Welcome!With pride, we welcome you to the first ever Smart Solutions Festival. We hope this Festival will inspire

you on what you can achieve while doing research in interprofessional teams, be it as student, lecturer,

researcher, or company.

Saxion is an internationally oriented University of Applied Science and we aim to educate smart practitioners.

With research and education, we teach our students to bridge the gap between technology and application.

Specifically, in the Smart Solutions Semester, students, lecturers, researchers, companies, government

and NGO’s have the opportunity to cooperate and do research in interprofessional and international teams.

Research with a special focus on the impact of technology on living, working and well-being of people. We

believe this interprofessional setting provides a firm basis for innovation, creativity and out-of-the-box new

insights for current and future challenges.

In our project teams, students and lecturers with a background in for example Mechanical Engineering work

together with students who have a background in Fashion and Textile Technologies. Or students in Small

Business and Retail Management cooperate with students in Software Engineering and Biology and Medical

Laboratory Research. It takes some time to get to know each other, find common ground and value the

different field of knowledge. But these unusual mixes can lead to great and unexpected results!

The interprofessional teams that are currently participating in the Smart Solutions Semester (September

2017 – January 2018) will present the results from their projects in 10 “Worlds of Innovation”. More than 550

students worked on close to 100 projects from companies and Saxion Research Groups.

And what a diversity of projects! Ranging from 3D printing of Concrete, Metal and Textiles to Nanotechnology

in Health, Big Data in Security to Sustainability in Fashion, Drug Detection in Water to Smart Homes and new

building technologies.

Want to know what challenges and projects are ahead of you in the next semester? Companies and Saxion

Research Groups are available to discuss the projects available for the next semester on the Smart Solutions

Project Market.

We hope you are inspired. Are you ready for a Smart World?

On behalf of the participating Saxion Schools

Karin Verschoor, School of Commerce and Entrepreneurship

Mirjam Koster, School of Creative Technology

Peter van Dam, School of Life Science, Engineering and Design

Raimond Bartelink, School of Business and Building Technology

Companies in the industry have an ever-growing need for professionals who can collaborate successfully, people who can operate in inter-professional teams, each based on their own background and experience. After all, that’s how groundbreaking ideas are formed!

WORKING ON ACTUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECTSIn the Smart Solutions Semester, students from several study programs work together in inter-professional teams, on real-life assignments. Key words are innovation, creativity, co-creation and of course cooperation. Even if it is an education module, we create a setting that reflects a professional work situation.

The project assignments are coming from companies, government, NGO’s or Saxion research groups, complemented with running research programs from the participating Saxion courses.

Each team consists of a mix of disciplines, experience, insights and talents. For 24 weeks, the teams work together, in close cooperation with their tutors and clients, on innovative projects.

OUR STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES:Bo de Lange (Fashion and Textile Technologies): “My best experience in this project was that we have had our own chores within our field, but that we especially learnt how to look at the field of the other student (from another study) and approach it in a different and creative way. While we have two students from Sweden in our group this is a challenge but more important it gave us even more possibilities to get insight of an even broader prospective than only the Dutch prospective.”

SMART WORLD!

CYBERSECURITY ON-BOARD OF FUTURE NAVAL SHIPS

Project team:• Roy Lenferink - Software Engineering• Bas Siegerink - Software Engineering• Özgür Durak - Software Engineering• Daan Bosch - IT Service Management• Calvin Barelds - IT Service Management• Jord Pool - IT Service Management

Client:

Thales Nederland

Project in shortThe project is focused on the investigation of security of the systems supporting containerized virtualization. The project started by getting familiar with IT security and is followed by researching containerized environments. It is our goal to describe the best possible solutions to improve security of a containerized environment that is realized with either CoreOS or Project Atomic.

Challenges aheadDifferent project-management methods had to be learnt. At first, we had to get familiar with each others way of working, but at the end working in a multidisciplinary team is very much recommended. This way it is almost always possible to solve a problem.

FIREBLANKETS

Project team:• Mathijs van Gijtenbeek - Forensic Science• Peter Kok - Forensic Science• Jochem Lowiessen - Forensic Science• Thomas Mijnders - Chemistry /

Crime Science

Client: • Fireblanket - Karin van Beurden• Firetexx - Arjan Beertema

Project in shortAre fireblankets an appropriate mean to extinguish oil/grease fires? After testing in 2014, according to the EN 1869 standard, 21 out of 22 tested blankets failed these tests. The Netherlands food and consumer product safety authority (NVWA) had two major conclusions:• Fire blankets are no appropriate mean to extinguish

oil fires.• The EN 1869 standard needs to be improved. It leaves

too much space for interpretation, does not describe certain important features of the testing setup and does not represent a practical scenario.

The companies Fireblanket and Firetexx started a collaboration to improve the fire blankets. A new, flexible and coated blanket was developed and passed the EN 1869 standard tests in 2017.

The goals of this project team are• Develop multiple tests that represent ‘real life’

scenarios.• Test the new blanket according to these scenarios.• Develop an improved standard to confince the NVWA

to have another look into the fire blankets product.

Challenges ahead• Test new and old fireblankets in different practical

scenarios.• Develop an improved standard for fireblankets.

“ARE FIREBLANKETSAN APPROPRIATE MEANTO EXTINGUISH OIL/GREASE FIRES?”

“AT THE END WORKING IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM

IS VERY MUCH RECOMMENDED.”

Client:

Sigmax Field Mobility

Project in shortGoal of this project is to redesign the User Interface of a field mobility application that is being used by over 3000 professionals daily. Since these workers primarily carry out tasks in the field-service domain, a simple and comprehensive User Experience (UX) is an essential constraint throughout this project.

This project is divided into a research-driven part and a designing/developing part. Research is conducted both in fieldwork and desk research. Primary objectives of the research are validating usability of both the current and the new application as well as exploring implementation strategies for the redesign of this Sigmax product.

