Objective Europe is the world’s largest manufacturer of machine tools but this position is threatened due to the emergence of Asian countries. However, Europe has world-class capabilities in the manufacture of high-value parts for such competitive sectors like aerospace & automotive and this has led to the creation of a high-technology, high-skill industry. European machine tool builders, part manufacturers and other agents have to work together to increase the competitiveness of European manufacturing industry.Simulation tools are currently a key complement to European machine tool industry expertise but new integrated approaches are needed. The main objective of Twin-Control is the development of a simulation and control system that integrates the different aspects that affect machine tool and machining performance. This holistic approach will allow a better estimation of machining performance than single featured simulation packages, including lifecycle concepts like energy consumption and end-life of components. This integrated concept will also enhance the necessary collaboration between machine tool builders and part manufacturers.The specific industrial objectives are:• Getting machines that work as designed faster (10% reduction)• Getting production processes that work as planned faster (20% reduction)• To get a first-time-right part manufacturing (75%)• To increase production time trough model-based control (increase of 1-2%)• To reduce energy consumption (25-50%)• Improve machine reliability and increase machine up-time due to a proactive maintenance (2-4.5%)All these will contribute to reduce machine tool life cycle costs (15 %) with a reduction of O&M costs in the range of 25%.The project considers the validation and demonstrator in real production scenarios in aerospace and automotive industries. Added to this, 3 demonstrators will be set-up in three pilot lines for spreading results beyond the project end Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemsengineering and technologymechanical engineeringmanufacturing engineeringsubtractive manufacturingengineering and technologymechanical engineeringvehicle engineeringautomotive engineeringsocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementbusiness modelsnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware applicationssimulation software Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.5. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Advanced manufacturing and processing Main Programme H2020-EU.2.1.5.1. - Technologies for Factories of the Future Topic(s) FoF-14-2015 - Integrated design and management of production machinery and processes Call for proposal H2020-FoF-2014-2015 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-FoF-2015 Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator FUNDACION TEKNIKER Net EU contribution € 736 250,00 Address CALLE INAKI GOENAGA 5 20600 Eibar Guipuzcoa Spain See on map Region Noreste País Vasco Gipuzkoa Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 736 250,00 Participants (10) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD United Kingdom Net EU contribution € 525 937,50 Address FIRTH COURT WESTERN BANK S10 2TN Sheffield See on map Region Yorkshire and the Humber South Yorkshire Sheffield Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 525 937,50 SIEMENS INDUSTRY SOFTWARE NV Belgium Net EU contribution € 778 125,00 Address INTERLEUVENLAAN 68 3001 Leuven See on map Region Vlaams Gewest Prov.
