Manufacturing performance characteristics
Environmental sustainability
Comment: Within the project, a life cycle environmental impacts optimization of industrial system is performed, combining it with life cycle costs and building a multi-objective optimization. Since the hot forming process is used to produce light weight car body parts, the improvement of this process by the LD solutions influences the possibilities of increasing the resource efficiency of the cars.
Waste minimisation
Comment: This is the main goal of the application of the LD solution in the "Metrology-driven Manufacturing in the Automobile Industry".

Manufacturing performance characteristics
Environmental sustainability
Comment: The new laser system that will be developed in QCOALA will comprise an optimised laser source with a wavelength suited to aluminium and copper welding, fully integrated with in-line process monitoring and inspection systems to ensure the quality of products that are produced. The new system will facilitate in-line quality control, as well as a higher level of automation in manufacturing, and thereby achieve higher yield and throughput, for both these high-in-demand applications.
Waste minimisation
Comment: The project has

MICRO-FAST | A FAST process and production system for high-throughput, highly flexible and cost-efficient volume production of miniaturised components made of a wide range of materials

Environmental sustainability
Waste minimisation
Comment: The incidence of defective parts will be significantly low thanks to the monitoring of all the stages of production. Due to the high level of precision requested in miniaturized mechanical parts, one of the main goals of the project is the achievement of near-zero defects in components realized.

Waste minimisation
Comment: The reduction of scraps will be addressed in the sense of attempting to reduce unused material, rather than reducing the number of defective workpieces or rework operations. Furthermore, the project will reduce the amount of scraps by optimising the processes in a way that less material has to be scrapped because certain maximal idle times are not reached.

Z-BRE4K | Strategies and Predictive Maintenance models wrapped around physical systems for Zero-unexpected-Breakdowns and increased operating life of Factories

Environmental sustainability
Comment:

Z-BRE4K will lead to the optimisation of the performance, avoiding waste due to malfunctioning machinery and increased energy consumption due to the presence of failures. the reduction of the electric costs is extimated by 10%.

Waste minimisation
Comment:

Z-Bre4k will contribute to the optimisation of the manufacturing processesresulting in significantly less waste and scrap. Z-Bre4k will contribute to the reduction of defective production thanks to the optimisation of manufacturing through model-based control and improved accuracy. Moreover, it will allow to avoid overproduction that is to say manufacturing items for which there are no orders thanks to the collection of data that will control the production process producing only what is required and not overproduce.
