QuinteQ Energy ’s Post

Thank you Egbert Swierts for the post. Inspiring session in Lelystad (NL) under the auspices of the Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat (Dutch Ministry for Infrastructure & Water Management) to discuss the Dutch National Growth Fund whereby an expected 150 Million Euros could be granted to help create the Dutch drone flying ecosystem by 2030. Several schools of Saxion are involved in the call including the Saxion Business Models research group. Future integration of drones for business and civil applications requires understanding the socioeconomic value and impact of drone technology, facilitating business acceptance, and business model integration working towards a circular economy #drones #saxion #businessmodels #circulareconomy

DONATE A DRONE ( OR AT LEAST A PART ) Dear all, Because something happened that is statistically impossible, I received a "signal from above" that I should use my capabilities and contacts to do something for Ukraine, which resulted in the "Donate A Drone" (or at least a part of it) initiative As you probably know from news reports, the Ukrainian army is currently unable to contain the Russian invasion due to a severe lack of air defense and ammunition. Western assistance comes “too little too late” due to political reasons and limited production capacity. In addition, Russia has now switched to a war economy, which means it is preparing for a prolonged major conflict, which is bad news for Ukraine, but also for all of Europe. Normally we, citizens stand on the sidelines watching what happens in a war, without being able to have any influence on it, but not anymore ! Already for the price of a drink on a terrace you can now directly help the Ukrainian army to defend itself by donating CIVIAL PARTS ( e.g. propeller batteries, cameras ) for FPV Drones. FPV ( First Person View ) Drones are racing drones ( 100 km/h ) where the operator visually controls the flight with virtual reality goggles. There are now hundreds of small-scale assembly sites in Ukraine, where volunteers assemble these drones and make modifications so that the FPV Drones can basically become a guided missile with a range of 5 - 7 km. Even Russian tanks are no longer safe. There are basically enough operators for these FPV drones and the local assembly capacity is there, but there are too few drone parts to produce the numbers of FPV Drones needed at the front. These drone parts are produced mainly in China and that country has imposed an export ban on drones to Ukraine. However, by using our logistics, financial contributions from people-companies can be converted into FPV drone parts that, through assembly sites in Ukraine, get to the front quickly and directly. Humanitarian support is also good, of course, but that's not stopping the Russians ! There is now no excuse to stay on the sidelines watching, help Ukraine defend itself ! With just a few clicks and already from a few euros you are part of the defense of Ukraine and thus of “our” Europe. If you do nothing now, you will probably remember this participation-donation request when seeing Russian destruction and especially if Ukraine would lose the war. Don't look away, but do something, Donate a Drone ( or at least a part ) and share this website link as much as possible https://lnkd.in/ddBHhQFU How it works in practice see the video link from the Wallstreet Journal How Ukrainian DIY Drones Are Taking Out Russian Tanks | WSJ (youtube.com) Thank you !

An interesting combination of technologies and entrepreneurial and smart minds to improve the efficiency of #offshorewind and decrease #safety risks.

The President of Dutch ALPA Camiel Verhagen summarises why & how 2 pilots ensure high safety: ➡ by incorporating human competencies such as creativity, human problem-solving skills, and critical thinking ➡ By bringing this into collaboration, it is elevated to a higher level ➡ Safety benefits inherent to 2 pilots: in case of pilot incapacitation, mitigating errors (systemic or human), lower (cyber) security risk, and immediate availability of 2 pilots 🛑 Removing one of the pilots is irresponsible & unnecessary 🆘 Help us deliver this message 📲 Sign the petition at ikwilveiligvliegen.nl. 🙏 We have already collected more than 12 thousand signatures!

Take a look at this amazing footage of an inspection conducted by H2O Drones. 👇🦾 One of the most frequently carried out inspections by H20 Drones is the primary flood defenses. Ensuring the safety and integrity of primary flood defenses – including locks, dikes and dunes – is vital to protecting the Netherlands from water-related risks. Regular inspections of primary flood defences are indispensable for maintaining the country's flood risk management. Using ROVs for this task has revolutionized the process, with speed, precision, and safety like never before. This is thanks to the advanced technology of Deep Trekker ROVs that ensure optimal results with every inspection. Deep Trekker ROVs deploy into the depths, carefully examining every inch of these vital structures and identifying any potential issues before they escalate. In addition, the y can be equipped with add-ons such as sonar, thickness gauges and laser scalers to extract the best data from an inspection. Let's continue to strive together for water security and resilience for a better, safer future. #DeepTrekker #ROV #Inspections #Technology #Robotics

Changes in the open category do NOT lead to changes in your insurance policy. For the Insurance companies the focus is on the use: - recreational or - commercial Insurers will not check compliance of their clients, however will expect operators to implement and adjust new requirements. Bvlos flying, special use or higher liability limits have to be mentioned and approved by the Insurance companies. #drone #insurance #flightdeckinsurance #dronewatch Wiebe de Jager

Can you guess what this inspection location is? Remotely Operated Vehicles are deployed in locations inaccessible or too hazardous for human presence. The video below from H2O Drones illustrates this well. The use of ROVs not only improves the accuracy and speed of the inspection process, but also safety. #DeepTrekker #ROV #robotics #inspection #confinedspace #safety
