Creation of an Innovation Center for Prototyping to Cluster "Hoisting Devices" and development of a device for recording the chain extension in chain electric hoists

The production of hoisting industry faces a number of challenges - shortage of technical and engineering personnel, low innovation activity, weak cooperation between science and business, etc. At the same time, global trends impose requirements for process automation, the incorporation of new lightweight and durable materials, and changes in product manufacturing technologies. The combination of these two factors puts industry under severe pressure and threatens their position in regional and global markets. Faced with these challenges, the project aims to support the building and development of the innovative capacity of the CLUSTER HOISTING DEVICES by creating an innovative center for the prototyping and testing of parts, units and equipment and the development of a "chain extension reporting device at chain hoists". This will be achieved through provision for the center of research staff, the renting of suitable premises and the purchase of materials under activity 1 of the project. Three different 3D printers and a specific feature scanner (Activity 2) will also be provided for the activity of the center. Their purpose is to provide the precision, strength and ease of the individual parts, assemblies and elements in accordance with the requirements, and in particular for production of a chain extension devise for chain hoists. In order to be able to carry out the whole process, we plan to acquire the relevant production experience (know-how), which will regulate and document the whole process - from design, to prototype preparation, testing and implementation in batch production (activity 3). In this sense, the project is a logical continuation of cluster’s development, whose main task is to facilitate the transfer and implementation of innovative technologies in production, through the integration and cooperation between science and enterprises in the industry.
