RAIZED – Approach for Smooth Integration of Advanced Zero Defect Manufacturing

ZDMP aims at providing an extendable platform for supporting factories with a high interoperability level to cope with the concept of connected factories to reach the zero defects goal. In this context, ZDMP will allow end-users to connect their systems to benefit from the features of the platform. ZDMP has received funding from the European Union’s Horizont 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement Nº 825631.

Quality control is essential for a manufacturing company to develop a sustainable business, not only from an environmental point of view but also socially and economically. Thus, it is essential to facilitate integrating a platform such as ZDMP in industrial facilities where existing software can do that. This project aims to integrate RAILES platform responsible for making some functionalities on the shop floor with ZDMP. RAILES can be used to extract data and send it to ZDMP.

With Raized, some injection machines from the facilities of a company specializing in the manufacture of plastic parts were used to integrate RAILES and ZDMP, to develop machine learning models capable of making predictions related to the execution of the system and, more specifically, related to predictive quality issues.
