Increasingly robots and autonomous vehicles are working alongside operators. But what about the standards? What is to be expected in this field? Want to know which standards affect you?

Ultrashort pulse lasers can modify surfaces to give them new properties or functionalities such as friction, water repellency, anti-bacterial action or higher heat release. They offer many advantages over conventional coatings and their application potential seems endless.

Removable coatings allow coated interior products to be reused several times, which will significantly extend their lifespan and ensure recyclable waste streams at end-of-life. The PEELDESIGN project is investigating and optimising such coatings so that they can be used for interior applications, as ...

Researchers at Sirris demonstrate for first time femtosecond laser texturing of soft biopolymer coatings as a high-throughput method for surface patterning.

Innovation in manufacturing plays a key role in reducing the industry’s environmental impact. Recent advances in non-classical manufacturing technologies, such as ultrashort pulsed laser manufacturing, open doors to new opportunities, reconciling cost considerations and environmental impact. Sirris ...

'Corrosion under insulation' (CUI) is one of the most common and most difficult to manage forms of corrosion in the process and chemical industry, with corresponding costs and safety risks. To support research aimed at better management of CUI, in its CorrosieLABS [Corrosion & Insulation Practice ...

Until recently, Sirris used multi-scale texturing to make surfaces water-repellent. This technique creates superhydrophobic surfaces but is quite time-consuming. That is why we looked for a different solution: the results we obtained with LIPPS ('Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures') are ...

While AGVs and AMRs can bring significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity, they also introduce new safety risks that must be addressed. In a series of blogs, we will explore AGV safety from multiple angles. In this third and final blog post, we will examine the responsibilities of ...