The outcome of this research is translated in the design of the new Sigmax Field Mobility application, that will be released as a proof-of-concept (PoC). This PoC is being validated throughout the project by carrying out usability tests among potential users.

Challenges aheadOur first goal; A PoC that fits the current product perfectly, turned out to be too time consuming.After consulting Sigmax with this dilemma, the decision was made to separate the PoC from the codebase. The remaining amount of work is significant, but we look forward to a successful PoC!

“THIS PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO A

RESEARCH-DRIVENPART AND A DESIGNING/

DEVELOPING PART.”

Project in shortDuring this project a knee brace will be developed. This knee brace is part of a soft biometric exoskeleton to assist people with muscle deficiency. The main goal of the project is to develop a soft knee brace which will be comfortable to wear. To produce a good knee brace it is important to make a design in which the GRPP is printed in the right places to provide the best support. To print the GRPP on the knee brace a UR05 robotic arm in combination with a turning table will be used. So it becomes possible to print the GRPP at the right places. The current bonding between the GRPP and the used textile is not strong enough. This needs to be reinforced to withstand the forces that will be applied to the brace. By combining the improvement in bonding strength together with the design of the knee brace a comfortable and strong knee brace will be developed.

Challenges aheadTo produce a good knee brace the design will be optimized so the support will be in the right places and the brace is comfortable. Furthermore the bonding strength will be improved by testing different options; mechanically and chemically.

Project in shortThe healthcare sector is one of the most important businesses in the Netherlands. However, there are still a number of opportunities for innovations within this sector. After doing research in the healthcare sector, we came to the conclusion that there are a number of problems within the current nursing clothes. The problems that occur currently are; ink stains in the nursing clothes - which will not go out -, recyclable process and comfort. In this Smart Solutions Project all aspects like, design, comfort and materials are processed in the new prototypes.

Challenges ahead Currently challenges ahead is doing lab research for the right coating and material. The right coating, material but also design had to meet the hospital requirements, which are very strict. After doing this research, there is room to think about marketing tools and recommendations.

Project in shortIn the EU-region, there is a strive to have better use of biomass for sustainable energy. Therefore, the project ’Green Gold’ has been started. Green gold is a project which focuses on the use of biomass as a sustainable alternative for oil. Ash is besides oil an end product of a pyrolyzing process. Currently, further processing of ashes has a negative economic impact on the whole pyrolysis process and thus also on the oil production. The ashes contain a lot of potassium, calcium and other valuable elements.

This research will investigate the composition of ash from three different biomass ashes. Additional, the ash will be improved for further processing. Ash is a topic that costs a lot of money at the moment. The purpose of this project is to give the ash more economic value.

Challenges aheadThe challenge after analyzing the ash composition is creating a list of realistic and achievable solutions to upgrade the ashes. After the options are examined, the best solution will be selected for further research.

Project in shortIn the 4th year of the Textile Engineering and Management course we are joining the living technology project. We were assigned to develop a fashion collection that includes a textile innovation for a chosen company.

Together with the company we decided to do a market extension in the form of a gym apparel collection for the brand Avior. Our collection focuses on men, belonging to generation Y and is characterized as fashionable, trend sensitive and social media affine. All tops are provided with a magnet in order to attach Bluetooth headphones or a supportive neck cushion for heavy barbells. Moreover the whole collection is made out of high quality materials with a smart and functional finish that reacts to body temperature. In addition to that the pockets of the bottom parts guarantee comfortable barbell workout while keeping the smartphone firm.

In the end the outcome will be a highly innovative, fashionable collection with smart and functional details.

Challenges aheadOur upcoming challenges will be to develop a heat reactive print that makes the collection even more unique and reflects and the superior taste of our sophisticated target group. Moreover we are doing a professional photoshoot and create a lookbook.

Project in shortSaxion has the ambition to achieve a higher level of information security. This has led to the creation of a project in which vulnerabilities with regard to Information Security and Privacy are minimized or prevented. To provide insight into vulnerabilities, vulnerability scans are performed. However, these scans do not always reveal the correct vulnerabilities. This is the reason that Saxion has chosen to carry out additional penetration tests through external parties. For these parties, we will draw up a checklist so that each step will be carried out.

Challenges in ahead• Creating a checklist for penetration testing• Creating a non-disclosure agreement • Creating a communication plan

Project in shortIn this project, research has been done to scent cloths of Cold Case team Amsterdam. Until 2006 these scent cloths were used in scent identification tests with police dogs. The scent identification tests are no longer seen as admissible evidence in court since 2006, because the dogs were influenceable. The scent cloths of several unsolved cases (Cold Cases) are still stored and may contain cells from the perpetrator. First, these cells must be made visible using a forensic light source, Propidium Iodide and a (fluorescence) microscope. Then a single cell can be isolated using a micromanipulator. After that, the DNA of the single cell can be isolated, amplified and quantified with kits designed especially for single cells. In the end a DNA profile can be made with the isolated, amplified and quantified DNA.

Challenges aheadAn interesting area on the scent cloth is selected with a forensic light source, when dots light up, this is no guarantee that these dots are cells. In addition, the visualization of a cell under a light microscope in combination with a forensic light source has not yet succeeded, so a single cell can not be isolated with a micromanipulator. That is why this is a big challenge for us and for next groups.

Project in shortThe fishing industry is a lucrative business, however it has different downsides. Yearly approximately 640,000 tons of fishing nets are dumped into the oceans, damaging its ecosystem and marine life. Foundation World Healthy Ocean Netherlands is aware of this problem and aims at freeing the oceans from the plastic waste to ensure a safe natural habitat for plants and animals in future.

