Technologies related to achieving this goal are summarized under the strategic topic of \u201c<strong>Zero Defect Manufacturing<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>PROFACTOR is developing methods that generate information in addition to results coming from quality control. These data enable the <strong>closing of the feedback loop<\/strong> from quality control to the production process, thus reducing or eliminating reject parts.<\/p>\n<p>The first step to generating the necessary data is a suitable <strong>sensor technology<\/strong>. For <strong>metallic<\/strong> as well as <strong>(carbon fiber) composite parts<\/strong> specific sensor systems have been developed, e.g. for surface inspection based on photometric stereo combined with physical models of the surface\u2019s reflectance properties. For detecting defects inside of parts active thermography has been developed for various kinds of materials.<\/p>\n<p>The interpretation of the incoming data is either done through conventional, grey-level or texture-based segmentation algorithms or \u2013 more recently \u2013 through methods based on \u201c<strong>deep learning<\/strong>\u201d that are suitable for semantic segmentation. For the actual implementation in industrial environments the lack of training data is addressed by \u201cgenerative adversarial networks\u201d that can synthesize large quantities of image data from a smaller set of samples.<\/p>\n<p>Data acquired during quality control are then combined with models of the production processes. These models enable the user to keep the production within tolerance limits by proposing specific adjustments of the parameters, especially when setting up a process for new product variant. For processes with high-value parts, where complex re-work processes may exist, <strong>decision support tools<\/strong> have been developed that combine quality data with logistical part flow simulations to optimize the performance of the whole production line.<\/p>\n<p>The quality control systems for surface inspection are often realized in the form of <strong>inspection robots<\/strong>, especially when a full surface scan needs to be done for <strong>parts of complex shape<\/strong>. The necessary tools for coverage and motion planning, for defect detection, for backprojection of defects onto 3D CAD models have been developed for this purpose.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1693397255628{margin-top: 100px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Projects<\/h2>\n<div class='projects-wrapper'><div class='project-element'><div class='feed-wrapper ex'>\n            <div class='img-wrapper'><div class='img' style='background-image:url(\"https:\/\/www.profactor.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Biostruct_1-scaled.jpg\")'><\/div> <span class='excerpt'>Currently, the use of bio-composites is limited to less critical applications that do not have significant requirements in terms of mechanical performance.
