Vinçotte, member of the KIWA group, was contracted by Belgoprocess for visual inspection and thickness measurements of bunkered storage tanks at their wastewater treatment plant on site 2. Due to the ionizing radiation and the risk of radioactive contamination, a remote inspection with industrial robotics was the logical solution.

On Wednesday, October 26, we were among the 8 finalists for the 5th edition of the Asset Performance Awards 2023 in Antwerp, organized by BEMAS (Belgian Maintenance Association), where we presented our "Smart Tools for a Digital Future".

In a world of change, it is normal that safety inspection regulations are regularly revised and expanded. Careful inspection planning that considers this changing legislation can take a lot of time.

Vinçotte’s inspection operations will benefit from hibot’s revolutionary robotic systems.

In 2022, Port of Antwerp-Bruges, the second largest port in Europe, opted for Digi-Tags, Vinçotte's digital asset safety management and tagging system.

Schneider Electric (SE) is a leader in the digitalisation of energy management and industrial automation, from consulting on energy and sustainability to optimisation of the asset lifecycle. SE offers many solutions as their technologies help companies to achieve greater efficiency, lower costs, and help meet sustainability goals. In the summer of '22, SE decided to start rolling out Digi-Tags.

Gheysens Smart Lifting specialises in industrial removal, crane rental, specialist transport and transport of art. Most importantly, they form a team of experienced experts who are not afraid of a challenge. Being a family-run business, they also do everything they can to ensure that they optimise their safety and operations.

Hydrogen is a key pillar of the European Green deal and in July 2020, the European Commission proposed a hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe. More than €25 billion has already been reserved for this. The desire to become independent of Russian gas is going to further accelerate the conversion of gas to hydrogen.

At Milcobel the Digi-Tags solution was implemented on lifting equipment inspected by Vinçotte which improved the auditing process in their Langemark site.

VINÇOTTE is nominated for the DataNews 2023 Awards for Excellence (category 9) as Enterprise Application Innovator of the Year! That makes us very proud but we would even be more proud if we could win an ICT award as a non-ICT company… and therefore we need YOUR support.
