Intelligent Fault Correction and self Optimizing Manufacturing systems (IFaCOM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

The goal of zero defect manufacturing encompasses both short and long term perspectives. The short term perspective is to develop and implement a real time process control system that eliminates the production of any faulty component due to variances in materials, components and process properties. The long term perspective is to minimize all failures by continuous optimizing of the production pro...

Minimizing Defects in Micro-Manufacturing Applications (MIDEMMA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Micro-manufacturing requires 'Zero-Defect' oriented approaches, both in large scale and in short-run production. Current quality control approaches, coming from macro-manufactring, are mainly based on post-process geometric control, which produces a large time lag between the defect generation and its detection, usually leading to large amount of defect parts (large scale) or wasted high value pro...
