“Integration of Smart Manufacturing Technologies”
- The adoption of automated manufacturing processes, including robotic assembly and digital twin simulations, is enhancing the efficiency and precision of glass fiber reinforced plastics composites production
- Companies are increasingly implementing real-time monitoring systems powered by artificial intelligence to optimize production parameters and ensure consistent product quality
- The development of advanced manufacturing techniques, such as automated fiber placement and resin transfer molding, is enabling the production of complex composite structures with reduced labor costs
- Industry leaders are investing in research and development to integrate smart sensors into composite materials, allowing for real-time monitoring of structural health and performance during service.
- For instances, in 2023, Hexcel Corporation partnered with Siemens to implement digital twin technology in composite production, improving speed and reducing material waste
