Valuechain Intelligence Trading Authorisation Ledger for Additive Manufacturing Ecosystems (VITALam)

该项目的目标是简化从多个增材制造（AM）来源（人员、工厂、工艺、粉末、产品和合作伙伴）获取实时数字工厂数据，以创建增材制造准确记录（数字线程）；并利用人工智能来优化机器，气氛，粉末（原材料）和AM构建参数。VITALam将安全地共享和整合来自多个组织的数据，以创建一个数字增材制造生态系统，其中利益相关者，如航空航天原始设备制造商（oem）；我机构;AM设备供应商；AM粉末/原料供应商；及后处理供应商；可以交换并受益于实时智能和性能监控，以优化产品质量和生产力水平。这将加速航空航天增材制造技术的进步，并最终解锁这种改变游戏规则的技术的可扩展性，这种技术有可能颠覆所有先进的制造领域，例如更环保和经济的组件设计和生产技术，由敏捷的全球供应链支持。主要项目输出是一个工作原型解决方案，将由FDM数字解决方案进行试点，该解决方案现在由加德纳航空航天公司（空客的全球一级供应商）和/或几家中小企业拥有，以完善以下内容：-创新世界上第一个专门用于AM和企业资源规划（ERP）解决方案的制造执行系统（MES），可以支持从“熔丝沉积建模（FDM）”到“选择性激光烧结（SLS）”的每一种AM技术，适用于从OEM到初创中小企业的各种规模的AM业务-独特地集成不同的实时数据源，以创建可靠和颗粒化的数字线程-部署创新的机器学习；利用哈德斯菲尔德大学最先进的见解来管理大数据，预测问题并优化AM产品质量和生产力-独特的区块链技术部署，提供安全的AM智能交换平台，来自利物浦大学的独特见解-与FDM数字解决方案和其他现有的valuecchain客户/合作伙伴建立数字化AM生态系统，valuecchain将与FDM数字解决方案合作，以帮助指导VITALam提供的功能的开发。以尽快为客户提供尽可能多的价值为目标。此外，将价值链介绍给可能对开发此类解决方案感兴趣的其他AM合作伙伴。价值链最初将专注于全球航空航天增材制造，因为市场机会重大而直接；例如合规性立法，产品质量的重要性，重大的财务和运营节约，例如减轻重量的组件设计和在世界任何地方生产备件的潜力。该项目完成后，valuecchain将与汽车、国防、核能、工业燃气轮机、船舶、铁路和医疗客户一起创新VITALam，一旦获得牵引力和大量航空航天市场渗透，就会扩展到这些其他全球先进制造领域。

The objective of this project is to streamline the capture of real-time digital factory data from multiple Additive Manufacturing (AM) sources (people, plant, process, powders, products and partners) to create an AM accurate record (digital thread); and utilise artificial intelligence to optimise machine, atmosphere, powder (raw material) and AM build parameters. VITALam will securely share and consolidate data from multiple organisations to create a digital AM ecosystem whereby stakeholders, such as Aerospace Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs); AM agencies; AM plant vendors; AM powder / raw material vendors; and post-processing suppliers; can exchange and benefit from real-time intelligence and performance monitoring to optimise product quality and productivity levels. This will accelerate aerospace AM technology advances and ultimately unlock the scalability of this game-changing technology which has the potential to disrupt all advanced manufacturing sectors, such as more environmentally friendly and economical component design and production techniques, supported by agile global supply chains. The main project output is a working prototype solution that will be piloted by FDM Digital Solutions, which is now owned by Gardner Aerospace (a global tier 1 supplier into Airbus) and/or several SMEs to refine the following: - innovate world's first dedicated Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for AM and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions that can support every AM technology from "Fuse Deposition Modelling (FDM)" to "Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)" for all sizes of AM business from OEM to start-up SME - uniquely integrate with disparate real-time data sources to create reliable and granular digital thread - deploy innovative machine learning, with state-of-art insights from University of Huddersfield to curate big data, predict issues and optimise AM product quality and productivity - unique deployment of blockchain technology to provide secure AM intelligence exchange platform with unique insights from University of Liverpool - establish a digitalised AM ecosystem with FDM Digital Solutions and other existing Valuechain clients / partners Valuechain will work with FDM Digital Solutions in order to help guide the development of the functionality provided by VITALam, with the goal to offer as much value to customers as soon as possible. Also, to introduce Valuechain to other AM partners who may be interested in the development of such a solution. Valuechain will initially focus on the global aerospace AM due to the significant and immediate market opportunities; such as compliance legislation, significance of the product quality, significant financial and operational savings, such as weight saving component design and the potential for spare part production anywhere in the world. Following the completion of this project, Valuechain will innovate VITALam with its automotive, defence, nuclear, industrial gas turbine, marine, rail and medical clients and then scale into these other global advanced manufacturing sectors once traction and substantial aerospace market penetration has been secured.
