Composites Manufacturing in view of "Composite Revolution 4.0." • Isn’t a “coming trend” or theoretical concept. • It’s here, it’s real and is already having an impact in factories around the globe. • Industry 4.0 is trending in the composites industry, but more so in Europe, particularly in plants that supply the aerospace and automotive industry. • The wide range and potential combinations of fibers and thermoset and thermoplastic raw materials; multiple tools and molds; energy ‐ intensive autoclaves and ovens; and the extensive documentation requirements in some sectors complicate every aspect of design and manufacture. “ But that means the composites industry has more to gain from smart manufacturing deployment than many other ‘simpler ’ industries.” 1 1 Brosius, D., Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI, Knoxville, TN, US), •
Composites Manufacturing in view of "Composite Revolution 4.0." Sensors can measure angles, position, dimensions, temperatures, pressures, impedance, light, electrical resistance — almost any physical state of a material,… We can verify immediately the fiber orientations of every ply laid by a machine, we can know the exact state of cure within a mold, we can know if the process is drifting. The software in the system makes the appropriate adjustment(s) to the process inserting a missing tow before the next ply is laid up, changing the mold temperature, the injection rate, the catalyst ratio, mold pressure, vacuum level or some other parameter — without human. Factory of the future – path to make composites the most competitive materials of the next generation.
