7 OMA Use Case: Manufacturing of complex aeronautics parts. Product features: Critical structural titanium parts. Small lots, large variability parts. Complex shape. System and process features: 3 cutting tools storage units (400 tools each) cutting hours. 80% of material is removed. Specific Challenges: Service level strongly affected by corrective maintenance operations. Conservative and expensive tool management policy (no condition monitoring)

8 RobustPlaNet opportunistic maintenance solution and architecture State-based production and opportunistic maintenance planning (+ 20% service level). Production plan Machine degradation monitoring by fingerprint cycles (identification of 3 degradation modes). Tool condition monitoring by data fusion of process and in-process tool wear data (-70% tool-life planning time, 40 hours)

10 Knorr Bremse remanufacturing use case Remanufacturing of mechatronic parts for the automotive aftermarket as a sustainable circular economy business. Process-chain: Operator Reman decision Final Inspection Input Post consumer part Visual Check by the operator Disassembly Cleaning Scrap Good for reassembly Challenges: Large variability in the condition of the post consumer products. Remanufacturing decisions are taken by the operator based on Standard Operations Sheets SOS. The resulting regeneration rate is

11 RobustPlaNet remanufacturing solution Operator Reman decision supported by DSS Final Inspection Input Core Automatic + Visual inspection Part condition dependent optimal disassembly flow Cleaning Scrap Target regeneration rate > 0.8. Target disassembly time reduction = -15%. Good Solution Decision Support System: 1. Part quality inspection: Quality evaluation of cores. Automatic identification of quality characteristics. 2. Adapt the remanufacturing strategy based on the specific core quality. The solution provides considerable economic and environmental benefits

20 DISSEMINATION & EXPLOITATION wbk

21 RobustPlaNet Relevant Exploitation Stories A list of 8 new exploitable products have been elaborated. The most promising business opportunities are as follows: MARPOSS will include the multi-sensor solution, including the laser pre-setter and data fusion algorithms, as a technology for the direct tool condition monitoring in complex machining operations. MCM will include the sensors and the software for machine signature monitoring as an additional service to the machine tool users for monitoring the state of degradation of critical components. Technology Transfer Ltd. has been established in Hungary by SZTAKI, partially based on RPN results, to bring to the market the RPN cockpit. Teckno, a spin-off of Politecnico di Milano, established in cooperation with MCM, will exploit the technology and the software for the efficient planning of the tool life in complex machining operations. A valorisation workshop was held in Twente to harmonize the development of the business plans and market analyses for these results
