually colonize the fleece? And, will our man-made world and current industry be ready for this new material?

Project in shortThe goal of this project is to integrate electronics into textiles in a way that the textile is durable and can conduct electricity. Our group, a team of 5 F&TT students had to gain knowledge about electrical engineering first, before starting procedure of the project. The electric circuit was created by using different methods. The first experiments were done by using conductive thread and fabric, conductive ink, conductive copper tape, and laser cutting. Different designs of circuits were created to find the most compact prototype. The final goal of the project is, to find a proper solution to create a durable, washable and bendable way to integrate electronics into textiles.

Challenges aheadThe challenge is to make the textile water repellent and durable. The conductivity is still a challenge due to the loss and other problems occurring the design and further integration during the process.

Project in shortHow do you make politics interesting, we asked ourselves. The answer: an interactive series about politics. We want to combine the Netflix experience with an educational storyline about politics. This can be watched on a special mobile website we made for the series.

Our goal is to get more people from the ages of 18 to 25 to vote. With choices that determine your personal story we want to make people aware of the influence that their vote could have. To increase that feeling we will also film from the viewer’s point of view.

For our client we want to shoot the first episode and deliver the script of the first season. As an extra experience we are building an interactive installation that will show short scenes with the same purpose as the series.

Challenges aheadShooting the first episode and make a plan for the regional, national and European elections. We also want to build an interactive installation that can be placed everywhere.

Project in shortThis project is all about the future of retail in small villages (less than 5000 residents). What is the retail landscape going to look like in the near future? How are shops going to be able to survive during these times of constant change? To answer these questions, a lot of research is done. Based on the results of this research, the group has come up with a futuristic design of what the shopping world in small area’s will look like. This process will be documented on video and displayed in a mini-documentary. Followed by an animation of what it could possibly look like in the future.

Challenges aheadIt still is a huge challenge, to find the perfect way for small shopping areas to stay relevant during the big changes that will be coming in the future.

Project in shortA future where short food chains are the norm. where farmers get normal prices for their food and where it is rewarded to have a lower impact environmental impact on the earth. Henk Willem has a vision where this can be realised by implementing short food chains, where farmers deliver directly to the customer. So that they aren’t depended on big supermarket or companies. This way that can make their products better and more organic.

Challenges aheadHenk Willem gave us the task to help realise a distribution centre where the products of farmers can get shipped. Part of this task was to design an app where deliverers can have easy access to route’s the need to drive and to make a business model canvas.

Sheltersuit Foundation

Project in shortAs an interdisciplinary team of eight students, we combine our expertises from different study backgrounds to present a ‘smart solution’ for Sheltersuit. Sheltersuit is a foundation that is based in Enschede and has developed a product called Sheltersuit, which is a water- and windproof coat that can be transformed into a sleeping bag special made for refugees and homeless people. Their belief is that everyone at all times deserves protection, dignity and warmth, and that’s why they share as many Sheltersuits as possible for free, for the people who need them. The production of the suits costs money, while their income is mainly depending on donations. In order to keep Sheltersuit continuing to do its good work, the foundation has to generate money from other sources as well: by selling products with the label Sheltersuit and transform the foundation into a social enterprise.

Challenges aheadTo find a solution for this problem we are doing research on product, business and marketing level. At first, we have to find a suitable and cost-effective business model in which Sheltersuit can generate regular income. This will be achieved by introducing a new product with a suitable marketing plan.

Project in shortThis project is about using AR elements in the healthcare industry. How wonderful will it be if we can develop a concept that helps children in hospital to decrease stress? During the brainstorm sessions we came up with a wonderful plan to make an AR-children book. By using the goggles of Aryzon, the children can solve mysteries and meet new characters in augmented reality. The reason why we want to do this in AR is because we want to show the children that the hospital environment isn’t that scary at all. This is a fantastic way to make the hospital stay for kids more bearable.

Challenges aheadCurrently we’re trying to figure out more about storytelling for children’s books. The next phase is to develop the characters and after that there will be time to make a promotion video for our concept.

Project in shortThis project is about developing a communication tool for a small housing and care centre for people who have been diagnosed with the disease dementia. The organisation is called Herbergier de Maashorst. The aim of the project is to develop a tool that makes communication attractive for (grand-)children. For the well-being of the residents it is important that they keep in touch with their family and loved ones.

With this communication tool, the current problem concerning the communication between the family and residents of this small housing and care centre will be fixed. Because there will be an easier way to communicate with each other, and loneliness won’t be a problem anymore.

Challenges aheadIt will be a challenge to develop a tool that is suitable for everybody with dementia. This because every individual is different and there are many stages of dementia, which make it a challenge to create a communication tool.

Project in shortIt is 2040. The world has changed. The Paris Climate agreement has failed. Nowadays, the KNMI measures an increase of 3 to 4 degrees in the last 20 years in De Bilt, the Netherlands. This increase affects rising health issues such as heat stress. Heat stress is overheating and dehydration of the body, it is known as a silent killer. Until now, the governments were not able to make a change in the industries to decrease CO2 emissions and therefore global warming. About 20 years ago, consumers should have been more aware of the future changes so they could have taken the effects of rising temperatures more seriously and thereof taken action to slow down global warming.

By making a warning garment we want to alarm people to change the way we consume, before it is too late.

Challenges aheadFiguring out how we can really get to the people and get them to understand that changes need to be made right now and not in a few years.

#Locked2 - Do you have the key?


“OURBIGGESTCHALLENGEISTOTEACHTHEHEALTHCAREPROFESSIONALHOWTOCONTROLZORA.”

“FEELASBEAUTIFULANDFEMININEASPOSSIBLE.”

Project in shortHave you ever had that insecure feeling? When going out in a beautiful dress but an uncomfortable vibe of people looking at you lingers? Do you recognise the feeling of being unsafe in a public place?

