Traditional team targets treat all players the same, but not every player has the same role or physical condition. In modern performance monitoring, using individual benchmarks allows for smarter coaching decisions and tailored development, especially when working with GPS and heart rate data. Discover how personalized targets can boost both team results and player well-being.

Demcon is now supporting a new research project conducted by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and Dutch Cancer Society. The aim of this research is to find new, faster, and more effective methods for detecting cervical cancer.

Improved knowledge management for manufacturing & engineering On September 1, Technology developer and manufacturer Demcon acquired Enschede-based Eluxis, a specialist in knowledge management for the manufacturing & engineering industries. This will allow Demcon to expand its knowledge management services and to continue to make life easier for its customers. Demcon can continue to develop by actively supporting the entire product lifecycle, in addition to developing new products and technology, primarily by means of technical documentation and technical training. At the same time, Eluxis will retain and continue to expand its own customer base.

Vibration-free cooling for undisturbed measurements of gravity waves. A consortium of Demcon kryoz, Cooll and the University of Twente will develop an advanced cooling system for the Einstein Telescope. This enormous observatory will measure gravitational waves, which Albert Einstein predicted more than 100 years ago. It may be housed beneath the hilly landscape of the Dutch-Belgian-German border area. The consortium will receive 2.6 million euros over a period of three years from the R&D scheme for the Einstein Telescope, financed by the Dutch National Growth Fund. Vibration-free cooling to very low temperatures is necessary to detect the very weak signals from space. The three parties have a lot of fundamental knowledge and industrial expertise in vibration-free cooling. They are now using this to make the measurements much more accurate, for a better understanding of extreme events deep in the universe.

Physical and financial room to operate Demcon Innovation Fund is investing in Spatium Medical, the Erasmus MC spin-off that has developed an innovative insufflator. During a laparoscopy, this pump delivers carbon dioxide into the abdominal cavity to expose the organs and create room for the surgeon to work. The Smart Insufflator has unique characteristics that allow the surgeon to select the right pressure for every patient. As a result, patients experience fewer post-operative complaints. It also makes it possible to operate on vulnerable patients. Demcon life sciences & health already contributes to the product development, while Demcon production is ready to begin serial production. Now Demcon Innovation Fund is participating in a five-million-euro investment round to fund product development all the way to certification. The Smart Insufflator is scheduled to be released on the market in 2026, following clinical evaluation.