The goal of this project is to investigate the possible reuse applications of the fishing nets that do not fulfil the original purpose anymore and give them the second life. Moreover, a few prototypes shall be developed to visualize the validity of product ideas. The team is very enthusiastic about the outcome of the project and determined to make three different prototypes, namely a bike trash bin, a coffee table and a stone bag used in geotextiles, to show the big potential and versatility of the whole reuse concept.

Challenges aheadIt goes without saying that this project is quite challenging as the team aims to make innovative, but at the same time sustainable products. It means that the goal is to use as much discarded fishing nets as possible without relying too much on secondary materials or extra processes.

Project in shortWe of Cybelle want to help the women who lost their breast due to cancer to give them a fair chance. The current market is polluted by prostheses who want to imitate real breasts but without much innovation. The research has shown that the current prostheses are heavy and sweaty. Furthermore, there is not enough choice in bras and prostheses. We want to make a change by giving the survivors more autonomy by giving them the option to customize their bra and prosthesis.

A 3D model of the breast is created by using a scanning device or pictures from different angles. The women can choose from 2 different construction methods: 2D laser cutting or 3D printing. Within 2D laser cutting there are two types to choose from. In total women can choose from 3 options. Furthermore, women can choose their desired material and colour. The 2D laser cut breasts can be delivered in a mailbox package.

Challenges aheadOur challenges are the following:• Make a complete concept which fit the requirements

that came out of the research.• For the future more research on 3D printing with

silicones

Project in short Neurons are able to communicate with each other and with various other cell types through electrical and chemical signaling, allowing fast transfer of the signal across great distances (meters). To be able to function, neurons are highly dependent on their protective myelin sheath. Without myelin, effective and fast communication is impossible. In fact, loss of the protective myelin sheath results in rapid decay of axons and neuronal loss.In many neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson, Alzheimer, MS) repair of myelin damage is hardly seen and in the progressive phase of the disease no sign of recovery has been observed whatsoever. Promoting the differentiation of oligodendrocytes into myelin producing cells is one of the great challenges that neuroscientists currently face.

The goal for this project is to find new ways to stimulate brain cells, in order to promote damage repair.

Challenges ahead To differentiate oligodendrocyte progenitor cells to the myelinating stage.

Project in short The project focussed on how to tackle math induced anxiety within Aventus MBO. The group has students from three different studypaths and the group looked at the problems from different angles. The group programmed a NAO-robot to use for our purposes, which was helping a student focus on helping the robot instead of working on a math test. The two BML students did some lab research that tried to find out if the cortisol of the MBO students would go down when working with the robot instead of a math test.

The group also focussed on getting the robot out in the world. By showing it in classrooms and at different fairs. All different studies got their spotlights, and working multidisciplinary gives the group a better understanding at both each other and the project itself. Come by our booth and we’ll tell you all about the project!

Challenges aheadThe project in the first semester was a start-up and focussed on how a robot could be programmed and used, and while the current group found a method that might work it’s not nearly what could be achieved. There’s a lot of creative processing that can still be done.

Project in short Many visually impaired people experience difficulties while shopping for clothing. These people are partially blind and therefore have difficulty identifying clothing, colours and labels. However, these people also want to keep their independence and choose their clothes themselves, and this is often not possible at this time. With this project we want to make it possible to support this unique target group while shopping for clothing. The goal is to create an ideal collection with unique features that is fashionable and innovative. Fashion is all about appearance. Therefore, a collection for visually impaired people is not that obvious. We were wondering how to make a collection for this target group that is especially attractive for them, a collection that can speak to their other senses for example but without standing out from what everybody else is wearing.

Ernsting’s family, Coesfeld, Germany

Project in short In the frame of this project our group analyzed the product development process steps of an Ernsting’s family garment and a 3D- printed product and evaluated the amount of sustainability of each process. With this information we could define how a 3D- print can be integrated into an Ernsting’s family development process. Based on the outcome of the project research we designed and produced a collection for Ernsting’s family. It is a Spring/Summer collection for the year 2030 where we combine futuristic own designed pieces with current garments of Ernsting’s family and 3D printed elements. Therefore we made both flexible and non-flexible 3D- prints on our own at Saxion to integrate them into the final collection pieces.

Challenges aheadFinding solutions matching Ernsting’s familiy’s identity for the year 2030 with integrated 3D-prints. 3D-printing is expensive and time-sonsuming in production. But it was our goal to present realistic solutions how a company offering low-priced garments, which is not high fashion, could integrate innovative 3D-printing-techniques within their collections in the future.

Project in short Our project is all about building in a new way. We have to design a Tiny House, with an entrance, a meeting room and an office space. With all that, we have to think about building a façade from biobased composites. Biobased composites are bio fibers combined with bio resin, which results in a strong material. These biobased façade elements have to be modular and replaceable with other elements. A wall-element can be replaced with a window-element and vice versa. Our part in this project is designing the tiny lab and comparing a normal façade to a façade-element made from biobased composites. We also need to find a way to create a good airtight connection between the biobased elements.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge ahead is testing the façade elements to each other. We have to make a good measuring setup with a small change of failure. With the results of that test we can make a conclusion if the biobased elements are good enough for a buildable façade.

Project in short A lot of women are not satisfied with their current breast prosthesis. The silicones are too heavy, too sweaty and move around. Furthermore, the current mastectomy bras are too expensive, old fashioned and there is too little variation.

The cause for this is the saturation of the market with normal silicone bra fillers. The market has not been innovative since the introduction of these prostheses.

BeIntimate is a concept that truly listens to the women. Confidence, intimacy and taboo-breaking are words which describe the concept. Women can choose to wear a body shaper, to take control of their figure. The prosthesis is temperature-regulating so that the women don’t have to feel self-conscious about additional sweat anymore. The prosthesis can be taken off on any occasion, for example, while being intimate. The freedom of the option between wearing a prosthesis or not is one step further in breaking the taboo.