We want to take away the unsafe feeling and make you feel as beautiful and feminine as possible while wearing a dress.

We’re diving into the #MeToo movement. The idea is to create a dress that contributes special gadgets so that the women will feel protected from sexual harassment. The special gadgets contain an alarm, GPS tracker and a zipper which can be locked by a key that only the consumer owns. Therefore, the dress will be made out of a special fabric with properties that can resist knife cuts. These features will be incorporated without being visible, allowing woman to wear a beautiful dress that protects them without people being able to see it.

Challenges aheadOur upcoming tasks are making the GPS and alarm work together on the Lilypad; a button will be created with codes on the Arduino that the alarm will immediately go off and the location will be send towards the people that the consumer has put in the application.

Project in shortDimence offers treatment to elderly with psychological problems. They want their patients to feel comfortable, be able to get in contact with others and have meaningful daytime activities. The costs of healthcare are under pressure, employees in the clinic cannot always fulfill the needs on the patients. We want to investigate how the use of a robot could help with this.

Therefore a Zora has been purchased, which we will examine and introduce in the short-term admission clinic. We will investigate what is necessary for a good cooperation between humans and Zora and what the effect is of a social robot on elderly people with a mental illness.

Challenges aheadOur biggest challenge is to teach the health care professional how to control Zora. And make sure that it gets used every day even when we are not present.

Project in shortThe assignment is to design a “social hut”, which invites users to interact with other users through the platform. This “social hut” is a hut on the uninhabited island of the gamification layer “Stranded!”, which links to a stand-alone application/web page where elderly can find things which will stimulate social interaction. The goal of the social hut is that elderly people are stimulated to have more social interactions. The final goal for this assignment is to design a stand-alone web application that can be integrated with the gamification layer “Stranded!”, which will stimulate (pre-frail) elderly using the gamification layer to be socially active and have social interaction through the platform.

Challenges aheadThe goal of this research is to find out how we can design a web application that will stimulate (pre-frail) elderly using the gamification layer to be socially active and have social interaction through the platform.

Project in shortA great number of elderly patients are undergoing a total hip replacement resulting in recovery periods that last for approximately a year. During a recovery period there are different influences that can affect the recovery speed. The aim of this project is to research the influences of external factors on the recovery and regeneration of skeletal muscle after a total hip replacement, with the focus on the elderly patients (65+). Research will be done by studying an in vitro model of C2C12 myoblasts. These muscle cells will be mechanically damaged and their recovery process is monitored. Furthermore, knowledge on the recovery process in the human body will be extended by literature studies and clinical expertise interviews with for example orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, dietitians and nurses. In the end, an advising conclusion will be made, intended to be used in the rehabilitation of patients after a total hip replacement.

Challenges aheadChallenges ahead are interpreting the different results from the nurses and biology/chemistry studies and combining them to an advising conclusion.

Syncom B.V.

Project in shortPolyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is polyester produced in nature by bacteria. PHA has the potential to replace non-biodegradable plastics. Syncom is a global leader in providing the pharmaceutical and biotech industries with custom synthesis solutions. Syncom wants to synthesize different derivatives of PHA to gain a lead in the market. To develop these new organic compounds a series of experiments must be conducted. The different steps within the synthetic route can be conducted in many different ways. This project researches the best ways to conduct these pathways with the purest and highest yielding experiments. The goal of this project is to form an ester bond between two poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (R3HB) which is a derivative from PHA. Products are qualified and quantified using GC-MS and H-NMR.

Challenges aheadSynthesizing the ester is not the only challenge. After the method proved to be successful the route is upscaled to synthesis a requested amount of 2 gram ester with a purity of 95% or higher.

Project in shortOsteoarthritis (OA) is an inflammatory disease which occurs in the hands, hips, and knees and can cause problems with daily tasks. OA is nowadays often diagnosed when patients are suffering from a bone fracture using the X-ray photography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At this stage the disease will have developed to the point where bone mass, muscle, and cartilage are irreversibly lost. Sometimes a new knee or hip is needed or patients even end up in a wheelchair.

SPRi and ELISA can be applied to measure cytokines at very low concentrations. Measuring concentration levels of multiple cytokines associated with OA may provide an early indication of disease pathogenesis. To be able to detect extremely low concentrations nanoparticle enhancers are applied to the cytokine sandwich.

The different goals are:• Analyze the market potential. • Expand the biomarker panel of the assay. • Level up the sensitivity of the assay.

Gelre Ziekenhuizen in Apeldoorn

Project in shortThe goal of this project was to research how elderly patients can be motivated to move more during a hospital stay. Older patients spend 90% of the day in bed or on a chair during a hospital stay This was done by mapping possible motivating interventions to increase activity. We interviewed patients over the age of 70 who had been hospitalized at Gelre Ziekenhuizen in Apeldoorn. The interview data showed our project team which interventions motivate patients to be (more) physically active.

Challenges aheadWe advise the next project team to implement the most motivating intervention from our survey in Gelre ziekenhuizen. Prior to this, a baseline measurement needs to be carried out. After implementation, the project team should be able to tell which changes have occurred regarding physical activity in patients.

Project in shortMedisch Spectrum Twente (MST) would like to find a way to make in-house training for their nursing staff more fun and therefore more appealing. Our challenge is to develop a prototype that increases the intrinsic motivation of nurses from the clinical departments. In order to achieve this, we are developing gamified e-learning: we are making learning fun.

The nurses have to keep up their knowledge on a set of safety-related subjects. Our ‘game’ is composed of different cases, in which nurses can practice or ‘nurse their knowledge’ on these subjects. To increase motivation we added several gamification elements, such as a reward system, direct feedback and a storyline in which the user has a meaning and purpose. To do this, we are constantly involving the users (nurses) to create an end product that is usable, attractive and based on realistic and tested scenarios.

