Descripción del proyecto
Nuevas tecnologías de producción para el astillero 4.0
La industria naviera de la Unión Europea (UE) puede ser un gigante en la economía europea, pero todavía se enfrenta a una feroz competencia internacional. Se debe encontrar un equilibrio entre la reducción de los costes de producción y el aumento de la calidad de los procesos de fabricación de piezas de barcos de plástico reforzado con fibra (PRF), especialmente para los astilleros europeos de tamaño medio y pequeño. El proyecto FIBRE4YARDS, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará un método de producción de buques de PRF modular, automatizado, digitalizado y rentable, y lo implantará en un entorno de astillero 4.0 con miras a aumentar la competitividad de los astilleros de la UE. Al reunir un consorcio complementario y altamente cualificado, integrado por pymes y un astillero de PRF, garantizará que los procesos que se propongan puedan mejorar la eficiencia de los buques en términos de consumo y costes de mantenimiento.
Objetivo
To ensure global competitiveness of small and medium European shipyards, a step change is needed. The key to accomplish this relies on overcoming high production costs and low repeatable quality processes which currently inhibit mass production of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) ship parts. FIBRE4YARDS will bring a cost-efficient, digitized, automated and modular FRP vessel production approach to increase EU shipbuilders’ competitiveness.
FIBRE4YARDS’ objective is to match end-users’ needs with targeted advanced production technologies (adaptive molds, ATP/AFP, 3D printing, curved pultrusion profiles, hot stamping, innovative composite connections) from other competitive industrial sectors, and to transfer, adapt and combine them to improve FRP shipyards’ production and maintenance, in a Shipyard 4.0 environment. Real-scale demonstrators will be designed and manufactured to prove feasibility of technologies.
Based on the targeted technologies, design and engineering of small/medium-length FRP vessels will be assessed using advanced computational tools. Compliance with the regulatory framework will be ensured, and the necessary personnel training will be provided. All within validated and viable business models targeting a circular and resource efficient maritime sector.
This will lead to an improved cost effectiveness of European shipyards and their supply chain, an increased turn-over and a growth of jobs with new 21st century skillsets. Consortium’s high number of SMEs and a FRP shipyard, facilitate direct exploitation in the targeted supply chain. A robust cost-benefit analysis for stakeholders, business plans for successful commercialization and market uptake will be provided, specifically recommending an adequate IPR protection strategy. Environmental impact diminution is achieved through weight reduction (less fuel consumption), recyclable materials, energy efficient production and addressing noise pollution. The 36 months project requests 5 941 720 € funding.