Challenges aheadMoving forward, we will have to focus on the materialisation. What are the measurements for different sizes? What materials do we use? Then the last challenge will be making the product economically feasible. What will be the price? How do we distribute the product? After this, the project is accomplished.“CONFIDENCE, INTIMACY AND

TABOO-BREAKING ARE WORDS WHICH DESCRIBE THE CONCEPT.”

Project in short The goal of this project is to build a microscope that can count bacteria in real time automatically. Bacteria are very small and therefore difficult to count with a microscope. Yeast is slightly larger, thus making it easier to count. Therefore, the first goal of this project is to count yeast with the newly developed microscope as a function of time. After validation of the developed microscope with the MuseTM using the paired t-test, the possibility to count bacteria with the developed microscope will be examined.

Challenges aheadThe next challenges for this project is to improve and expand the possibilities. The new possibilities we are thinking of are: recognizing the micro-organism, staging yeast while counting them and counting bacteria.

PROJECT HORSEFLOWER

Project team:• Quinten Bilion• Job Grote Beverborg• Peter Pluijgers• Geneva Wenno

Project in short In Project Horseflower, the goal is to create a virtual crime scene designed as an intermediate step between theory and practice. It is an alternative for the current method of testing the students’ knowledge of their roles on a real crime scene. At this moment, in order to put the students’ knowledge into practice, it is required to reserve a room, recreate a crime scene and, afterwards, to clean it up. With Project Horseflower, these steps will be replaced by a simple test on a computer by means of a simulation. The student will be put on a virtual crime scene with a specially made scenario, in which a murder was committed. It is up to the student to collect evidence and figure out what happened to the victim. Interested in playing a demo? Come to our stand in “the forest”!

Saxion’s Chair “Industrial Design”

Project in short The 3D concrete printer project, called “Konkreet”, is aiming to improve the previously self-made and operational mixing installation (“Konkreator”), and the three axis 3D concrete printing system.

Improvements had to be made to the printer and the printing process in order to allow for the reliable and repeatable printing of concrete objects.

Subjects like height measurement feedback loops and developing a quickly setting concrete are all part of this. Therefore the current SSS-semester’s group exists of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering.

With support of many companies, and thus a lot of knowledge, progress has been made and a near completed self-made mix and 3D concrete printing installation is the result.

Challenges aheadOptimizing the current concrete recipe, obtaining a printable mortar with higher post-print strength.

Integrate sensors to create a feedback system based on height and slump of concrete; increasing reliability of the printer

Optimize the Konkreator during testing period, regarding optimal mixing time, speed, etc.

Project in short Greensource is a project currently running to create clean drinking water in South Africa by using a membrane filtration system, in which our part is to find a failsafe solution to test the membranes of the current system and someone without a technical background should be able to work with this system. We are currently working to make an automated test which can work with a traffic light principle to show its results. There has to be a second test if the light shows orange which should work on a different principle as a backup for the first one.

Challenges aheadThere still has to be a second test, which both have to be automated. After this they would have to be embedded into the real system which is currently running in Africa. And as a final challenge all of the systems involved have to be working with 1 control program.

outcome of this research is to create a textile-like structure that can be 3D printed, presented in a garment made with our own filament made from recycled plastics. In the pictures you can see some samples of the 3D printed textile-like structures and a sketch of our final prototype.

Challenges aheadMaking our own printable filament is one challenge we are facing because there are restrictions concerning finding the right material and the availability of machinery and experimenting facilities. This includes the lab and the 3D printers. Within the 3D printing process we are challenged to find the right settings for the printer in order to reach the desired outcome.

Project in short The project ‘Making textile-like structures from 3D printing recycled plastic’ offers a big field for research. The motivation for this research is based on our interest in the field of 3D printing textiles in consideration of the environmental impact. Besides the environmental aspect, we have created sub topics: Design, 3D printing and recycling, which together form the scope of the project. Within the design we are working on new textile-like structures, which are flexible and comfortable. The designed structures are then 3D printed. Besides this we are focusing on developing a filament for 3D printing, which is made out of recycled plastics. Our desired

Voortman Steel Machinery

Project in short Voortman Steel Machinery especially requests a robust system for continuous detection of metal objects. The main goal of this project is to create a proof of concept of a vision system which can identify different plasma cut products and detect the position and orientation of these metal products on a metal conveyor belt. The metal on metal case results in low contrast, this means also bad images to identify products from. To eventually realize the proof of concept, there will mainly be looked at two improvement points:• The illumination of the belt and the products to enhance

contrast and prevent reflections.• The software of the detection program. Research regarding (polarization)filters and/or the alteration of the light source(s) will be carried out to improve the contrast of the metal parts on the conveyor belt and reduce specular reflections.

Challenges aheadThe challenge at this moment is the choice of the right illumination of the belt. Different types of illuminations and the use of filters are going to be tested and using software, the best illumination gets chosen. The software also must be written to get a result from the images.

Client:

Chair Sustainable Energy Systems

& Sound Energy BV

Project in short Did you know that a building can be cooled by using solar heat? Sound Energy BV achieves this with their Thermal Acoustic Energy Converter (THEAC-25). This device converts thermal energy (heat) into cooling power by generating sound waves. These sound waves are then used to generate cooling power via the Stirling cycle principle. The goal of this research was to develop a numerical model of the THEAC-25 and test if the THEAC-25 can meet the sensible cooling load of Business Centre Utopia. The outcome of this project contains two models: One that describes the performance of the THEAC-25 in combination with solar collectors and one virtual building model that represents Business Centre Utopia that simulates the sensible cooling load of that building. When combining these two models a performance evaluation can be made to evaluate how the THEAC-25 will perform in that specific building and climate.

Challenges aheadImplement and test the numerical model of the THEAC-25 in the virtual building model of Business Centre Utopia. Further research can be done on verifying the numerical model of the THEAC-25 and Business Centre Utopia with measurement data.