Challenges aheadWithout the help of IT-students or game developers, we are creating gamified e-learning that looks and feels like a real game. The real challenge we are facing is to increase the intrinsic motivation of graduated nurses from the clinical departments of MedST with the learning tool we are developing.

Project in shortWithin today’s society there is a growing feeling of unsafety, and with this project we look for new solutions to enhance and protect the safe feeling of all people in society using the power of smart materials combined with a creative business concept. During our research we found out that young women are the most vulnerable target group, so we decided to focus on them.

How many women do you think, feel unsafe in public places? We asked 100 women, and 80 of them feel unsafe in public, especially at night. What do you think they use to feel safer? Knives, stun guns and pepper spray are just some of things they use. However, we want to come up with a legal and nonviolent alternative for those women.

Challenges aheadWe want to create a product that is safe, cheap and subtle. We are striving to develop an ‘it-item’ that everybody wants. For us, this is a challenge we are willing to accept.

Challenges aheadOur challenges are planning and executing the brainstorming sessions with the medical specialists and other stakeholders to generate input for the roadmap. After that, we’ll need to analyse all the information and process it into the roadmap. Finally, we must finish writing our paper with the corresponding literature we’ve found.

Project in shortWe, the 3S-group, have been commissioned to create a Roadmap for our external partner Medisch Spectrum Twente. This Roadmap will contain information about the State of the Art on 3D Technology and will contain input from specific and relevant cases brought to us by involved medical specialist, for example orthopaedics, traumatology, Maxillofacial surgery, head & neck oncology and plastic surgery. These cases can be problem-driven or innovation-driven and will form the base of the roadmap. We will be researching what is required and what needs to change to successfully implement a certain 3D application within the current workflow. For instance, the finances, staff training and available (availability of) technology within the MST-environment. The roadmap will be presented to the relevant stakeholders: the medical specialist, the medical technology department at MST and the lectorate Industrial Design. We strive to provide insights and to inform the interested professionals through the roadmap.

Project in shortThe initiative Vitaal Geesteren is working at health promotion among their citizens. They are looking at four different stages.

1. Increasing the level of knowledge among our citizens of what is a healthy lifestyle. For this we are organizing a health festival.

2. Offering self-checks to get insight into your own health. This is foreseen to be mainly done by digital checks.

3. Introducing technological solutions for people to use for health promotion by themselves or in groups. For this we foresee a kind of physical place where people can ask questions about technology for instance their smartphone and Facebook to get them more acquainted with technology but also serves as demonstration environment where new possibilities are shown (not in a static way but as a kind of event carrousel).

4. Giving citizens insight in current health promotion solutions which they can use to promote health and adapt the offer in case there are short comings

Challenges aheadWe have now answered all of the questions in our research plan. The next step is to think about a concept that will provide in the wishes of our client. We have to make sure that this concept will do what it has to do.

Project in shortOur goal in this project is to make a game that will help kids with DCD in their daily activities. This is because children with DCD lag behind in the development of motor skills and have difficulty in coordinating the movements, so they can perform tasks less easily than other children.

We want the game to be not only helpful but also really fun to play. That is why we have linked a reward system to the game. When the child has completed an exercise he or she can earn stars. The game should not feel like an obligation, but as a memory aid and tool in a fun way.

Our goal is to make the kids feel safe and involved in the game. We want them to look up to the characters in the game and listen to them. We also want to involve the parents in the game.

Project in shortIn this program we try to improve the communication between the staff members of Mediant and their clients. The clients of Mediant are in need of mental healthcare because they suffer from psychosis. Because of the psychosis and the medicines they’re given to control their mental health, the clients can’t express themselves properly. It’s up to us, students from Saxion, to develop a certain tool or application. This development should help the staff members of Mediant discover how the clients really feel so they can give their clients the help that’s needed. In this way the clients can recover in the best way possible.

Challenges aheadWe want to develop a tool that helps Mediant in the best way possible, but is also original and creative. We don’t want to go for the easiest option but for one that helps Mediant and challenges us as a group to dig deep and create something new.

Challenges aheadWe deliver a prototype that can be further developed into an app so that it can really be used in the daily life of children with DCD under the guidance of their parents.

Project in shortSupreme healthcare costs is an enormous complication and health insurance companies are dealing with it. They want to find a solution and that’s the main objective within our project. They asked us to create a digital solution to ultimately decrease the healthcare costs. The focus is on the organization GGZ; this is a mental health care organization. This project consists first of desk- and fieldresearch, and eventually the creation of an application, named MindMirror. This app includes different ways to help students with mental problems. The app offers tips and data for these students that start out with stress or feeling pressure during their study. The goal of this app is for students to use it whenever they feel stressed or feeling a lot of pressure. We hope this app prevents students from developing serious mental health problems, so they won’t need further healthcare.

Challenges aheadPreventing the physical problems students mostly deal with, and ultimately we want to reduce health care costs.

Project in shortIntimacy and sexuality are important aspects of the life in older persons, but this is often forgotten once they enter a nursing home. They enter a world without twin beds and with less privacy, with nursing staff coming in and out as they please. One problem is that communication about intimacy and sexuality is not part of routine practice in nursing homes. 59% of health care professionals find it difficult to deal with sexual behavior of nursing home residents. The lack of intimacy and sexuality can decrease the quality of the elderly life. This smart solutions project needs to design/compose a tool that helps the communication between the nurse and elderly on behalf of the subjects intimacy and sexuality.

Challenges aheadThere are no certain guide lines in a nursing home on behalf of intimacy and sexuality. Therefore a big part of breaking the taboo is that no one feels responsible to start the conversation. This In combination with the elderly from a different generation, where talking about sexual subjects is uncomfortable, makes the project challenging.

