The INDUSTR_I4.0 ‘small projects fund’ accelerates the digital transition within the (manufacturing) industry in the Dutch-German border region by supporting entrepreneurs. The project does not focus on the frontrunners, but rather on the group of SMEs following behind them. Receiving a voucher from INDUSTR_I4.0 helps entrepreneurs take the first step: researching, testing and further developing their ideas with a partner who brings added value.
Virtualletics and WearM.AI are using the voucher to further develop Motion2Load. With Motion2Load, Virtualletics and WearM.AI combine smartphone-based motion analysis with cloud-based analysis of muscle and joint strain. A smartphone video records mobility, posture, symmetry and balance. Smart software then translates this data into insights into movement quality and strain. This gives physiotherapists, rehabilitation professionals and coaches a more objective picture without the need for complex measurement set-ups. Virtualletics contributes its expertise in digital health applications, smartphone motion capture and software development. WearM.AI adds its expertise in biomechanical modelling, cloud analysis and digital twin technology.
Motion2Load thus clearly demonstrates why collaboration between Dutch and German entrepreneurs is valuable. Companies bring different knowledge, markets and practical experience to the table. It is precisely this that enables solutions to progress more quickly, and that is exactly what INDUSTR_I4.0 stands for. The programme connects SMEs from the Netherlands and Germany that wish to work with digital technology.
The INDUSTR_I4.0 smallproject fund is implemented as part of the Interreg VI programme Deutschland-Nederland and is co-financed by the European Union, MWIKE NRW, the Niedersächsische Staatskanzlei, Ministerie van Economische Zaken, and the provinces of Fryslân, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Flevoland, Gelderland, Noord-Brabant and Limburg.
