In collaboration with partner company Veski Ltd, equipment for diagnostic monitoring of the HPP Senj unit has been delivered as part of a modernization effort that enhances cooperation and provides advanced systems for monitoring power equipment.
Flagship projects
The project “Research on the Potential for Heat Utilization from Renewable Sources Using a High-Speed Microgenerator” (MATCHER) is conducted to develop and test a laboratory prototype of a generator with a rotational speed of up to 30,000 RPM, aimed at utilizing heat from renewable sources for electricity production. Successful realization of the project will contribute to the further commercialization of a product that ensures higher energy efficiency in production processes and strengthens collaborative (international) research between the industrial and scientific research sectors.
The Laboratory Center has successfully conducted rigorous testing of SENcastle, a multi-sensory device designed to provide sensory stimulation and integration for children with developmental disabilities. Developed in collaboration with Croatian experts, defectologists, and sensory integration therapists, SENcastle aims to enhance communication skills and motor abilities through engaging play and interaction.
Information and Documentation Department and Library
The department has a long and rich tradition dating back to 1946, when the library of the then company Rade Končar was established. Today, we are here to share resources with the local and international community and provide access to information. We support high-quality research and development and are responsible for preserving and protecting professional knowledge.
We manage a collection of over 20,000 printed professional books and more than 800 titles of scientific and professional journals in the fields of electrical engineering, electronics, energy, and transportation.
Digital Factory Lab
KONČAR Digital Factory Lab is a virtual hub built around high-tech software solutions for the manufacturing industry. The concept of this innovation lab is to make the journey towards digital transformation, digital factories, and Industry 4.0 more accessible and less risky.
DFL is an initiative led by KONČAR, Dassault Systèmes, and CADCAM Group. Other partners are welcome to join the initiative permanently or temporarily if it aligns with the interests of the project. Companies, consultants, institutions, universities, or individuals can join the project, and each stakeholder may have different reasons for participation in the innovation lab. The greatest opportunities the Lab offers are development of strong business and technological relationships, exploration of new technologies, transfer of knowledge and improved market visibility.