Project in shortFor our Smart Solutions Semester, our goal is to make nursing students aware of the intimate and sexual needs of the patients in our healthcare system. Intimacy and sexuality is often not a subject discussed between healthcare professional and patient, even though our patients definitely have unanswered questions related to their sexuality after they have fallen ill. They have a need to talk about their loneliness after their partner passes away, they want to have a feeling of being heard and being seen. In the end of this project, our goal is to create a product so students are more aware about the subject.

Challenges aheadOur challenge is going to be the testing phase. In the end we would like to create a product that improves awareness. After our research, we would like to have more insight in products that could help create this awareness. Also, we’ll test a few of these products to see which work best.

Project in shortHospitals are under constant risk of HAIs (hospital acquired infections) outbreak due to the conditions that facilitate the transmission of organisms. Fortunately, advances in antimicrobial technology are providing hospital administrators, doctors, and health care sector suppliers with new opportunities to reduce the seemingly intractable HAI rate. Due to the high percentage of sick people in hospital and healthcare houses microbes, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, can be found in the hospital wards. Hospitals are using a lot of textile materials, where bacteria can grow on.

Kettelhack, a company in Germany, adds a crosslinked layer of quaternary ammonium compounds which they can apply on textiles already. The QACs suppress the growth of a wide range of microorganisms on cotton and polyester/cotton fibres.

Challenges aheadThe aim of this research is to compare antibacterial textiles with textiles already used in the healthcare sector. To demonstrate that the use of antibacterial textiles does result in a lowering of the amount of contamination in a typical hospital setting.

Project in shortObesity has recently become a leading cause of death among adults and children worldwide. Fortunately, obesity is preventable and reversible by changing diet and life style. For example, probiotics can be taken as supplements to reduce appetite and hence fight obesity. Probiotics are defined as living bacteria that have a beneficial effect on the digestive system and the gut microbiota. As a probiotic, Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria is used in this project. These bacteria can produce Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) which in turn stimulate the gut cells to express more GLP-1 and PYY hormones. These anorexigenic hormones reduce appetite. To stimulate the bacteria to produce more SCFAs, prebiotics (fibres) are used.

A Caco-2 cell line, which is derived from the large intestine, is used to mimic the gut cells. The stimulation of the cells takes place in a transwell and on a chip, this to simulate the body environment.

Challenges aheadOptimizing the detection of the produced SCFAs on HPLC. A big challenge that has yet to come is to mimic the in vivo environment of the human body on a chip.

Project in shortWithin this project we wanted to unravel the metabolic pathways involved in breast cancer progression performed on a chip. We will be informed about the challenges and opportunities of implementing lab-on-a-chip technology in the current breast cancer treatment regime by visiting and interviewing staff from breast cancer clinics, hospitals and research groups in the Netherlands.

Furthermore we wanted to analyze the influence of hypoxia and lactic acid on the process of Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT), which has an important impact on the metastasis of breast cancer, by using the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. These influences have been analyzed on a self-designed chip and in well plates on gene-level with qPCR to be able to compare it with the chip. Additionally, an interactive visualization have been made with the use of Unity software, which explains the lab progress in an informative way to inform people.

These concentrations already cause damage to fish and other aquatic animals and if the concentration keeps increasing, it might affect human health too.

The main goal of the medicine removal group is optimizing a layer-by-layer membrane to efficiently remove medicine residues from wastewater. Within this project group, multiple disciplines are involved. Chemistry is working on coating blank membrane fibers with different polyelectrolytes to reduce the average pore size. Chemical engineering is focused on researching the membrane performances of these state of the art coated membranes, with flux and membrane retention as main data. Retention is the percentage of rejected medicine concentration by the membrane. Applied physics is working on a computer model in COMSOL/MATLAB/Simulink to predict and optimize membrane performance.

Project in shortThe project focusses on the control of an above knee leg prothesis by using muscle signals. People that undergo such an amputation still send signals to their leg muscles. These signals are intercepted by electrodes. The problem is that there is no existing way to integrate these electrodes into the prothesis. Integrating these electrodes into a socket is a possible solution to the problem. The socket will be placed over the amputees stump, directly onto the skin.

Challenges aheadDuring the process we are faced with multiple challenges like material choice, production and joining processes, selecting the right electrodes and making sure the system stays connected.

Project in shortThe project ‘Relive my memory’ is about to bring people with dementia back to their past. Elderly with dementia are very oblivious, but they know a lot about the past. With Virtual Reality they go to an environment they know from their past. Think of a living room from the 60s, or a beautiful forest.

Our goal is to let demented elderly people go back in time. We hope that they will revive from such a VR experience and that they will become more positive.

With three different backgrounds, we try to get the most out of this project. We use our medical knowledge, our film skills and our creativity.

“THEPROBLEMISTHEREISNOEXISTINGWAYTOINTEGRATETHEELECTRODESINTOTHEPROTHESIS."

Challenges aheadThe most important question is how will people with dementia respond to this VR experience? Does this really make them calm? Which environments do they like? What if they don’t like the VR at all? Should we bring this to the market at all?

Project in shortSmart Future Gym is a project based on creating a gym that contains future based materials. The purpose of this project is to stimulate people to workout more often by making it more exciting. The Smart Future Gym will not look like a gym we’re used to, but will contain games instead of basic gym equipment. These games will be set up using future based software, like an interactive wall. The Smart Future Gym we’re creating is focused on being socially active and having fun while working out.

Challenges aheadSetting up a prototype, since we’re using expensive equipment and we are not sure if we’re able to borrow it to build a prototype. Making sure everything is affordable, we did not get a budget, but the client wants us to submit a written justification on why they need the equipment.

