eXtended Reality (XR) is the umbrella for Virtual, Mixed, and Augmented Reality (VR/MR/AR), relating in varying degree from the use of digital overlays to fully rendered immersive alternate views of a physical world, where objects are registered in 3D and user interaction is responsive to the user’s surrounding in real-time. XR is increasingly used in education and training to support learning, practice, or even guide performance.
The DEFACTO project has a specific objective of making an effective contribution to new standardisation in the batteries sector, especially regarding shortened validation of cell endurance (measurement of functionalities, ageing and safety…) and cell production. This workshop is proposed to meet this objective, and to allow interaction with the project stakeholders so that the knowledge generated in the project is transmitted to the industrial community and the stakeholders can also specify their requirements.
The CEN Workshop ‘The Standardization of the Impression Creep Test’ has developed its first draft CWA.
Wastewater treatment and organic fraction of municipal solid waste are responsible for the annual generation of up to 138 million tonnes of bio-waste in the EU. It has been estimated that almost 75% of this waste is currently sent to incineration or landfilling, with an extraordinary environmental and economic cost associated. Moreover, a high percentage of this waste holds a great potential as a source of recycled materials or valuable component recovery source. Wastewater contains cellulose and nutrients that could be used as feedstock for many applications. Solid organic waste could be also an interesting source of materials for added value applications (e.g., ectoine, polyhydroxyalkanoates, biomethane, etc.), to complement their conventional valorisation routes (e.g., fertilizers, biogas, etc).
The CEN Workshop ‘Test method for the evaluation of the adhesive properties of fibre reinforced polymer composite joints’ has developed its first draft CWA.
The Workshop’s aim is to define a framework for developing age-appropriate digital services for situations where users are children. This topic is relevant for both organisations, CEN and CENELEC.
The planned CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) sets out a rake method using a boat to remove rooting undesired (alien) aquatic plants, which can offer a long-lasting solution to the problem of excess aquatic plants and rooting undesired species.
The planned CEN Workshop specifies an assessment of pandemic crisis prediction and management tools. The planned workshop is intended to be used by national planners in the area of crisis management (with a particular focus on epidemic and pandemic crises) and first responders dealing with the crisis situations after their outbreaks.
The planned CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) specifies the experimental characterization of the modular hybrid heat pump under real operating conditions in order to define a performance map of efficiency and heat pump capacity as a function of operating parameters.
The Workshop will produce a CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) which will offer a scalable platform covering the overall lifecycle, ranging from the digital twins setup, modernisation actions to diagnose and predict the operation of physical assets, to the refurbishment and remanufacturing activities towards end of life. In-situ repair technologies and the redesign for new upgraded components will be facilitated through virtual simulations for increased performance and lifetime.
