Perron038

is building a Factory of the Future

Discover more about the factory

Perron038 is the place to be for innovative manufacturing in the east of The Netherlands. In our innovation center in Zwolle, we work together on the future of the high-tech manufacturing industry. Technicians and students get inspired, work together and research and experiment, in order to discover technological innovation. This is done by continuously innovating, learning and inspiring. We produce the future together.

The future

is in our hands

Together we are stronger, that's why companies and educational institutions join Perron038. To produce the future together. We are building the innovation center for the manufacturing industry in our region. We do this all together: technicians, students, researchers and entrepreneurs.

We connect high-tech companies, educational institutions and research companies to each other. This facilitates innovative projects focused on research and development. Machine builders and technical product developers come together at Perron038. Talent development is key.

We are located directly at the train station of Zwolle, in a beautiful old industrial hall. The hall has been converted into a hypermodern environment where talent can grow, develop and innovate by sharing knowledge and inspiring each other. To (continue to) choose work in technology, to make machines and products smarter and very importantly more sustainable. By learning to innovate faster and better.

Technicians and students work together on joint projects but also on their own innovative projects: demonstrators, prototypes and modules of high-tech machines. They make use of robotics, IT technology, mechatronics, sensors, additive manufacturing and vision technology. Develop, test and improve. At Perron 038 we continue to innovate, all for the future.

Project BRAINS: Applying Artificial Intelligence in new manufacturing solutions

8 February 2024

Companies in the manufacturing industry agree that using Artificial Intelligence (AI) can provide competitive advantages. And yet only a small proportion of companies apply it. The potential is great: research shows that manufacturing produces the largest amount of data compared to other sectors. Yet in many cases, this data does not get beyond being stored […]

Innovation

Themes

At Perron038 we work on various innovation themes. Together we produce the future! We collaborate, research and experiment in order to innovate, learn and inspire.

The collaboration doesn’t only provide an interesting knowledge base for the partners but also applied and current knowledge for students and other SMEs.

We are currently developing a physical fabriek van de toekomstin Zwolle. This project is receiving a contribution from the European Union's European Regional Development Fund.

Flex factory of the future

Disruptive technologies are gaining ground at a rapid pace. But how can a company make smart and quick decisions? What has potential and what doesn’t suit the manufacturing process? Within this theme, partners work together on methods to develop systematic and modular (machine) designs.

Sensing en control technology

When we say ‘sensing & control’ technology we talk about sensors: an artificial implementation of what we call a sense in biology. At Perron038 we carry out projects and activities together to develop new applications for sensors.

  • Vision technology
  • Low-cost mass volume sensor technologies
  • Sustainable sensor technologies
  • Object recognition

Data driven production

By developing a data-driven machine programmed with some aspects of human intelligence, a new form of production intelligence is created. The balance between man and machine is the starting point for this theme. In order to learn more about data driven production we conduct research and activities.

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Machine learning
  • Data organization and structuring
  • Human Machine Interface design
