  Abstract

  In recent years, the aerospace industry has seen significant advancements thanks to the incorporation of composite materials, which enable the design of lighter structures with excellent mechanical properties. However, the manufacturing process of these composites remains difficult to monitor and still lacks proper standardization. This has led to the need for the development of intelligent control technologies that can be implemented to efficiently oversee the production cycle. In this work, a detailed analysis of the various stages involved in the infusion-based manufacturing process of composite parts has been carried out, identifying weaknesses and defects that may arise during production. The technology developed aims to implement a wireless monitoring system using ferromagnetic microwires embedded in structural composite components, with the goal of improving process control and reducing potential errors. Although the knowledge gained from this project is focused on a specific manufacturing process, the results obtained could be extrapolated to other sectors operating under similar conditions. In this way, the quality and added value of the parts produced with this technology are enhanced, ensuring compliance with the stringent demands of the market.
