TESConf2022 brings together academia and industry to engineering solutions supporting the lifecycle of complex and long-life assets. This CIRP-sponsored conference blends research and industrial solutions related for approaches that enable and optimise the value and the cost in-use. The topics explore design, functionality, performance, reliability and prognosis of life of engineering assets. The research streams cuts across the lifecycle with an emphasis on understanding the design and management to extend life. This year, the conference focuses on the following areas and topics:

Digitalisation in TES

  • Digital transformation
  • Digital twins
  • AR/VR

Industrial product service systems (IPSS)

  • Business models
  • Design for service
  • Design for prognosis

Lifecycle

  • Maintenance and optimisation
  • Repair technologies
  • Health monitoring

TES for sustainability

  • Life-extension approaches
  • Advanced manufacturing
  • Application-tuned materials

    ICT infrastructure supporting seamless integration of certification procedures in microfactories
    (Cranfield University, 2022-11-08) Perlo, Pietro; Rocha, Andre; Alemao, Duarte; Freitas, Nelson; Oliveira, Fabio; Barata, Jose; Stavropoulos, Panos; Papacharalampopoulos, Alexios; Tsoniotis, Nikolaos; Argyriou, Charalampos; Toshev, Rayko; Tharanath, Tharanath; Sodergard, Jani; Alexandra, Saraev; Nunes, Rafael
    Digitalization can be considered as the main driving force towards achieving many different strategies, such as quality control and zero-defect manufacturing, green manufacturing and certified production. To this end, digital infrastructure in terms of Cyber-Physical Systems must be able to support various functionalities. The current work aims at supporting digitally potential micro-factories, in the sense that the minimum upfront investment is promoted. Also, herein, as a result of the EU H2020 project AVANGARD, where Cloud Manufacturing is tightly aligned with the concept of micro-factories and full production decentralization, the Blockchain architecture provides a secure interconnection layer, between all involved technology stacks, supporting in a modular fashion trust among disparate parties, traceability across organizational boundaries and a blueprint for seamless logging and auditing of activities by actors, software tools, IoT devices, and shopfloors, across supply chains. In addition, the concepts of end-to-end integration, MES & ERP involvement, link to the use phase (i.e. maintenance) towards through-life engineering services and finally procedures towards dynamic lifecycle assessment as well as a link to digital twins, are all discussed. The link to potential clients is also guaranteed. The case study of integrating Additive Manufacturing in such a production is used, indicating the added value of having interoperability as a criterion, even in the case where human-in-the-loop optimization of a factory is involved.