Project in short“What does the gym of the future look like?” That was the main question that entrepreneur Robin Effing and gym owner Edwin Bos asked our project group. After many meetings, numerous brainstorm sessions and state of the art research, we came up with FitFactory: a gym where companies come for teambuilding and individuals can sport as well. By interactive educational games the users of our gym train and learn at the same time. Such as learning a choreography in the Dancing Room, test their condition and brain skills in the Escape Room, cycle between virtual mountains and save the day as a police officer in the Role Playing Game. The main goal of this project is to develop a futuristic gym where new technology is combined with fun physical exercise and socializing.

Challenges aheadToday’s technologies are out of reach for a project in this start-up phase. That is why we will project our concept in a virtual reality environment. For students who are not equipped enough, this is quite a challenging yet exciting part of the project.

79Challenges aheadOur challenge is to see if it is possible to determine the measurement error in the average measured drug concentration with the current setup. Furthermore, this error must fall within the clinical required values, so that the administration of medication is more accurate and NICU nurses can respond more adequately to the changes in the clinical picture.

Project in shortThe CHARMM-project focusses on the medication administration from a multi-infusion system. This system may result in medication errors. Neonates on the Neonates Intensive Care Units (NICU’s) often have to deal with multi-infusion systems. Multi-infusion involves risks, including uncontrolled and incorrect medication administration in neonates, causing a high risk at overdose.

The Pioneers in Health Care - Characterization of Medicine Mixtures (PiHC-CHARMM) project has been set up to address this problem.

The main goal of this PiHC-CHARMM project is to make administration of medication more accurate via multi-infusion systems by surveying and modelling physical properties of drug concentrations.

Project in shortWe are researching an innovative way to help heart patients. When they are released from the hospital and are done with their controlled rehabilitation, we are looking for an innovative way to stimulate their behaviour in creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

With this innovative way we are taking into account what the patients, different professionals and the literature states they are looking for in a good innovation. Also other innovations are researched and criticised on their strong and weak points.

Challenges aheadThe challenge in this project is creating something that is not only substantiated by the literature, but is also very usable by the patients and the professionals that will have to use it.

Project in shortDuring the project Impact Your Study, we had to come up with a focus point ourselves. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) made by the United Nations and signed by our client Saxion were the only guidelines we had.

Our idea? Washing hands. A habit we all take for granted. But not in Indonesia. Which is why diarrhea and infections are the number one cause of child mortality in this country. This has to change, and that’s why we made this our main focus.

After the research phase, we decided to solve this hygiene problem by washing hands in rural areas of Indonesia. We don’t want them to rely on us which is why our solution contains an educational kit instead of just sending products. By providing this teaching method we contribute to the SDG: Better Health and Well-being. Spreading knowledge as the Smart Kitds company, providing smart kits for smart kids.

Challenges aheadWe’ve done the research. Now it’s our task to dive into our production process! We’ll make a prototype and we’ll find our way of exporting the product.

The dream? Spreading the knowledge! Our company, Smart Kitds, against child mortality by bad hand washing conditions, solving big problems by simple ideas.

Project in shortThe MyoBot project wants to develop a physical game for young plexus brachial lesion patients. For these patients the nerves between the spinal cord and collarbone are under great pressure, which causes the nerves to stretch or even tear. This injury is often caused by a difficult childbirth.

Physical therapy is needed to teach these patients to use and train their arms.

Our project wants to develop physical gameplay for young rehabilitation patients that can be controlled through wireless myofeedback. The game has to be easy to set up, reproducible and make rehabilitation fun.

Challenges ahead• Making a connection between the sensors and the game• Physically build the game • Test the physical game with children

Project in shortOur support ensures that people with disabilities participate as much as possible in society and can develop themselves. This means that we prefer to give clients the means to be in control themselves instead of being ‘controlled’. In this specific case that means that we are looking for solutions that either enable our client to support or call for help themselves or solutions that prompt an automatic alarm in case something is wrong (e.g. with the use of biometrics). This in contrast to the situation where all clients are monitored constantly via video, audio or GPS. As Zozijn is responsible for the persons in her care, the proposed solutions must ensure safety and wellbeing of our client.

Challenges aheadThe challenge that lies ahead is to deliver an app that is of value to a target group that isn’t necessarily familiar with technologies. Therefore it needs to be user friendly and needs to look and feel different than what we are used to making. We need to think like an elderly person and see the app through their eyes.

“REDUCINGTHEEVERGROWINGPLASTICSOUPANDPOTABLEWATERSHORTAGEAROUNDTHEWORLDSTANDATTHECOREOFTHISCOMPANY.”

Project in shortJoin the Pipe is a company that aims to change the world for the better by selling reusable water bottles. Reducing the evergrowing plastic soup and potable water shortage around the world stand at the core of this company. To increase awareness regarding these global issues the group was asked to launch a pilot campaign in Enschede, which would be applicable to varying cities in the future. A campaign that aspires to bring a seemingly distant problem closer to home; the transformation of the plastic soup into harmful microplastics. As a means to increase the reach of the campaign and the spread of the message, an acompanying Enschede City Bottle was brought to life. To distribute the bottles a fully functional bidon dispenser, water tap and payment system were developed and made ready for launch. Once all these components have been seemlessly combined, the campaign can serve as a spark to inspire change in Enschede.

Challenges aheadIn the coming months the group will be served with a myriad of challenges. The campaign plan must be made launch-ready. A further challenge will come in the form of making a functional prototype. A medium to employ said campaign comes in the form of a functional dispenser that will strengthen the cause.