Project in short SMART Base is a project for developing a military base somewhere in the Netherlands from scrap, to, in other words, the base of the future. In the SMART Base, the ministry of defense is working with several companies in the Netherlands. The companies will be able to provide improvements to military camps, and at the end of the project all the improvements will be introduced into a military camp. The improvements vary from four different themes: protection, energy, water and support & services. Jotem will be working on two of the four themes; energy and water. Jotem is developing an anaerobic wastewater treatment plant inside a sea-container (for easy movement), using an AnMBR. An AnMBR produces biogas in addition to clean water using ultrafiltration membranes. The gas can be burned to provide power for the generators and therefore produces energy. This makes it a self-sustaining system.

Challenges ahead• Decreasing size of organic matter in black water

(polluted feed water for the AnMBR) to avoid clogging in the system and;

• Finding a different software system (non Windows-based) to replace the PLC for easier maintenance.

“THE WEBSITES ON THE DARK WEB WHERE ILLEGAL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD, ARE CALLED DARK MARKETS.”

Project in short There is a place where guns and drugs are sold, child pornography is shown, hitman services are offered and counterfeit legal documents are obtained. It exists on the internet in a hidden section called the dark web. This place is only accessible through a special anonymous web browser. As a result of the anonymity, there are criminals who have set up businesses on the dark web, offering guns, drugs and illegal services. The websites on the dark web where illegal products are sold, are called dark markets.

The client wants to teach Forensic Science students about the dark web. There is a need for a safe way to introduce students to the dark web and let them experiment with it, without them having to go on the actual dark web.

Challenges aheadThe goal of this project is to develop a simulation of the dark web so students have a safe and interactive way to learn about it. A reader is composed in addition to that.

What still needs to be done:• Expand dark market• Correct and finish reader• Set up lessons

Smart Functional Materials

Project in short The Smart Functional Materials (SFM) group started a project called ‘Texenergie’. This project focuses on combining solar energy and textiles.Our group continued the project after Avans Hogeschool did a market research to find out which market is best to focus on for SFM. The outcome showed that the hospitality market is the most suitable when considering technical feasibility and market attractiveness. From here, our group started researching the Dutch hospitality market to find a product that is most suitable for combining solar harvesting technology with textiles. We chose to design an awning/sun shade with integrated solar cells and LED light, to create a cozy ambience for the outdoor space and terraces.To realise our idea into a functioning prototype, we started with designs. We didn’t want to disguise the solar cells, instead we came up with design that highlighted them to showcase the technology.

Challenges aheadWe tested all the components separately, now we face the challenge to combine them all into one working prototype. We will be using the embroidery machine to create the cell circuit and LED circuit. Since we have not used this machine before, we expect to run into some obstacles.

Project in short Developing the regions Twente, Paramaribo and Kimberly-Richie. That is the aim of this five-year project. We were the first group to work on this project. The group consisted of students from different fields of study. The first six weeks, the multidisciplinary team analysed the region of Twente. Then, the team was split into two separate groups. One group went to South-Africa, the other group went to Suriname to research the different regions. Research was done by doing interviews with organisations, companies, schools and inhabitants who are related to the regions. There are several topics that can contribute to the regional development. We all chose our own topics in which we wanted to gain more knowledge. We focussed on tourism, safety, start-ups, education and Corporate Social Responsibility. Besides the project, we learned a lot about cultural differences and other barriers that you will face when working abroad.

Challenges aheadWe had to work in a multidiscipline team. Everyone had their own thoughts about doing research. Furthermore, by going abroad we had to take off our European glasses. By being the first group of this five year project, it wasn’t always that easy, because we didn’t know what to expect.

“THE MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS MADE BYPM BEARINGS USE MANY CABLES.”

Project in short The client is PM, they are an independent, family-owned company specialized in the design of precision linear guides and slides as well as complete, high-accuracy positioning systems. The mechatronic systems made by PM Bearings use many cables. The assembly of the cable is done manually by employees. To ensure that the quality of the cable meets the given requirements, a tensile test is applied to the cable connections. To test if the connectors are assembled correctly, one connector of the cable is slid on a bolt and a weight is hanged on the other connector as shown in the picture. Currently, no test results are documented. PM Bearings wants to document all test reports to add traceability for all tested cables. This is necessary to forestall claims. They want to be able to proof that their cables passed the test and cannot be blamed.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenges are to make correct construction drawings so PM can make the parts for us and the software we have to implement in the system. If this is ready, we can start the assembly of the product and testing the end product.

Client:

R. Passie - University of Twente

V. Schwach - University of Twente

Project in short A heart-on-a-chip replicates the in vivo cardiac tissue environments. To create a heart-on-a-chip, stem cells need to be differentiated to cardiomyocytes. During differentiation of cardiomyocytes, different subtypes are generated. To direct differentiation into one specific subtype, the molecular mechanisms of differentiation need to be investigated. A reporter cell line could be useful to study these mechanisms. In a reporter line, a fluorescent protein is inserted into a gene of interest, by which expression of the gene can be monitored. The beating of the heart is regulated by electrical impulses, originating from the Sinoatrial Node (SAN). The SAN consists of cardiomyocytes from the pacemaker subtype. The goal for our project is to create a reporter cell line specific for the pacemaker subtype of cardiomyocytes. The reporter line will be made with the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technique which is capable of modifying genes in a precise and efficient manner.

Challenges aheadThe real challenge is to build the DNA plasmids used to insert the fluorescent protein into the gene of interest. It is difficult to create all the fragments.

