OPEN INNOVATION PLATFORM FOR OPTIMISING PRODUCTION SYSTEMS BY COMBINING PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, VIRTUAL ENGINEERING WORKFLOWS AND PRODUCTION DATA (PIONEER)

如今，欧洲制造企业在动荡的全球化市场中面临着一系列挑战，市场需求发生了前所未有的急剧变化，产品种类不断增加，批量越来越小，加剧了全球竞争，对生产成本，产品质量和生产效率造成了持续的压力。因此，必须实施新产品开发策略，以确保和优化小批量生产系统中新产品或变体的制造。PIONEER旨在开发一个开放式创新平台和可互操作的数字管道，以解决模拟设计优化框架。为此，PIONEER实施了在线前馈控制策略，以提高高混合/小批量生产方案中工业系统的效率，基于材料建模和材料表征之间的联系，基于仿真的数字双胞胎和数据驱动模型，通过嵌入式物联网边缘设备和产品质量的分布式生产数据进行更新。PIONEER是建立在五个支柱的发展，一个共同的方法部署在两个示范，涉及多学科优化，以确保认证的路径规划战略的拓扑优化结构元件的制造，通过线弧增材制造（WAAM）在建设-即，小批量生产方案-以及确保汽车中碳纤维片材模塑化合物（CF-SMC）部件制造的有效设计和制造策略-即，高度混合的生产计划。PIONEER建立在i）以前的H2020欧盟项目中获得的知识和成果; ii）协会-即EMMC ASBL、IOF、VMAP标准社区、IDTA-;以及iii）来自项目合作伙伴的商业产品。

Nowadays, European manufacturing enterprises are facing a number of challenges in a turbulent globalized market facing unprecedented and abrupt changes in market demands, an ever-increasing number of product variants and smaller lot sizes, intensifying the worldwide competition and causing a continuous pressure on production costs, product quality and production efficiency. Therefore, novel product development strategies for ensuring and optimising the manufacturing of new products or variants in low-volume production systems must be implemented. PIONEER aims the development of an open innovation platform and interoperable digital pipeline for addressing a design-by-simulation optimisation framework. For that, PIONEER implements inline feedforward control strategies for enhancing the efficiency of the industrial systems in high-mix/low-volume production schemes, based on the connection between materials modelling and materials characterisation, simulation-based digital twins and data-driven models, updated through distributed production data from embedded IoT edge devices and product quality. PIONEER is built over five pillars for development a common methodology deployed in two demonstrators by involving multidisciplinary optimisation for ensuring certified path planning strategies for the manufacturing of topology optimised structural elementsthrough Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) in construction –i.e., low-volume production schemes–, as well as for ensuring an efficient design and manufacturing strategy for the manufacturing of Carbon Fibre Sheet Moulding Compound (CF-SMC) components in automotive –i.e., high-mix production schemes–. PIONEER is built on the knowledge and results gained in i) previous H2020 EU projects; ii) associations –i.e. EMMC ASBL, IOF, VMAP Standard Community, IDTA—; and iii) commercial products from project partners.