Project in shortSaxion has committed itself to save 2% energy per year. To be able to operate the building with less energy but equally good indoor environmental quality, we need the occupants to understand that they have an impact on their energy use. In order to do so, we as a project team need to build and test a sensor- and data acquisition system as well as a digital platform to communicate and interact with the occupants and show them real-time space use, indoor air quality and energy use. Our project is limited to the entrance area of the School of BBT and needs to fit the character of the space as well as the needs of the occupant.

Challenges aheadOne of our biggest challenges is to create interaction between the corridor and the occupant. Another challenge we have to face is that we need our target audience to test our concepts. This will lead to more iterations.

Project in shortThis project consists of two ongoing murder case investigations. The first case was assigned by the police and the second one by the family of the victim. The police department provided us with confidential files hoping that we, as outsiders, will find new evidence or wrong interpretations.On the second case we are working with a system called ESC12, developed by Pandora Intelligence. This system was created for the purpose of making up scenarios. There are many homicides, already solved ones, which stories are in the database. With the components of all these homicides the database gives us a scenario which we can further investigate. This way the system can create new scenarios that are likely to match the homicide that is investigated.

Challenges aheadA lot of solved homicides have not been implemented in the system yet. The next group could help with finding homicides that have a common factor with a new cold case. Like we did.

The ANPR system that is currently being used by the Dutch police is incredibly expensive due to the highend hardware involved. When successful our system could then be used both in the field and for training purposes.

Challenges aheadThe main challenge for us is then to replicate or even improve the existing solutions within a small budget, using consumer hardware.

Project in shortThe Netherlands counts 1500 cold cases. 1500 crimes unsolved. This research helps to reduce this number. Our project focuses on single cell research, more specifically isolating single cells and transferring them into a DNA profile, to eliminate the mixed profiles that occur quite often. During this research single cells will be isolated from pieces of evidence coming from real cold cases! The DNA in these cells will be amplified and detected, which will give a single source DNA-Profile. Cells interact differently with different fabrics, so to find the most efficient way to isolate cells, tests are held on different fibres and structures. Lastly, to determine the probative value of a single source DNA-profile, interviews are taking place with different experts in the field e.g. judges, DNA-experts, lawyers, Prosecutors, etc.

Challenges aheadThe challenges we face is that the probative value at activity level is still quite low and unsure. Besides this, improving and optimising the current techniques and possibly inventing new techniques to increase the effectiveness on certain textiles is a challenge.

Thales & Aeronamic

Saxion Research Group: Industrial Design

Project in short3D metal printing is an upcoming production technique, which develops very rapidly. In this project the research question is whether it is possible to improve and integrate cooling components with the use of 3D metal printing.

The research consists of two business cases: one from Thales and one from Aeronamic. For Thales the case is to redesign a cooling plate that cools the electrical components of radar systems used on naval ships. For Aeronamic the case is to redesign a stator housing of a compressor that will be used in aircrafts like the airbus A330/340. This stator housing can get very hot due to rotating parts and needs to be cooled sufficiently.

3D metal printing has the advantage of creating complex shapes and structures compared to traditional production methods like milling. The challenge is to create a cooling component with the best cooling efficiency.

Challenges aheadIn the remaining weeks research will be done to get the best concept for both the cool plate and stator housing will be developed and scale models will be 3D printed. This will be achieved by performing research on cooling principles, doing flow simulations and practical tests.

Project in shortThe clothing industry lacks transparency, which indirectly results in disasters. Disasters such as the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh, which collapsed in 2013, demanding more than 1.000 lives. This project is about changing the clothing industry for the better by using blockchain technology. Enabling companies to make their clothing traceable, increasing the transparency, resulting in better control of working conditions, fair wages and sustainability throughout the supply chain. The point of view from different stakeholders is the base line for developing the Autraq application and implementing tracing chips into the supply chain. Chips will be tested to increase feasibility for implementation and a collaboration in the form of a pilot, with a sustainable clothing company, will be started to explore opportunities within the clothing industry. All with the focus to increase consumer awareness and expand the accessibility of sustainable fashion.

Challenges aheadFinancially or other added value, besides transparency, is still lacking throughout this project case. Time is of the essence and companies are not yet willing to spend this on blockchain technology, because of lack of knowledge or challenges considering implementation and investment in production facilities.

Project in shortThe project in question is a follow up of a longer running series of 3S projects hosted by the mechatronic research group. The project focuses on developing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is to be deployed in an agricultural environment where it will be used for crop dusting.

These UAVs have been equipped with tanks and nozzles which can spray liquid agents over the area below them. All have flight controllers capable of autonomous flight, however it requires some knowledge and expertise to use them to their full potential, especially in an agricultural context where the intended userbase, mainly farmers, are not capable of investing the time needed on learning how to operate the UAV’s safely and properly.

Therefore the project goal is to solve this problem by developing a solution that allows compatible UAVs to systematically cover an area with minimal user input through an comprehensive user interface.

Challenges aheadLack of favourable weather conditions for testing the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

Insufficient knowledge of the general software architecture and language.

Project in shortThe project concept dress is about creating the dress of the future. We focus on the years 2050/2060 and mean to counter the trend of fast fashion and create awareness for the fact that our population is growing, and that privacy is not a matter of course anymore. The dress is a symbol for globalisation, the whole world is constantly moving and so is our dress. With the help of a shape changing material the dress can move, this means that you can create privacy for yourself whenever you need it. With this material the garment can also be used for several different occasions. The shape changing material is a nitinol wire, which can take any shape.

Project in shortThere is an urgent need in different fields for small, cost-effective sensors that can detect low gas concentrations. One of these fields is forensic science, in this field sensors can be used to detect low amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and/or inorganic compounds (IC’s) that can indicate locations of drugs laboratories and/or drug waste dumping spots. An example is the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNP’s) that are applied to electrodes to form a sensor. Several of these sensors, each with a selectivity for different VOC’s or IC’s, then form the gas sensor. The sensor can be used for different purposes. Not only in the forensic science field, but other fields as well. A few examples; fighting terrorism by finding explosives, monitoring the release of toxic substances in a fire, detection and quantification of ethanol in the breath of drivers and making a medical diagnosis based on exhaled air.