Project in short Sustainability in construction is very important for the future and needs to be improved in the next 50 years. Therefore, we investigate different possibilities to make the constructions more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Two coatings are already proven to be successful, but there is always room for improvement. The coatings which are investigated are the Biofinish and Polypyrrole and were investigated by our team. The Biofinish is based on a fungus that is 100% sustainable. Polypyrrole is also sustainable and is based on the formation of connections between the pyrrole molecules. Different experiments were carried out, such as the influence of flame retardants on the Biofinish and the reaction between wood and Polypyrrole. Our results will be presented at the Smart Solutions Festival. If you want to know how we can improve the sustainability, come check our poster at the Smart Solutions Festival on January the 16th!

Challenges aheadIn the next few weeks the last experiments will be carried out. These experiments are already started, but have yet to be completed. After these experiments the results will be processed. Finally we will present our results at the Smart Solutions Festival.

Project in short Commissioned by Noppies we started working on sustainability. Specifically, sustainability in materials. Among the company itself, there is a lack of knowledge on what is truly sustainable. Being more environmental friendly is easier said than done. Noppies needs a laid out plan that they can execute to fully commit to sustainability. Besides sustainability in materials one can also be sustainable in the usage of a garment. Therefore, we are developing an innovative and sustainable maternity jeans. Normally maternity jeans are an unsustainable and expensive matter because even though the jeans is not worn out yet, women do not longer need the supporting belly cover. By this observation, we decided to investigate the possibilities of a maternity jeans with a detachable waistband, enabling the women to wear the jeans after the pregnancy.

Challenges aheadIn the final weeks we need to implement several detachable options for the waistband and test which one is the most suitable and does not cause a loss of comfortability. Regarding the sustainability in materials subject, there is lots of information and possibilities but it needs to be formulated in doable recommendations.

Project in short A so-called demonstrator needs to be developed in the context of this project. With this demonstrator various facets from the ONS-BIO project come together to form a single entity. With the demonstrator, acetone can be measured. The acetone level from human skin is important to know how your metabolism is working. The acetone excreted by human skin (in the order of a few ppm) is below the detection limit of the sensor. By adding a component that accumulates the acetone and releases it in one go, then the acetone can be measured. This can help people with diabetes, athletes and those who want to lose weight.

Challenges aheadThe next group can optimize the dimensions of the device in comparison with the current one. Performing the measurements to look if the device can measurements to look if the device can measure acetone levels on human skin.

Project in short Join the pipe is a company that has a vision about plastic waste. Join the pipe wants to get rid of one use only plastics like bottles. The problem is that al our plastic waste goes to India, Asia, Afrika and other less developed countries. So as long as we do not have the problem in western Europe we just do not care about it. India is flooded in plastic soup we made.

Saxion develops a water bottle dispenser in collaboration with Join the Pipe. The bottle dispenser will be used for promotion purposes. The water bottle dispenser has to be custom made from sheet metal. The dispenser should hand out cooled, filled and reusable water bottles.

The goal is to have a working prototype that is ready for testing at the end of this project.

Challenges aheadWe have had several problems with this project. There were problems with constructing the sheet metal body, the strength of the body was a big problem in combination with the insulation. Separating of the cold and hot spaces was difficult, because of the warmth bridges.

Project in short EIT Digital University is not yet self-sufficient, this will have to change if they are to be profitable by the year 2020. At present, the university does not have a working marketing strategy with which they generate enough registrations. Potential students who are not sure about their choice of study, also called doubters, are not yet optimally approached by the university via social media. The reason for this is that there is still no clear picture of who the influencers are and how these influencers can be used to convince the doubting students to enroll at the university. We will be using Twitter data to map and analyze these networks. And with a marketing strategy to target these key influencers to generate more enrollments.

Client:

International Water Technology

Project in short The consumption and production of medicines and illicit drugs remain as a serious problem in many countries. Use of medicines in the Netherlands has increased by 2,9 percent in 2015. As a result, the life bettering drugs pollute the environment and the drinking water, which raises safety questions. An recent example is the effect of estradiol on fish. The concentration of this hormone is high enough to adjust the sex characteristics of fish.

Despite the many developments of membrane filtration of sewage water, it is important to check the filtration system with a simple test to measure the concentration of medicines and illicit drugs. Moreover, forbidden laboratories which synthesize illicit drugs could be mapped by the police. Therefore, biosensors and chemo sensors provide solutions.

Challenges aheadCreating an estradiol biosensor and an aspirin biosensor using BioBricks which can measure concentration differences. Optimizing the colorimetric chemo sensor for amphetamine compounds. Building a small device for the biosensor and chemo sensor. Making new sensors.

Project in short In today’s society drones are more often being used. Drones can be used for various applications like: inspecting bridges, analyzing critical places during forest fires, postal deliveries in low populated areas and of course spraying crops in agriculture. All these applications have one downside in common: the drone has to fly for a long amount of time. That is a big downside because the standard quadcopters and hexacopters have a low flight time because the battery is drained after 20 minutes. For the application agriculture this is a problem which can be solved by the use of a docking station that is able to recharge of change the battery. Our goal is to autonomously land on a docking station made by another project group. This must happen precisely and for all weather conditions.

Challenges aheadRight now we are in the realization phase of landing an UAV. This means the next challenges are ahead of us:• Developing control software for the UAV• Developing a sensory system with high precision• Integrating with GPS-RTK• Integrating with docking station• Autonomously land

Project in short In this project, the genetic metabolic disorder X-ALD is studied. X-ALD stands for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. It is a rare disease that affects the nervous system. The disease is caused by a defect in the DNA: the ALD protein, which functions as transporter of very long chain fatty acids, is missing. Consequently, very long chain fatty acids can not be broken down, which leads to accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in cells, tissues and organs. In the end, this leads to the destroy of the myelin sheaths surrounding the nerves and subsequently causes neurologic problems.

Challenges aheadDifferent yeast mutants will be created by using PCR. The mutants are grown on plates. Colonies are picked up and DNA is isolated and used for PCR. PCR-products are run on gel to distinct positive mutants from negative mutants. The beta-oxidation of the positive mutants is measured.

