Abstract

TSI is currently, among other activities, developing and managing smart manufacturing in the framework of the FIBRE4YARDS project, which has as one of its main objectives to increase the production capacity of shipyards for ships made of composite materials through the implementation of highly automated methods and the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies. Within the project, several demonstrators of different parts of a catamaran and a patrol boat will be built using new manufacturing processes that will have the industry 4.0 philosophy implemented. For this, TSI has designed and built 6 monitoring systems, one for each manufacturing process, and collaborated in the development of the IoT platform for the Shipyard4.0. The objective of TSI is to improve the knowledge of the state of the manufacturing processes and to visualise in real time the parameters of interest of the different manufacturing processes. This research has been carried out in the framework of the FIBRE4YARDS project, composed of relevant stakeholders from the shipbuilding and FRP sectors. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 101006860.