Challenges aheadIn this research, the aim is to develop a sensor that can be used in the detection of groups of VOC’s/IC’s in several fields. This can be done by producing stable gold nanoparticles, differing the application method and testing the final sensors.

Studio Eva x Carola

Project in shortThe expertise of Studio Eva x Carola is in seamless and circular knit techniques regarding performance wear. They seek for the ideal design process to create tailored stitch-by-stitch seamless (half-) garments. At the moment, circular garments are made in 2D-software programs which complicate their design process. The 3D-design must be translated to a 2D-file whereby the circular knitting machine creates a 3D-product. This way of designing takes too much time.

Our goal is to shift the entire design process to the customer by means of a website or application in which the customers can fully personalize their sportswear to their wishes. This is linked to a 3D-software which makes it possible to create a design directly in 3D that is compatible with a knitting machine. Within this 3D-file, the customers’ requirements, such as functions and sizes, can automatically be integrated in the design by the use of variables and algorithms.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge is to get a proper analysis of software programs regarding what elements work well as well as what is lacking and what needs to be added. This is crucial for a proper advice towards the company for building a software tailored to their needs.

“THEE-NOSESENSORISASMALLDEVICETHATCANDETECTSEVERALPARTSPERMILLIONOFGASSESINTHEATMOSPHERE.”

Project in shortThe e-Nose sensor is a small device that can detect several parts per million of gasses in the atmosphere. Currently the research is specified for a potato storage. When a potato rots, it releases certain gasses. By planting a sensor in the storage, the potato rot can be detected early. The sensor can also be used for other applications, for example a fire brigade. With the sensor they would know what kind of fire they need to deal with. The sensor is a micro cantilever that has been coated with a sensitive polymer. This polymer will absorb certain gasses better than the others, which creates a mass difference. The mass difference will affect the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric element and with the resonance frequency a “fingerprint of the gas” can be made and the gas can be detected.

Challenges aheadThe future project group should try and coat E-nose chip with polymers and use software to try and measure change in E-nose output. A fingerprint of a rotting potato can be discovered by measuring with multiple cantilevers here for an electronic switching matrix should be developed and tested with the E-nose chip.

Project in shortThe clothing and textile industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. With the increase of the world’s population, there is an increase in the textile consumption and hence waste. In the process of textile production, a lot of water and chemicals are used. Today a lot of companies and researchers are looking into developing eco-friendlier and sustainable solutions to this problem. The SaXcell team of the Research Group Smart Functional Materials at Saxion University of Applied Sciences is one of the groups working on eco-friendly and sustainable solutions for recycling. While the team has successfully regenerated virgin cellulosic fibers from cotton waste with less environmental impact, the sustainable decolourization of the fibers is still a challenge. The goal of our research is to find a sustainable method of decolorizing vat dyes from cellulosic fiber waste that is feasible on an industrial-scale. The focus will be on Indigo dye, a typical vat dye used for jeans.

Challenges aheadThe enzyme laccase and reducing sugars have been employed to remove partial color to obtain a ‘washed’ look, but not yet to completely remove dye from the fabric. In this research, these alternatives will be tested for near-complete removal of the indigo dye.

“THEFEAROFACRIMEISAMUCHBIGGERPROBLEMTHANTHECRIMEITSELF.”

Project in shortWithin today’s society there is a growing feeling of unsafety. And in fact, the fear of a crime, is actually a much bigger problem than the crime itself. This project is looking for innovative new solutions to enhance and protect the safe feeling of a specific group.

Acts of violence while taking the dog for a walk are no rarity these days. For this project we focus on dog owners, which is certainly a group that feels unsafe. Even though they are afraid that something might happen, they have to walk with their dog. This is why we will develop a product to provide their feeling of safety.

Challenges aheadFor now the challenge is to make a prototype of the product with integrated technology into clothing or accessories. And as well create a creative business concept. In the end of this project we want to present our idea to a company and hopefully they want to collaborate with us.

Project in shortLekabelt B.V. produces leather belts for various large clients in the market, such as The Sting, Schuurman Schoenen and Manfield. A significant amount of perfectly fine leather is leftover when cutting the leather belts out of the corresponding sheets. The disposal of this waste on itself costs roughly €5.000,- on a yearly basis, not taking the value of the leather itself into account. The objective of this project is to investigate different possibilities as to what can be done to reduce this waste stream. The aim of this research is to offer the client one or more solutions on the processing of the current waste of leather. One of the ideas we are worked on, is trying to shred the leather and form it into some sort of composite to be used as decoration, insulation or some kind of building material.

Challenges aheadOne of the biggest challenges is to come up with new innovative ideas for potential applications and processing of the current waste stream. It is important to know what kind of opportunities are realistic to keep the project sustainable and to develop it to a new product/material.

“THECHALLENGEISTO PRODUCEAHIGHTOLERANT

SIMPLIFIEDDESIGNWHICHCANBEUSEDASARELEVANTREFERENCEABOUTPRODUCTIONFORTHELIGHTWEIGHTSUSPENSIONPARTSHANISDESIGNING.”

Project in shortThis project runs in collaboration with the HAN university of automotive engineering. They are designing lightweight automotive suspension parts (upright, damper, leaf spring) using thermoplastic composites in contrast to metal alloys. The general idea behind this project is that this new design should decrease the unspring weight of the car, whilst retaining its strength and stiffness. Which will lead to improved and sportier response from the car to the drivers input.

