Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'The vision of I-RAMP³ is to enable the European industry towards smart manufacturing systems in conventional production. The project aims at creating innovative solutions in order to improve the competitiveness for this industry sector. This goal will be reached by a new concept for fast and optimized ramp-up and operation of production lines with heterogeneous devices. By this, significant reduction of time and efforts during the setup and re-configuration of production will be reached. At the same time, production costs will be reduced by increasing the efficiency of manu-facturing.
This challenge will be tackled by the introduction of the so called NETDEVs. This new kind of agent-based production devices is equipped with standardized interfaces and standardized communication protocols as well as self-descriptive capabilities. Furthermore, NETDEVs are able to optimize themselves to varying setup of production and production conditions by negotiating with each other. A plug-in concept of different models allow for easy extension of NETDEVs for maintenance and re-use purposes. By revealing hidden features I-RAMP³ technology is able to multiply the usability of conventional devices.
The I-RAMP³ concept covers also new approaches for the smart introduction of intelligent sensors and actuators as they play a significant role in future smart factories. Such systems will be equipped with standardized interfaces and advanced communication skills in order to improve plug&work.
The holistic concept of I-RAMP³ for enabling future smart factories is completed by the introduction of knowledge-based modules for Manufacturing Execution Systems. The additional features of the I-RAMP³ approach allow for increasing flexibility and fault-tolerance during production.
Having I-RAMP³ technology available, a significant step towards plug&produce technology as well as better modularity, maintainability and reusability will be done.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
The time it takes manufacturing small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) to generate products or services ahead of anticipated increases in demand has a direct impact on the future competitiveness of the sector in Europe. An EU initiative is developing innovative technologies to increase the efficiency of manufacturing.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Existing ramp-up practices for products or services take up considerable time and energy mainly because they are performed manually. This is not feasible for a manufacturing SME that needs several or even repeated product modifications.
Thanks to the EU-funded 'Intelligent reconfigurable machines for smart plug&produce production' (http://www.i-ramp3.eu (I-RAMP3)) project, a smart and flexible system that reduces the intervals for production lines and associated costs is being developed.
To achieve this, researchers are incorporating added capabilities into current and new production networks. They are converting conventional production equipment into network-enabled devices (NETDEVs). These production devices are equipped with built-in intelligence by integrating models for such capabilities as fast ramp-up, ideal process implementation, and maintenance or quality evaluation.
The development of NETDEVs will provide more uses for standard devices and they will also be able to adapt to various production situations.
Project members have developed intelligent sensor and actuator prototypes that will be key to tomorrow's smart factories featuring higher levels of efficiency and productivity. They include standard interfaces and cutting-edge communication protocols that can be seamlessly integrated into NETDEVs.
The prototypes will enhance devices that are important in realising progressively agile manufacturing systems in an industry that requires constant change in methods, products and production capacities.
I-RAMP3 intends to boost the competitive advantage of manufacturing SMEs by building tools that will be a part of their day-to-day production processes. This novel technology should bring the European manufacturing industry one step closer to the vision of flexible and sustainable production.