1.5% agarose gel of a control PCR in pxa2/adk2 and adk2 mutants. The ladder used is the TrackIt 100 bp ladder from Invitrogen. The high bands are negative mutants, the low bands are positive mutants.

Project in short Dead Denim is the name of a unique denim fashion brand. It’s called dead denim, because denim that is dead for their previous owner will be up cycled. This way it will get a new life for a new owner. One strong point of Dead Denim is that every item is unique, which makes it exclusive. Each item is made of different ‘dead’ denim, so using the exact same garments for each item is impossible. Customers will also know they are contributing to a better world by purchasing clothes of Dead Denim, because new resources will not be used. Besides that, the products of Dead Denim can all be recycled again, that way they will close the loop. Dead Denim will be inspired by the latest trends and every season there will be a new collection for women and men. Come and let Dead Denim show you their amazing Autumn Collection!

Challenges aheadCollecting old denim from consumers can be a challenge. To reach this goal, Dead Denim have to make sure that their name will be known among the people who stand for a better world and who follow the latest fashion trends. Noteworthy is that when consumers sent their old items, they will get a discount on their next purchase! So please help Dead Denim collect old denim and the world will look denimlicious!

Project in short Our client GEO gave us a lot of freedom, all they want is something that they can put on their website and show off. We brainstormed about all the possible subjects and then we settled on doing something with the flu, which ties in with GEO’s Public Health Surveillance branch of activity.So we made SickFlick, a web platform with easy-to-understand information about the flu, including a symptom checker, prevention & treatment information, epidemic notifications and a map with spread of the flu. This will help us create awareness about the dangers of the flu and will hopefully get more people motivated to get vaccinated.

Challenges aheadCurrently we are trying to get more sources for a more accurate flu spread map and to see if it’s possible to make predictions about the flu. We’re contacting official agencies but we’re also filtering and analyzing Dutch Tweets for a less conventional approach.

Winclove Probiotics B.V.

Project in short Obesity is a growing issue worldwide with over 600 million obese people around the globe. In general, the cause of obesity is a misbalance between the required and actual energy intake. Removing hunger sensation can result in less energy intake. Feeling satiated can be influenced by short chain fatty acids (SFCAs), produced by probiotic bacteria. When probiotic bacteria are taken orally, they will secrete SCFAs and these substances will affect the cells in the gut to produce a lot of anti-hunger hormones.

In this project, the stomach and intestines are also simulated. This is done by using a Gut model for the stomach and transition to the intestines and the Simulated Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) for simulating de intestines. These models are used to research the survivability of the probiotic bacteria in the organs.

Further used methods: Gas chromatography, Cell culturing, Bacteria stimulation, RNA isolation, (q)PCR and Gel electrophoresis.

Challenges aheadThe biggest challenge in this project is the use of the Gas Chromatograph. The SCFAs are not detected the right way. Therefore, a new method to detect the SCFAs has to be found. A possible method for this is High Pressure Liquid Chromatography.

Project in short Denimtex, a subsidiary company of Gebr. Van der Geest started developing the product Jeans on the wall in 2015. It’s an innovative and circular wall decoration made out of fiberized used jeans. DenimTex finished already several projects with Jeans on the Wall at location as the new circular ABN Amro Pavilion and Saxion University of Applied Sciences. Nevertheless, the innovation started only two years ago, there are still many problems to be solved and subjects that needs to be researched. We as Saxion students are asked to make Jeans on the wall ready for production on larger scale and to prove that it’s an environmentally friendly product.

Challenges aheadThe product might have a lot of extra benefits that haven’t been established yet. Benefits like moisture absorption, a healthier living environment or extra isolation. Further research should be done for this. Also, research in extending the looks and feel of the product could be done. Another challenge is to make the applying process easier by finding new applying techniques.

Project in short Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. Sixpence Label is not your regular designer label, but a label that spreads a message. Founded by eight students who know the negative sides of the fashion industry all too well, Sixpence aims to change the trend of overconsumption by reducing waste and changing the consumer’s attitude towards secondhand clothing. Sixpence up cycles old secondhand clothing by turning them into new and appealing clothes. With its upcoming collection, Sixpence wants to prove that it can be both fun and rewarding to work with old materials instead of throwing them away. During the catwalk show at the Smart Solution Festival Sixpence will present its collection, after which items will be auctioned off. All the money raised will be donated to a charity that positively changes the world of fashion.

Challenges aheadThe challenge Sixpence faces in the future is continuing to activate people as well as changing their attitudes towards secondhand clothing and waste culture in the fashion industry. The challenge is to create a movement instead of just a label.

Project in short Changes should be done in the foundry world. Foundries work with sand cores, which are used to create empty holes or spaces in mouldings. These sand cores are created with combining fine sand with a binder. These binders are organic binders, that burn when hot metal is poured over it and release toxic gases. The government want to reduce these binders, so Peak started looking for alternative inorganic binders. They found one that make it possible to recycle the sand, the binder and is not harmful for people and environment. The problem here lies in the process of making the sand cores. Hot air needs to be used instead of CO2 gas, which makes it a different process. We are optimizing this process to make these inorganic binders applicable for the sand core production.

Challenges aheadThe challenges that lie before us are producing the moulds for the production of sand cores. The main problem is that the sand has a small diameter and the material should be able to resist 200 ℃ and high wear-resistance so it produces at least 1.000 sand cores per mould.

NXFiltrationProject in short Developing a layer by layer nanofiltration membrane, which supports transverse flow. Nanofiltration is capable of removing medicines from water and the different types of layers can improve the efficiency. To change the layers, different kinds of polyelectrolytes are applied to the membrane. Due to the different types of polyelectrolytes the membrane can have a charge, which is part of the selective barrier.The transverse flow capability should give the opportunity to filter the same amount of water using less energy. Therefore, the membrane needs to be strong and needs to withstand higher pressures. Turbulent flow instead of laminar flow will occur which gives a different model to work with.

