Smart solution for connecting process with material characteristics to achieve new generation of digital materials for the automotive industry.
The main objective of the project is to develop a Smart solution for connecting process and material characteristics to achieve a new generation of digital materials in the automotive industry demonstrated by developing a new brake system with an anchor at least 12.5 % lighter and a housing with 10% improved machinability. The new developed solution will reach in next five years to the 35% of the European iron foundry market, 10% of the Worldwide level iron foundry market. A new smart data management module “DigiMAT module” will be developed by one SME specialized in ICT solutions. Its development will be supported by a sensor network and an advanced data management system already running in the iron foundry company. This smart module will consist on a specific algorithm for each digital material development combined with an automatic protocol definitions system that will conform a specific methodology. It will acquire, store, process and analyze data coming from a previously defined set of trials. . Its validation will be completed with the homologation of new digital materials by the TIER 1 company and by their introduction in the foundry company portfolio. In parallel the TIER 1 company will develop a lighter anchor based on the developed high yield material. This lighter anchor integrated into a new brake system will be functionally homologated by the TIER 1 and final user (OEM). Finally, partners will commonly develop a business plan for quick take up of the project results. Digital materials can have a wide impact in industry and society. First stage will report significant business opportunities to ICT companies and increase turnover of Tier 1 in the brake area of the automotive sector(+30%). The potential application to all type of material can render in significant global weight reduction in transport media and more sustainable development of industrial processes.
