Cloud-based Situational Analysis for Factories providing Real-time Reconfiguration Services (SAFIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

In traditional models of manufacturing, the information flow from product design, over production processes, to the manufactured product has been strictly unidirectional. The production equipment “blindly” executes tasks that have no direct relationship to the concepts that are present in the original design models and the product is used with little or no feedback concerning product use patterns. ...

Cooperation Environment For Rapid Design prototyping and New Integration Concepts for Factory of the Future (COPERNICO)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

In COPERNICO a novel approach is adopted which will look at ALL factors of the production system in a holistic manner (machines, humans, environment) and model the interactions. Particular attention will be paid to factory ramp-up, which is critical for new products and can be a major stumbling block achieving fast time-to-market. We believe that it is only possible to design a virtual manufacturi ...

Development of a flexible and energy-efficient pressurised microwave heating process to produce 3D-shaped renewable bio-polymer foams for a novel generation of transportation packaging (REBIOFOAM)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Polyurethane (EPU), Polyethylene (EPE) and Polypropylene (EPP) represent the most popular moulded cushion packaging materials applied for transport packaging applications. However, despite of their functionality, the widespread use of these polymer foams of synthetic origin implies considerable environmental concerns. The depletion of non-renewable fossil raw material r ...
