Data and Metadata for Advanced Digitalization
of
Manufacturing Industrial Lines.
With the vision to create a widely-applicable DT based process setup and control framework,
MetaFacturing focuses on the creation of a digitized toolchain for metal part production. This
will allow to obtain a more resilient production process with respect to the raw materials used
(e.g., recycled materials), to reduce the process operator effort, and to reduce scrap due to
out-of-specification parts.
This toolchain aims to meet the requirements of industrial-scale
part manufacturers (with a specific focus on metal parts) whose central obstacle is the
effective use of available part and process data to improve time-to-market and product quality.
The MetaFacturing framework will largely leverage a number of (beyond) state-of-the-art
technologies, in the area of model-based data fusion, efficient process simulation, material
characterization techniques, data standardisation and continuous Life Cycle Assessment, in order
to develop efficient solutions ready for deployment in industrial processes.
With the use of
standardised data interfaces, it is intended to create a framework that can be integrated into
different types of processes in the manufacturing industry, well beyond the target cases in the
MetaFacturing project