Challenges aheadDetermine effective types of polyelectrolytes and their capabilities. Making it possible to apply a transverse flow to a single fibre membrane, without breaking the fibre.

Project in short On the south slope of the Holterberg, eightteen care homes will be developed. This will be a community of elderly people above 65. A design for the care homes was made by an architect, we got the assessment to make this design circulair. With circulair we mean, that in 30 years the buildings will still be usefull for reuse. This means we have to design with materials and construction methods that fit in this mindset. To bring this assessment to a good end, we created a group of 5: two graduate students of construction management and three students of architecture and construction engineering. To make a circulair design we are focussing on the three mayor subjects of building: demolishing, construction and exploitation.

Challenges aheadIn the future the challenges will be to bring this project to an good end by communicating and working together in such a way that we can keep all the stakeholders satisfied.

“ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IS BECOMING A MAJOR PROBLEMWORLD-WIDE.”

“AN INNOVATIVE AND SIMULTANEOUSLYFASHIONABLE, COMMERCIAL PRODUCT.”

_ 0 9S K Y

Project in short Antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem world-wide. The use of antibiotics needs to be reduced as more and more bacterial infections become difficult to treat due to the resistance to specific antibiotics. An antibiotic kills or inhibits the growth of bacteria. It is used as a treatment for disease causing (pathogenic) bacteria but the antibiotic also affects the non-pathogenic bacteria, such as bacteria of the human gut flora like Prevotella species. Antibiotic treatment of bacteria, pathogenic or non-pathogenic, can cause mutations in the bacterial DNA resulting in antibiotic resistance. These mutations, also called resistance genes, can be exchanged between bacteria, developing antibiotic resistance in multiple bacterial species.

Challenges aheadThis project focuses on the isolation of bacteria from human faeces, which will need to be cultured under anaerobic conditions, the absence of oxygen. After isolation, antibiotic resistance and the presence of resistance genes will be determined.

The Fast fashion industry is a big problem: people buy lots of clothing for very low prices and get rid of it as soon as it is out of fashion and want something else. Sustainable clothing often has stigma of being boring and not fashionable. Our goal was to develop a sustainable collection, which is fashionable, fun and that will last a long time. This is a modular women’s collection which means different parts - like the sleeves, collars, and ruches - can be attached and detached on different clothing pieces. Do you have a hole in your sleeve? No need to go and buy a new shirt, attach a new one! Now you only need a few garments in your closet and you can mix and match some trendy outfits together.

Lectorate Industrial Design

Project in short The focus of our research is to investigate the possibilities of using generative design to create printable (concrete) components. We research the possibilities to coordinate 3D printers from the Building Information Model. By use of process mapping, we develop a new process, with the aim to abbreviate the current building process. This is the process from design to construction. An important factor in this research is the cooperation with partners, construction companies. These partners work together with Saxion on the subject of concrete 3D printing. These organisations are very useful in order to discuss our way of thinking and compare this to way the organisation is looking to this subject.

To optimize the current process, we will look into the possibilities of replacing the factor ‘human’ by computers. By creating parameters, the computer is able to generate a lot of possible components by using mathematic algorithms.

Challenges aheadDuring our research we have been visiting a lot of building related companies. So from now on we have to analyse the information which we have obtained by using different ways of data collection. The main question here is which information is useful for us to work towards a solution.

Project in short “UP to you” is a team that will make a statement to create awareness for giving used bra’s a new life. The statement that should be made with the collection is to arouse people that they should upcycle bras. It is up to them if they donate them or if they are really going to make something new out of it. The “UP to you” collection is an one-off womenswear collection that is fully made out of bra components. We collected more than 700 bras. We used the old bras that weren’t useful for consumers anymore and have been upcycled to make this exclusive collection. Each garment is unique because it is made of different components from all sorts of bras. The collection is meant to show people that they can do so much more with bras.

Challenges aheadAfter our project we hope that we have encouraged more people to do something with their old bra. We hope that we can show our collection during the Hunkemöller brand event. So we can reach more people and spread out our message. Do something with your old bra!

Project in short The chemical industry is largely dependent on non-renewable petroleum-based feedstock. Using renewable resources to produce bio-based chemicals offers a good alternative to petroleum-based resources. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are an example of a renewable source of bio-based chemicals. PHAs are a family of polyesters that are produced by a wide variety of microorganisms for intracellular carbon and energy storage purposes. Extensive research is conducted towards the use of PHA in various fields of study, one of these uses is in chemistry thanks to their biological activity. From PHA, several different co-monomers can be obtained, one of them being (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (R3HB). R3HB is of interest as a starting material for fine chemicals because of its chiral center and obtainability in pure R-configuration. The derivatives of this monomer can be used as synthons for various other products. During this project the chemical modification of R3HB to obtain several derivatives was researched.

Challenges aheadObtaining derivatives with high yields and purities is the biggest challenges within the project. Beside the derivatives that have already been researched there are plenty of other options to investigate during future Smart Solution Semesters.

Project in short When two students from the project group both had done their internship at a curtain company, they found that lots of innovation in durability and sustainability is happening in the interior industry, but this did not seem to occur in the curtain sector that much. They felt that it was time to change this and therefore started this project, within the Smart Solutions Semester, together with the companies Vadain and BeCe and with four other students all of whom have different specialities in business and product development. The aim of the project is to recycle the polyester pre-consumer waste material into a high-quality or comparable product in a circular way, create a sustainable business mindset and provide the companies with short term and long term solutions to improve their carbon footprint.

Challenges aheadMaking recycled material more profitable in the future and make people and business buy more recycled goods. Also a supporting government is really necessary, while the price of virgin polyester is still too low comparing recycle polyester.
