congratulations ADLC 👏
ADLC won the Offshore Drone Challenge ! 🚁 We are very proud to announce that ADLC won the Offshore Drone Challenge organized by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG at the Nationales Erprobungszentrum für Unbemannte Luftfahrtsysteme of DLR in Cochstedt. During two days, we demonstrated how our drone transport solution could serve the offshore industry. This solution is powered by a strong partnership between ADLC (Drone Cargo Airline) and Phoenix-Wings GmbH (Drone Cargo Manufacturer). In fact, offshore wind parks play a crucial role in the energy transition and European energy mix. However, operating an offshore wind farm efficiently by optimising maintenance and repair activities is highly challenging. Operators, like EnBW, face these challenges daily and are looking for alternative logistics solutions to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We are delighted to further explore how ADLC can serve the offshore industry with both its existing and upcoming drone delivery solutions.

Heb jij je ooit afgevraagd hoe je een levensredder kunt worden in je (werk)omgeving? Wij willen een belangrijke les meegeven waar iedereen op zou moeten letten! We hebben namelijk recent een leerzame EHBO-cursus achter de rug. EHBO gaat niet alleen over weten wat te doen in een noodsituatie, maar ook over het creëren van een veiligere en hechtere werkomgeving. We hebben waardevolle vaardigheden geleerd, van reanimeren en beademen tot het bieden van eerste hulp en het veilig stellen van mensen in noodsituaties. 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗷𝗸𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀: In een noodsituatie kunnen de eerste paar minuten cruciaal zijn. Weten hoe je moet handelen kan het verschil maken tussen leven en dood. Zorg er daarom altijd voor dat je weet waar zich bij jou in de buurt een AED-apparaat bevindt. Deze apparaten geven bij een hartstilstand schokken toe en kunnen levens redden. Kijk in jouw kantoorgebouw en onderzoek ook waar in de buurt van jouw leefomgeving zo’n apparaat zich bevindt. Meestal zie je de bekende 'groene bakken’ op publieke plaatsen hangen. Geen AED gevonden? Handmatig blijven reanimeren is minstens even belangrijk. Tip! Gebruik handige smartphone-apps zoals 'Staying Alive' om altijd op de hoogte te zijn van de locaties van AED's. Een enorme dank aan The Beacon | Innovation Community voor het hosten van ons en aan het Rode Kruis-Vlaanderen voor het geven van zo’n informatieve en praktische cursus. Dankzij jullie inspanningen kunnen we beter voor elkaar en anderen zorgen. Laten we samen blijven leren en groeien! #EHBO #WerkplekVeiligheid #EersteHulp

Wat te onthouden van die AI Act. Niet artikel 3, bijlage 2b, pagina 449. Wel: 👉De nood aan AI geletterdheid/kennis bij gebruikende organisaties (degene die toepassingen beschikbaar stellen voor hun klanten/werknemers) 👉Transparantie voor de eindgebruiker (klanten/werknemers die uiteindelijk gebruik maken van de toepassing) Hoe? Geertrui Mieke De Ketelaere is groot voorstander van “model cards”. Een bijsluiter, zoals bij Nurofen, voor elk AI-model binnen je organisatie. Simpel. Of toch ongeveer. Thanks Pénélope Simons, Robin Pauwels , Inés Sylverans (The Beacon | Innovation Community ) voor de uitnodiging 🤝. Top informatieve sessie door Maxime Verstrepen (Four & Five). Thanks!
