Description du projet
De nouvelles technologies de production pour la construction navale 4.0
L’industrie navale de l’UE a beau être un géant de l’économie européenne, elle n’en est pas moins confrontée à une concurrence internationale féroce. Il est nécessaire, en particulier pour les petits et moyens chantiers navals européens, de trouver un équilibre entre la réduction des coûts de production et l’augmentation des processus de qualité pour la production en série de pièces de navires en plastique renforcé de fibres (PRF). Le projet FIBRE4YARDS, financé par l’UE, développera une approche rentable, numérisée, automatisée et modulaire de la production de navires en PRF, qu’il mettra en œuvre dans un environnement de construction navale 4.0 afin d’accroître la compétitivité des constructeurs de navires européens. La réunion d’un consortium hautement qualifié et complémentaire, comprenant des PME et un chantier naval FRP, permettra de veiller à ce que les processus proposés puissent améliorer le rendement des navires en termes de consommation d’énergie et de coûts de maintenance.
Objectif
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.
