Project description

Real-time health diagnostics and prognostics technologies

Manufacturing in Europe is undergoing an ecological and digital transformation. However, despite significant advancements in health monitoring enabled by new technologies and AI, most approaches still rely on rudimentary health indicators that were defined over half a century ago. On the other hand, the tribology community is actively engaged in studying contacts at both micro and macro scales, where loads are applied and wear, damage and faults occur. These two communities, condition monitoring/prognostics and health management, and tribology, are following distinct paths. The MSCA-funded PATRON project aims to develop the next generation of prognostics and health management technologies for real-time diagnostics and prognostics. To do this, it will collaborate with 10 interdisciplinary doctoral candidates.

Objective

European manufacturing is at the centre of a twin ecological and digital transition, being both driver and subject to these changes. At the same time, manufacturing companies must maintain technological leadership and stay competitive. The size and the complexity of the associated challenges - such as the integration of Artificial Intelligence, the use of industrial data, the transformation into a circular economy and the need for agility and responsiveness - requires pooling of resources and a novel approach of cooperation. The objective of the PATRON project is to develop the next generation of PHM methodologies, algorithms and technologies, so enabling condition monitoring, with the focus on real-time diagnostics and prognostics. This objective will be achieved by having 10 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) working closely and interacting frequently in this inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary area. Despite remarkable progresses in health monitoring boosted by new technologies and AI, most approaches still rely on the use of rudimentary HIs defined more than half a century ago. On the other hand the Community of Tribology is working at the micro and the macroscale of the contacts where loads are applied and wear, damage and faults occur. Impressively enough the two communities, Condition Monitoring/Prognostics and Health Management and Tribology, are following separate paths. The proposed PATRON project brings together the two communities and doctoral candidates and experienced specialists from key players in academia and industry across Europe covering different scientific disciplines and industrial stakeholders from a broad range of backgrounds to optimally tackle the challenges ahead. The PATRON Fellows will be trained in innovative PhD topics as well as receiving specific theoretical and practical education in the fields of mechanical engineering and computer science, focusing towards the next generation Prognostics and Health Management techniques.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
