Case descriptions for these cases will be published soon.

Robotic Decanting for Albert Heijn E-commerce: Automating the next generation of E-com Distribution centers
For Albert Heijn Online, products arrive in many forms and are manually decanted into the mechanized systems. Automating this is difficult due to the variety of packaging. Your goal is to develop a mechanized solution that overcomes this challenge and sets the stage for intelligent, scalable automation.
Dashboard Predictive Maintenance: for intensively operated cranes
Our clients of offshore cranes subscribe to recently developed Performance Insights Dashboards. The last provide overviews of the usage of cranes including the individual critical components. The dashboard information is converted into recommendations for inspection and maintenance. It also provides information on energy consumption. In addition to usage monitoring dashboards, Huisman is currently developing dashboards for Condition Based Monitoring (CBM).
Critical Raw Materials from Medical Waste Streams
The project is embedded in a GreenCycl led medical-sector project, showcasing how circular material recovery and design for reusability, repairability, and recyclability can be translated into advanced magnet components.
The objective is to identify, quantify, recover, and redesign the use of critical raw materials from selected medical waste streams, with a focus on magnetic components used in medical devices.
(Un)wrapping the Future of Air Cargo
Every day, air cargo is wrapped in plastic and netting in order to make it safe to fly. This slows operations and limits automation possibilities. KLM Cargo invites TU Delft students to reinvent this process. Your challenge: create a smarter, more sustainable way to secure freight that works with automation instead of against it, while staying safe, compliant and scalable.
The future role of robotics in different markets
We have built quite some experience on the topic of robotics and its relevance for organizations acting in rail infrastructure. We are looking for efficient ways to leverage this knowledge to other markets within Haskoning. We would like to diminish reinventing the wheel by other markets and accelerate our go-to-market with valuable propositions for other segments/ target customers
Radiation Detection and Decontamination Robot
A JIP 2025 prototype robot for nuclear medicine can detect radiation but still lacks reliable autonomous driving, source finding, localization and cleaning. The goal is to improve these aspects, so the robot can operate in a hospital environment. Ultimately, the robot should autonomously locate and support decontamination of radioactive spills, reducing radiation exposure for healthcare staff.
