Technologietelg Hammer-IMS stoomt stagestudenten klaar om multidisciplinair te excelleren op de arbeidsmarkt
'Hammer-IMS Internship Fellow'-oorkonde voor pas afgestudeerde studenten zet nieuwe toon op Vlaamse arbeidsmarkt. Wanneer Hammer-IMS in 2016 neerstreek op de Corda technologiecampus in Hasselt, hadden oprichters Noël Deferm en Tom Redant geen vermoeden dat ze 5 jaar later maandelijks een grote gele machine zouden verschepen naar alle uithoeken van de wereld. “Onze felgele kleur is ons handelsmerk”, luidt het bij Hammer-IMS. “De voorbije jaren hebben we ons bedrijf zien evolueren van het ontwikkelen van één technische component naar complete volwaardige machines. Grote internationale textiel- en kunststofgroepen bekijken onze producten met argusogen en verkiezen onze machines vaak boven die van Duitse gevestigde bedrijven. Onze cocktail van technologische passie en met beide voeten in de markt staan is essentieel om een markt binnen te dringen en ons aandeel hierin te vergroten. We willen dit graag overbrengen aan nieuwe jonge professionals.”

Hammer-IMS story published in GeniaaL magazine of University of Leuven (Dutch language)
Aan het thema ‘ondernemen’ wordt binnen de Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen van KU Leuven veel aandacht besteed. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het spin-off bedrijf Hammer-IMS, die de kennis van mm-waveschakelingen op industriële applicaties toepast. De krachtige multisensor-systemen geven fabrikanten van fabrics, plastics en nonwovens een heldere kijk op de kwaliteit van hun product. Deze innovatieve oplossingen vormen een alternatief voor bestaande nucleaire en radioactieve systemen in de markt.
