Participation in the JEC EUROPE 2012 show INASCO participated in the international show JEC EUROPE 2012, which is one of the biggest events in the composites industry, world-wide. During the event, INASCO’s executives have showcased and made live-demonstrations of the novel “DiAMon Family of Solutions” , which is the company’s technological solutions in composite processing. The above showcasing, generated significant interest from JEC’s exhibitors and visitors. The “DiAMon Family of Solutions”, comprises of three unique monitoring systems, DiAMon Plus™, DiAMon Flow™, DiAMon Lite™, and the DiAMon Cloud™ solution which is a new approach for real-time monitoring of large and complex composite structures. The above technologies provide real time cure and flow monitoring capabilities and significant benefits to the composite part manufacturer. Particularly the solution DiAMon Plus ™ was announced in the JEC website and published in the JEC 2012 special innovation report under the title “An innovation in composites processing” (page 9). INASCO also showcased its latest composite and metallic aerostructure prototypes. Details...

MIW Award INASCO received innovation award for its novel concept of composite process monitoring inside the autoclave from the prestigious MIW international competition INASCO was awarded the 1st position in the international innovation competition MIW (Make Innovation Work) of the prestigious Hellenic-American chamber of commerce , for its submitted business proposal, in the thematic area of transport and shipping. INASCO was also awarded the 2nd place in the overall ranking for the entire competition. INASCO’s business proposal was one, out of a total of 273 competing business proposals. Proposals referred to business activities in various key sectors of economic activity (green energy, transport, marine, etc) and were all evaluated against criteria such as, their innovation, their applicability, their economic feasibility, their sustainability and the business growth that their implementation would create. INASCO was awarded for its novel concept, of monitoring and optimising the production of high performance carbon fiber composite parts inside autoclaves, by developing further the DiAMon Plus™ cure and flow monitoring prototype. The award ceremony was held on the 20th of March, at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in the historic center of Athens, with the presence of the Hellenic Minister of Development, the Committee of Innovation and Education, officials from the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs, distinguished members of the Academic Community, entrepreneurs, bankers and venture capitalists, distinguished Greek and in International business men and women and journalists from the foreign press. The company was represented by Dr. Christos Kyriazoglou, Business Development and Marketing Director. Details...

AircraftFire INASCO is a member of the External Advisory Board of the European Project AircraftFire an FP-7 project with complementary activities to VULCAN project. The later was coordinated by INASCO. Read More in CORDIS . Safety aboard aircraft is a major concern of aircraft manufacturers and airline companies. Fire in aircraft is a severe threat to life due to large quantities of highly flammable fuel and very limited possibilities of escape. As the number of passengers increases, fire safety is one of the most important research topics addressed to improve passenger safety. The objective of the AircraftFire project is to reduce the consequences of in-flight and post-crash fires to enhance the survivability of passengers and crew in new generation aircraft.

SARISTU INASCO participates in the EC funded SARISTU project which has a budget of 50,95 million euro. The SARISTU project focuses on technologies and research activities related to smart / intelligent structural concepts aiming to verify morphing, self-sensing and multifunctional capabilities in the wing and fuselage areas for next generation aircrafts. From the 6th to the 8th of September INASCO attended the kick-off meeting of the SARISTU project that was organized at the HQ of AIRBUS in Hamburg. INASCO is leading the 4th work package of this project that deals with the integration of a fibre optic monitoring system on stiffened aircraft structures for three different purposes, strain monitoring, shape monitoring and damage identification. More information can be found in the SARISTU & CORDIS web page. Details...
