Manufacturing performance characteristics
Economic sustainability
Comment: NDE has a major impact on the cost of the manufacturing process. For some composite parts, it is assumed that NDE costs may increase up to 30 % of the complete cost of the product. The use of simulation for optimizing and checking the performances of NDE allows to reduce these costs and to improve their performances, thanks to reduced set of experimental (cosly) campaigns and destructive tests.

AUTOWARE | Wireless Autonomous, Reliable and Resilient ProductIon Operation ARchitecture for Cognitive Manufacturing

Social sustainability
Increasing human achievements in manufacturing systems
Comment:

The concept of fully automated production systems is no longer a viable vision. High reactivity, agility and adaptability that is required by modern production systems, can only be reached by human operators with their immense cognitive capabilities. New concepts are required, that apply these cognitive principles to support autonomy in the planning processes and control systems of production systems.

Comment:

user interfaces targeting various user groups:

  • Field technicians / operators, e.g. visualization of bill of material
  • Supply chain experts, e.g. visualization of legislation data
  • Production / quality engineers, e.g. designing new business process for new collaborations, e.g. monitoring status of incoming goods
  • Sales / marketing representatives, e.g. partner search for supply chains
  • Product designers / design engineers, e.g. visualization of quality/design/production data
  • Software developers, e.g. software design/deployment facilities e.g. DevOps for Cloud-based applications or IBM Bluemix services.

Economic sustainability
Comment:

The economic impact of UPTIME is the most important one and can be seen at 2 levels :

  • Short/mid-term impact: improvement of financial results of industrial companies and their competitiveness thanks to better operational performance (optimized maintenance and production)
  • Mid/long term impact: the improved competitiveness will help to reconquer some market shares and then reinforce an offensive marketing strategy (low margin segments could be reprioritized)
Supply chain and value network efficiency
