Research fields

LabECAM’s multi-disciplinary research teams offer a wide range of skills in mechanics, materials science, energy engineering and electrical and automation engineering.
In addition to mechanical transmissions, ECAM LaSalle is also developing new themes: cybersecurity and Smart Lean Green.

LABECAM: MECHANICAL TRANSMISSIONS RESEARCH LABORATORY

 

Mechanical transmissions are an important issue for building the world of tomorrow. These systems cover virtually all industrial sectors: transport, machinery and tools, agriculture, energy production, etc. The functions they perform are typically responsible for 13% to 14% of the overall energy losses of a given system.

Scientific support for companies, driven by the challenges of the ecological transition LabECAM studies changes to the drivetrain :

  • improving the energy efficiency of systems
  • challenges of electrifying the drivetrain
  • reliability research
  • systems monitoring
  • innovative manufacturing methods

 

In line with ECAM LaSalle’s general engineering curriculum, LabECAM comprises faculty members from a wide range of scientific fields: mechanics, materials science, energy engineering, electrical engineering and automation.

 

THE EMERGENCE OF NEW THEMES

 

With the diversification of these academic programmes, new research themes are emerging. These include cybersecurity and Smart Lean Green (Lean 4.0 change management in connection with the industrial changes associated with ecological and digital transitions). This has led ECAM LaSalle to join forces with external laboratories in these areas of research, in particular with the MAGELLAN laboratory of IAE Lyon 3 – Université Jean Moulin for Smart Lean Green.
