The main objective of the FLASH-COMP project is to develop a fast and reliable (FLASH) human-oriented quality control solution capable of identifying in a timely-manner defectiveness during process and, consequently, to determine the in-situ corrective actions to be implemented, towards zero-defects LRI (Liquid Resin Infusion) manufacturing process, significantly reducing the generation of polymer composites waste.
FLASH-COMP will employ novel, fast and accurate Inspection and Monitoring techniques (FLASH-IM) within the most critical manufacturing stages –preforming and infusion–, to retrieve key process parameters.
This data will feed an AI-based Defect Severity Estimation Tool (FLASH-DSET), capable of estimating the generation of defects and, in consequence, determining if and what kind of corrective actions should be adopted within the pre-forming and resin infusion operations. Instructions will be linked to real-time feedforward and feedback (FF/FB) control strategy Decision Support System (FLASH-DSS) which will allow workers to take instant and precise corrective actions paving the way towards ‘first-time-right’ manufacturing; zero-defects/zerowaste.
AIMEN will lead the development and implementation of a novel low-cost sensors based on Hybrid Fiber Optic Sensors (FOS) for on-line monitoring of the infusion process parameters. In addition, AIMEN will adapt and implement the FLASH-COMP solution to high-performance carbon fiber composites for the aeronautical sector.
