Van Oord carries out hydrographic inspections to accurately survey the bed profile for dredging and other maritime works. Due to space or environmental constraints, manned boats (sounding boats) cannot be deployed everywhere, for example in cofferdams, drinking water basins and nature conservation areas. Demcon unmanned systems – part of technology developer and producer Demcon – develops robust, unmanned and autonomously sailing inspection platforms for this purpose. These fully electrically driven vessels help make operations more sustainable and promote the digitalization of processes. Van Oord recently placed an order for a second platform with Demcon unmanned systems. “Our technology has proven itself in their first system and we are now in discussion about applications on a broader front.”

In the coming years, at Demcon, we will be committed to technology solutions for future-proof fruit cultivation in the Orchard of the Future project. Yesterday we signed this cooperation agreement together with 30 other parties in the Netherlands and the US. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration! More about our activities in agrifood systems soon.

Demcon has been ISO 45001 certified since this month. This certificate is the management system for working safely and in good health and concerns human well-being. It has been implemented for all Demcon companies. The certificate has been issued for the Demcon holding, Demcon advanced mechatronics, Demcon metal injection moulding and Demcon production.

Technology developer and producer Demcon has presented an ambitious vision for the future. Demcon had its start in 1993 as a spin-off of the University of Twente and today has over 750 employees and locations in four countries. The company has grand plans for the Demcon Campus in Enschede. The Campus provide space for further growth in an inspiring working environment with the potential of contributing to reinforcing the Twente region’s economy. This is how CEO Dennis Schipper wants to give back to the region what he himself and his company have received over many years. “We are able to show that things happen here. That tomorrow here already starts today.”
