IDEKO’s technological advances in zero defects manufacturing processes have stood out at the DMIS fair in Valencia

IDEKO’s technological advances in zero defects manufacturing processes have stood out at the DMIS fair in Valencia
  • The technology center participated last week at the Digital Manufacturing Industrial Summit, held at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
  • IDEKO held two talks on the progress made in controlling the production of products and zero defects processes under the umbrella of the InterQ project.
  • The event aoms to adress the different technological and conceptual challenges realted to manufacturing transformation, as well as to promote the creation of cooperation networks.

IDEKO, member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), participated last week in the Digital Manufacturing Industrial Summit (DMIS). The event, which took place from April 25th to 27th at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, seeks to link industry, technology and research to disciplines that can optimize advanced manufacturing, such as digital platforms, robotics or artificial intelligence.

The technological center has come to DMIS as a sponsor of the quote under the umbrella of InterQ, a European project that leads and aims to carry out a total control of the production of products and processes to achieve zero defects manufacturing. As part of the project, two researchers from IDEKO took part in two of the six presentations on InterQ that were held at the event.

In particular, our colleague, José Luis Lanzagorta, a Manufacturing Process researcher, gave the talk “A step forward on the applications of NDT techniques in the industry” during the first DMIS day.

The paper reviewed the latest developments in non-destructive testing (NDT) developed by IDEKO in the InterQ project and its applicability in industrial use cases. These techniques allow analyzing the state and quality of manufactured parts of strategic sectors such as rail or aeronautics without causing any damage.

The second, “Process monitoring for Zero-Defect manufacturing: from sensors to AI”, was conducted by Xavier Beudaert, a researcher in the Dynamics and Control group. 

During the presentation, the researcher, recognized in 2019 with the Taylor medal, analyzed the techniques of zero defects fabrication used in InterQ, based on sensors and algorithms of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and which allow measuring, predicting and controlling the quality of the processes.

Ensuring traceability of products and processes

Within the framework of the InterQ project and as the leader of the initiative, IDEKO collaborates with the other members of the consortium with the aim of optimizing the quality of products and processes under the umbrella of zero defects manufacturing. To this end, it is based on a comprehensive management of the entire value chain through a digital platform that ensures the full traceability of processing.

InterQ, in its final straight, held its General Meeting during the second day of the event, which served to plan the activities that will take place in the last six months of the initiative, as well as to learn about the latest advances of the partners.

During the meeting, the technology center showed the latest developments in the development of special solutions to optimize products through new machine sensors, new NDT technologies, development of Digital Twins and new applications related to the self-diagnosis of machines. 

About Digital Manufacturing Industrial Summit

The Digital Manufacturing Industrial Summit (DMIS) is an event that tries to address the different technological and conceptual challenges related to manufacturing transformation. As a result, manufacturers, developers, researchers and policy makers can create cooperation networks.

The event will provide a discussion forum on how state-of-the-art technologies and the benefits of modern manufacturing are being transformed.