As the Saxion projectgroup our goal is to produce a simplified design of a thermoplastic upright. The upright is the component that connects the suspension with the wheels. This prototype will be produced within an injection moulding machine to validate if mass production of lightweight automotive suspension parts is possible. Put briefly our design will be a reference for the reproduction of the upright, damper and leaf spring within an injection molding process.

Challenges aheadOur design needs to be simplified so it is a challenge to find an optimum between time, financials as well as research questions.

The design will be produced with an injection molding machine located at the thermoplastic composite applications center (Lightweight structures lectorate). The design consists of inserts which will make it a challenge to produce. Besides that the lectorate has little experience with injection molding, so this will also be a reference about the applicability of their machine.

Saxion research group: Lectorate Mechatronics

Project in shortThe goal is to get the collaborative YuMi robot to be deployed in the factory of Benchmark.The product we are focusing on is a Wi-Fi router which is produced and assembled by Benchmark. While their products have to be high quality, Benchmark can really benefit of the extensive quality checking possibilities of the YuMi. Next to this Benchmark does mostly produce low amounts of products. Therefore it is not profitable to create a fully automated product assembly line. This is where the collaborative capability of the YuMi comes into play. As a previous Smart solutions group started up with this process, we are building further onto their progress and solutions. The main solution we’ve found is the use of trays and corresponding software which is easily adaptable to changes and future developments. Furthermore, we have improved the collaborative part for better interaction between the robot and the worker.

Challenges ahead• Improved collaboration between worker and YuMi• Adaptable software• Tray and gripper design• Functional in Benchmark factory

“WITHTHISSMARTSUITYOUWILLLOOKFASHIONABLEANDBEPROFESSIONALDURINGYOURPRESENTATION.”

Project in shortGoogle and Levi’s started a collaboration called Project Jacquard three years ago. Conductive yarns are neatly integrated in a woven garment. The conductive yarns sense touch and transmit a signal to your mobile phone. Inspired by the so-called Project Jacquard, it is now up to us to create our own Saxion Project Jacquard. We are creating a fashionable smart suit for anyone who provides a presentation during work. You won’t need to manually control a computer or remote control to be able to control the presentation any longer. Conductive yarns embroidered on the sleeve of your jacket transmit a signal to a device that transmits a Bluetooth signal to your computer that for example automatically goes to the next slide of your PowerPoint. This is just one of many examples to smoothen up a presentation. With this smart suit you will look fashionable and be professional during your presentation.

Challenges aheadIt will be a challenge to make everything come together. From the suit, to the components that makes it smart. It all has to fit in smoothly. It will take a lot of research but fortunately we have got the people to realise this project.

NEP the Netherlands

Project in shortNEP the Netherlands is an international leading company specialized in outsourcing television and internet capturing for public and commercial broadcasters. Recently NEP is utilizing augmented reality and other new technologies for new generation of television show which are visually exhilarating, quicker to create and cheaper to produce. However, these technologies have rarely been utilized by the production companies and television broadcasters due to their lack of knowledge of the used technologies. Therefore, NEP asked us students to create a new gameshow concept which implements and showcases the capabilities of their technology. We decided to utilize NEP’s AR technology to create a visually stunning studio in which we will be hosting an interactive Murder Mystery series. The aim of this concept is to retain popularity and innovate the way we consume linear television shows, through the meanings of viewers participation, exhilarating augmented visual environments and great narrative.

Challenges aheadWhilst our concept would be kept within the prototype phase, challenges ahead lie within creating an actual stable interactive environment capable of collecting the data of hundreds of thousands of viewers through an app and making this corresponding with what would be happening in the studio.

Project in shortIn this project our goal is to develop a new office for: Winkels Techniek BV.

Their current office is barred and has an ineffective and unmotivated look. It’s not who they are.

For their new office they want something completely different. It needs to be SMART, sustainable, innovative and reliable. They want their employees to feel like they’re home.

Our main job is to make the building SMART. This means literally that it’ll be clever and intelligent. The goal of such a building is to make work easier for the co-workers.

We also need to make this building sustainable. For the record, this building should get a BREEAM-certificate. That’s quite a job, but not the least important one, since our client is specialized in installations.

Another requirement we shouldn’t forget, is that the building has to be energy-neutral. There must be at least an equal amount of generated energy as consumed energy.

Project in shortVirtual Haptic Reality is a project where we want to stimulate and increase immersive experiences with a full haptic feedback vest for gamers and users. We will be working with a haptic feedback vest with Virtual Reality inside a First Person Shooter demonstration.

Haptics is a branch of psychology that investigates sensory data; sensation of touch and skin contact, our project will be used to figure out the best applications of haptics and the market value of such a product.

Feedback places an important role for gameplay. What started as a fun gimmick, transformed the game industry forever. There isn’t much applications and research applied to this hardware yet. Therefore this project has a very attractive research potential for Smart Solutions but also for the department of CMGT, as it shows a new possible innovation for the development of new technological features in games.

Challenges aheadThe project had many delays due to a lack of distribution of hardware. We are still going strong and will complete our working demonstration for users to test in the coming week. We will conduct several haptic tests and determine which will be sufficient feedback for the user. We will implement other features once we receive the required feedback.

Project in shortWe are creating an immersive video game where the player can use their actual voice to talk to a Non Playable Character. The NPC will respond in a logical and a realistic way, creating responses with a neural network and speech generation software. The game takes place on a space station, where the player will act as a detective searching for the hidden mole within the company. Through interrogation and exploration, the player will have to decipher the clues and make a decision that will impact the fate of many. Together with the stunning cinematics, environment, models, and intuitive game design, we are hoping to deliver something to the market that has not been done before.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge is perfecting the realistic NPC. Having the NPC talk, answer, and react like a normal human being is very tricky and time consuming. The other challenge is time. Creating a full game within 6 months is near to impossible.
