What is the Danish Ambassador to France looking at? At this week's EURONAVAL, Danish Ambassador to France, Hanne Fugl Eskjær, tried the SimFlex VR maritime simulator. This simulator replicates real maritime conditions, making it useful across sectors for training, operational planning and even engineering studies. Naval teams can use SimFlex VR to practice navigation, crisis response and tactical coordination in a risk-free, controlled environment, gaining practical experience without live exercises: https://lnkd.in/diuyRtYN

Aftalen om forskningsreserven på 5,5 mia. kr. er på plads ved et bredt flertal mellem Regeringen og Folketingets partier. Bred opbakning er afgørende for langsigtede investeringer som forskning, innovation og grøn omstilling.   Vi er sat i verden for at skabe positive forandringer for erhvervsliv og samfund i anvendelse af ny viden og teknologi. Derfor er det særligt glædeligt, at aftalen indeholder:   ➡️ Fortsatte investeringer i den grønne omstilling med øget fokus på implementering af bl.a. CO2-fangst, PtX og cirkulær økonomi. Vi skal fra lovende teknologier til realiserede gevinster. ➡️ Øget fokus på test- og demonstrationsfaciliteter som centrale for implementeringen, hvorfor der skal udarbejdes et roadmap for fremtidens investeringer. ➡️ Investering i udvikling af kritiske teknologier i Danmark inden for rumområdet, kvanteteknologi, mikrochip, kunstig intelligens og forsvarsforskning. ➡️ Styrket forskning i life science, medicinsk udsyr og sundhedsdata for at fortsat at være med i verdenseliten.   Investeringer i forskning og innovation er investeringer i fremtiden, der kommer os alle til gavn.

I år var vi samlet på tværs af organisationen i vores sorte telt, hvor gæster fra erhvervslivet, forskningsverdenen og det offentlige kunne opleve en række innovative teknologier. Blandt andet tiltrak vores auraliseringer af trafikstøj stor opmærksomhed. Her kunne de besøgende høre på egen hånd, hvordan det lyder, når støjreduktioner som fx en støjskærm dæmper støjen langs en motorvej. Erhvervsminister Morten Bødskov var også forbi og udtrykte begejstring over, hvordan auraliseringer kan skabe et realistisk indtryk af støjskærmens effekt. Vores AR-opsætning vakte også interesse, hvor gæsterne gennem augmented reality kunne opleve en vindmøllevinge i fuld størrelse – en imponerende visuel oplevelse, der gør teknologien nærværende. Digital Tech Summit er Danmarks største teknologikonference og tiltrak i år flere virksomheder end tidligere, fra start-ups og SMV’er til store etablerede aktører. En stor tak til alle kolleger og besøgende, der kom forbi. Særligt tak til kollegaer fra Sustainable and Digital Innovation, Acoustics og SenseLab, DAIS (Development og P-scan) samt Emissions & Thermal Technologies. Vi ser frem til næste år!

Each type of light—visible, infrared (IR), and ultraviolet (UV)—requires careful assessment to ensure its safety for users. 🟦 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 Blue light from powerful sources like LED chips can be particularly harmful to the eyes (Blue-Light Hazard), potentially causing photochemical reactions and retinal damage. This requires a thorough risk assessment. 🟥 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 (𝐈𝐑) Known for emitting thermal energy, IR light is used in surveillance cameras, tracking systems, signal transmission and communication systems, and can cause eye damage with prolonged exposure. A significant risk of IR light is that it does not trigger the eye's natural protective mechanisms since it is invisible and does not elicit a visual response. 🟪 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 (𝐔𝐕) Used in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food production and the entertainment sector, UV-A and UV-B support plant growth, disinfection, material testing and tanning beds, while UV-C is potent for microbial control and sterilisation in the healthcare and food sectors. UV radiation is dangerous for both skin and eyes, necessitating dosage limits. Manufacturers need accredited photobiological safety testing to document that their products meet international standards👇 https://lnkd.in/dveNm7kx

I går havde vi fornøjelsen af at byde Maskinmestrenes Forening velkommen til et møde med fokus på innovation og partnerskab. Emnerne inkluderede digitalisering, grøn dagsorden og rekruttering af maskinmestre, som er afgørende for fremtidens løsninger. På billedet præsenterer Michael Rosenberg P-scan, en teknologi der, ved hjælp af kunstig intelligens, kan finde produktionsfejl i vindmøllevinger – et skridt mod en mere bæredygtig produktion. 💡 Læs mere om, hvad P-scan kan: https://lnkd.in/dpn_MsTc

𝗘𝘅𝗼𝟯𝟲𝟬 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 🦴 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 Exo360, co-founded by Mads Terndrup, MD PhD, has set out to modernise trauma care by replacing the ancient and outdated methods of treating broken bones. As a former orthopaedic surgeon, Mads saw firsthand the limitations of current non-surgical treatments. "We still rely on methods from the Crimean War era. Our mission is to create a cutting-edge solution to eliminate the need for unnecessary surgeries and elevate the quality of trauma care globally," he says. 🏥  The primary issue with traditional casting is that it doesn't adjust to the body's natural changes during healing. Swelling goes down, and casts become loose, leading to a higher risk of surgery. New research shows that for broken wrists, the cast loses its fit in about 48% of cases as swelling reduces, often resulting in the need for surgery.   💡 Exo360's breakthrough came with the development of elastomeric lattice metamaterials. They adapt to changes in swelling, providing continuous support to broken bones, which helps prevent the need for surgical intervention. The solution moves with the patient, ensuring optimal pressure on the fracture throughout the healing process.   🧪 Exo360 teamed up with us to ensure their material could withstand real-use conditions. The collaboration included consultancy on test protocols as well as running extensive tests on their product's mechanical and environmental durability, which is crucial for gaining medical device market entry.   "FORCE Technology helped us validate what we believed but needed to prove—that our metamaterial is effective, resilient and safe. With the documentation we've gathered, we're ready to go through the process of securing CE marking, which is vital for market entry," Mads says. 📰 Go to full case story: https://lnkd.in/dkbehuBp

⚓ Happy World Maritime Day! This year's World Maritime Day theme, Navigating the Future: Safety First, highlights the importance of integrating technology without compromising safety. We share this focus. Technology and safety go hand in hand in everything we do. We are pleased to announce the successful delivery of the world's most advanced XR Tug simulator, now installed at Smartship Australia, a leading simulation facility owned by the Australian Government. This marks a significant milestone as our first Green Screen simulator installation, using proven XR technology from the F-35 programme in a maritime training setting. 💡 The simulator features a multi-XR headset setup, allowing multiple users to participate in the same simulation exercise. 💡 The XR and Green Screen technology enhances the user experience while requiring less hardware and lowering power consumption, supporting a more sustainable operational profile. Thanks to everyone involved in delivering this successful project headed by Jan Michelsen, our Director of Simulation, Ports, and Human Factors. 🙏 ➡ More on our maritime services: https://lnkd.in/ehsyXtzG
