…Ceramic Matrix Composites Pick, Place, and Form Automation Source: Boeing Principal Investigator: Boeing Project Team: University of Southern California and 3M Project Description: This project seeks to develop adaptive path planning to ensure affordability of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) components for hypersonic platforms, or an object that exceeds 5 the speed-of-sound (Mach 5 or greater). The project also seeks to integrate improvements to automated pick, place, and form for processing CMC fabric prepregs using 3D vision-based sensors to reduce the cost and variability for high-rate production of CMC structures. Benefits of this approach include having a cost-competitive alternative to titanium,…

…in addition to AR and VR deployments from GE, Boeing, and Honeywell, among others, demonstrate this growing momentum, though the aforementioned challenges are hindering scalability. “The enormous benefits that wireless technologies can help achieve, including predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, big data analytics, more flexible workforces, efficiency improvements, safety enhancements, and many others will combine to produce increasing financial and production incentives that cannot be avoided,” said Zignani. “Wired technologies are simply not adequate to address all the multifaceted needs of the varied devices that will make up the IIoT and will be far too costly to implement. However, in order…

…the highly controlled airspace of an airport,” Zosel says. Boeing recently tested its own autonomous air tax in Virginia, and Airbus conducted similar tests last year. Uber, Toyota, Volkswagen and other companies are also working on air taxi concepts. A few market research reports have estimated the potential urban air mobility market could grow to anywhere from $15.2 billion by 2030 or as high as $23.7 billion in the same period. However, all of these projects will be dependent on advancements in electric aircraft battery technology, as well as the ability for busy airports and cities to create a workable…

…U.S., and the manufacturing climate is business-friendly. That's why Boeing came.” “As a small state of 5 million people, you can pick up the phone and get something done,” Hayes claimed. “BMW wanted an inland port for importing engines and exporting finished vehicles, and we went from concept to implementation in 18 months. We also have its largest plant, with 11,000 emloyees, and it tests out new technology to scale globally.” Clemson University hosts labs and event In addition to CU-ICAR, Clemson University has the Center for Advanced Robotics Manufacturing and the Collaborative Robotics and Automation Lab, noted Hayes. “We…

…because of some risk of fire. Several years ago, Boeing 787s were grounded because of concerns about fire and explosion from lithium-ion batteries. Powering over rough terrain However, lithium-ion technology has moved forward and is being used in high-performance autonomous vehicles. One example is the Jaguar autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) employed by the Israeli Army. The Jaguar uses a COMBATT 6T NATO-standard battery produced by Epsilor Corp. The military robot is deployed around the Gaza Border, and it's also not far from other borders and infantry and special units. The Jaguar has several 6T batteries that provide it with over…

…relevant data, Inkenbrandt says. A company such as GE, Boeing or anyone that needs tight product control—including where and how they’re manufactured—uses the Identify3D solution to specify what assets and processes should be tracked. This metadata is then encrypted together with the relevant files and placed within a secure digital container. Only someone with the correct license key can access the data within this container. Like Materialise, Identify3D is partnering with machine tool builders. Yet Inkenbrandt says DRM goes much deeper. It might pull raw material suppliers into the loop, as well as quality control providers, design and manufacturing software…

…of the biggest companies in the world, including Airbus, Boeing, Google, Apple, and General Motors. Advanced Navigation has carbon-neutral operations, including manufacturing and research facilities throughout Australia and sales offices around the world. Last week, it received $5.2 million from the Australian Space Agency for lunar exploration. Advanced Navigation claimed that Boreas is “the world's only fully digital FOG.” The company said it is targeting the product range is targeted at applications requiring always-available, ultra-high-accuracy orientation and navigation. The Boreas line contains Advanced Navigation’s sensor-fusion algorithm, which it said “is more intelligent than the typical extended Kalman filter and is…
