OPeraTIC will develop a highly efficient and modular manufacturing platform to boost the adoption of high-power Ultra-Short Pulsed Lasers, as a sustainable alternative to current surface processing. The OPeraTIC open, interoperable and expandable architecture will tackle the industrial entrance barriers of laser microstructuring of large 3D parts. OPeraTIC provides the required productivity/quality through different developments: (i) combination of advanced optical modules for beam transport and manipulation (ii) dexterous and precision robotic manipulator. iii) AI-enhanced process planning and adaptability. OPeraTIC proposes a modular and automated routing of optical components guaranteeing versatility and replicability, i.e beam delivery (polarization maintaining fiber), management (dynamic control beam shaping) and metrology (novel optical setups for product & process monitoring). On top of that, OPeraTIC will develop a system architecture for the upscaling of USPL machines to large envelope and complex trajectories, driven by a novel RAMI4.0- compliant controller (merging dexterous manipulation with high level CNC motion accuracy and full synchronization of motion, laser process and quality control). Finally, OPeraTIC proposes an I4.0-compliant platform for systematic data exchange and integrated bidirectional communication (Automation-ML and OPC-UA standards) between real environment and its digital representation. This end-to-end seamless connection enhances a Machine Intelligence Framework for the definition of Zero Defect Manufacturing strategies, empowered by AI and real-time monitorization and control, for process optimisation. A consortium of 4 top Research Institutions and 7 laser sector industry partners, backed by 2 adoption-oriented partners, will demonstrate OPeraTIC potential on relevant and high impact large-scale use-cases by 4 industrial end-users in the automotive, aeronautic, lighting, and white goods sectors

OPeraTIC将开发一个高效的模块化制造平台，以促进高功率超短脉冲激光的采用，作为当前表面处理的可持续替代方案。OPeraTIC开放、可互操作和可扩展的架构将解决大型3D零件激光微结构化的工业入口障碍。OPeraTIC通过不同的开发提供所需的生产力/质量：（i）用于光束传输和操作的先进光学模块的组合（ii）灵巧和精确的机器人操作器。（三）人工智能增强的过程规划和适应性。OPeraTIC提出了一种模块化和自动化的光学组件路由，保证了多功能性和可复制性，即光束传输（保偏光纤）、管理（动态控制光束整形）和计量（用于产品和过程监控的新型光学设置）。最重要的是，OPeraTIC将开发一种系统架构，用于将USPL机器升级到大包络和复杂轨迹，由一种新型的RAMI4.0兼容控制器驱动（将灵巧的操作与高水平的CNC运动精度和运动、激光加工和质量控制的完全同步相结合）。最后，OPeraTIC提出了一个符合I4.0的平台，用于真实的环境及其数字表示之间的系统数据交换和集成双向通信（Automation-ML和OPC-UA标准）。这种端到端的无缝连接增强了机器智能框架，用于定义零缺陷制造战略，由人工智能和实时监控和控制授权，以实现流程优化。由4家顶级研究机构和7家激光行业合作伙伴组成的联盟，在2家以采用为导向的合作伙伴的支持下，将向汽车、航空、照明和白色商品行业的4家工业终端用户展示OPeraTIC在相关和高影响力大规模用例方面的潜力
