Cases

"Your work, approach and knowledge were highly appreciated within the UMICORE organization. A good example of R&D where the results are effectively converted into practical solutions and new projects."

Lies Eykens - Project Manager Umicore

MooV services the development a strategic planning and decision-making model for seaweed supply chains from sea-to shore & shore-to-customer.

Flysheet

• Client: ERA-NET COFUND BLUEBIO - Coordinated R&D funding scheme to strengthen Europe's position in the Blue Bioeconomy
• Includes: sea routes, vessel capacity, seaweed cultivation locations, on-shore existing facilities (e.g. fishery), operational data

MooV assists in the digitalisation of agri-food production processes. Digital twins are a powerful tool that allow to simulate and optimise different scenarios - identifying improvements that really matter.

MooV optimises value chain configurations for power-to-x (hydrogen, methane, chemicals,...) using renewable energy sources. In this way MooV contributes to the decarbonisation of our energy system & chemical industry. 

Distribution strategies for the Covid vaccine: Free up hands in hospitals and reduce the risk of losing doses

MooV jointly with UAntwerp showed supply chain optimization supports flexible and adaptable plans for vaccine distribution.

MooV assists in the optimisation of the future value chain based on local woody biomass towards high value agro-industrial end products in Flanders.

• Client: Flemish Agency for Innovation & Entrepreneurship

• Includes: Cost reduction, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, multiple end-products, cascading hierarchy of resources, game-theory to reflect conflicting end-user interest, scenario analysis of bio factory locations and capacities.

Individual algae growers preferentially need to cluster to match demand of commercial size processing equipment.

MooV defines viable algae-based value chains investigating impact of the size of individual growers, mobility of harvest equipment and regional characteristics (e.g. heating needs).
