NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences Students Proudly Present Their Robot Future Research and Win Prestigious Sibbele Oosterhaven Innovation Award.

Friday 14 July was a special day for the students of the second batch of the Associate degree (Ad) Industrial Automation and Robotics course at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences. They proudly presented their research during a poster market in the SKILL building in Drachten. For a year they have studied robotics and automation, and now it was time to share their findings.

The atmosphere at the poster market was energetic and full of creativity. The students showed what they had discovered and devised in the field of technical improvements and innovations at their employers. Company supervisors, teachers and fellow students were present to attend the presentations and provide feedback.

The highlight of the day was the presentation of the Sibbele Oosterhaven Innovation Award. This prestigious award was won by Sander Witte, who successfully completed an assignment for Cramm Yachting systems. His application of predictive maintenance to the cranes developed and delivered at Cramm was recognized as highly innovative and valuable.

The Associate degree (Ad) Industrial Automation and Robotics program of NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences, in collaboration with Innovatiecluster Drachten (ICD) and companies in the Northern Netherlands, offers students the opportunity to specialize in emerging technologies in the industry. The world of robotics and automation is evolving rapidly, and these students are at the forefront of these exciting developments.

The future working environment will be characterized by a harmonious collaboration between humans and robots. Robots take over boring, dangerous and time-consuming tasks, while human employees can concentrate on creative and strategic activities. This partnership between man and machine leads to increased efficiency and productivity in the industry. Industrial automation engineers and robotics experts play a crucial role in this, because they bridge the gap between humans and robots.

Sustainability is also an important aspect of the Robot future. In a world where environmental issues are becoming increasingly prominent, it is essential to implement sustainable production processes. Robots can play a key role in this. As a student of this degree, you can contribute to the design and implementation of more efficient and greener production processes, reducing the ecological footprint.

In short, this program offers endless opportunities and challenges for students with a passion for technology and innovation. The Robotfuture is an exciting and promising field in which you too can play a part in shaping the future of the industry.

The success of this course is partly due to Sibbele Oosterhaven, the quartermaster of this unique opportunity. His vision and commitment have ensured that this training has come about. Therefore, the award is named after him to honor and recognize his contribution.

Discover the world of robotics and automation and take the next step in the Robotfuture with us!
