Quantum secured electrical electronic architectures: Vehicles, factories and supply chains Pietro Perlo , Director , I-FEVS
Changing needs Electrification is the main growth driver of the market and it is re-shaping the industry with New Players, New Businesses and New Service-based Models MARKET REQUESTS • Safety first • Small EVs: Four/three/two wheels • Affordable prices and low Total Cost of Ownership • High connectivity level with high security level • Personalization MANUFACTURING NEEDS • Low investments • Flexibility and multipurpose platforms • Blockchain certified “Made in Portugal, Italy, Poland…” • High convergence with renewable energies: V2H, V2G..
Urban Mobility Opportunities Operators Vehicles • e-Bikes the most widespread: +50 Millions year • GM’s $500M invested in Lyft and owns with a further CAGR of 5-7% for the next 5 years Cruise Automation • BMW’s ride-sharing service, ReachNow • The highest CAGR is registered for small three • VW’s $300 million investment in Gett (India >800,000 e-rickshaws in 2017) and small • Tesla going to its own ride-sharing platform four wheel vehicles (China 2.1 Million Low Speed EVs produced in 2018). Including ASIAN a 50% to • Toyota Motor Corp. has backed Uber for an 70% CAGR in the next 5 years is likely, undisclosed amount • Daimler owns Hailo, MyTaxi, Taxibeat, and • Japan the first country experiencing urban Ridescout concentration, today about 40% of vehicles in • Ford acquired shuttle service Chariot and the roads are Kei-cars bought a majority stake in Argo.AI for $1B
Complexity of current design • Complexity of moulds to shape metal sheets in a 3D geometry • Complexity of tooling to assemble/weld the moulded components • Lack of flexibility to reconfigure the structure: great difference between chassis with one and two doors • A large scale mfg line costs >100 M€ • Large production volumes necessary for acceptable ROIs.
Complexity of current manufacturing
Challenges q Electric Vehicles must be Born Electric 1 q New companies thinking they can compete with the traditional OEMs on their technologies are Born Dead 2 companies. (October 2019 Dyson has cancelled its plans to build an electric car, claiming the project is « not commercially viable 3 » ). q Transforming a conventional Factory into an Industry 4.0 environment is a nightmare q Transforming an Industry 4.0 into an AI 4.0 environment is another nightmare (The data and the full environment have to be preparred for a Fully-distributed AI with lifelong on-device learnin g). q New Factories must be Born AI 4.0. 1 P.Perlo at idtechex San Josè 2010 . https://www.printedelectronicsworld.com/articles/2898/new-revelations-at-future-of- electric-vehicles-san-jose 2 http://docplayer.net/84835549-Evolving-towards-collaborative-manufacturing-pietro-perlo-i-fevs-torino-e-district-non- profit-research-organisation.html 3 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/10/james-dyson-scraps-plans-to-build-electric-car
Manufacturing: The Challenge Develop a production environment capable of: Flexible manufacturing implementing Industry AI 4.0 technologies • • Low cost investment • Automotive grade suppliers • Best in class vehicles for safety and performance • Best in class vehicles and plant for implemented level of security The Output Microfactory co-developed with Comau
The vehicle architecture Minimal changes in the chassis to manufacture in a flexible and agile way a variety of vehicles. Designs worldwide patented.
Crash Tests Safety tests performed for all vehicle architectures
From More Than One Year To Minutes H2020 DEMOBASE project: AI driven design of Design, Construction of Moulds, Stamping, chassis: few minutes - no moulds - no stamping - Robotized line assembly… >> 1 year no robotized assembly - Ultra simplified templates for a Quasi Self-assembled chassis meeting full frontal, off-axis and lateral crash tests.
The vehicle family
