Life-cycle optimization of industrial energy efficiency by a distributed control and decision-making automation platform

Descripción del proyecto

Las fábricas del futuro funcionarán de forma sostenible con menos energía

Digitalizar los procesos de fabricación permite ofrecer soluciones de ahorro energético. Por ejemplo, optimizar o sustituir tecnologías específicas y aplicar nuevas herramientas informáticas puede dar lugar a una reducción significativa del consumo energético. Con el proyecto E2COMATION, financiado con fondos europeos, se optimizará el uso de la energía en las diversas etapas del proceso de fabricación, considerando la perspectiva del ciclo de vida íntegro a lo largo de la cadena de valor. Para vigilar, predecir, evaluar y optimizar el impacto energético y de sostenibilidad del comportamiento de una fábrica, en E2COMATION se desarrollará un marco metodológico transectorial y una plataforma tecnológica modular. Para predecir el rendimiento productivo, permitirá llevar a cabo un análisis holístico de los flujos de datos relativos a la energía, aprovechando también un paradigma conceptual del ciclo de vida aplicado al clonado digital de los activos de las fábricas.

Objetivo

Improving industrial energy efficiency at European Manufacturing level requires the integration of energy data with advanced optimization techniques to guide a company decision making.
E2COMATION intends to address the optimization of energy usage, at multiple hierarchical layers of a manufacturing process as well as considering the whole life-cycle perspective across the value chain. To this purpose, it aims at providing a cross-sectorial methodological framework and a modular technological platform to monitor, predict, evaluate impact of the behavior of a factory across energy and the life-cycle assessment dimensions, in order to adapt and optimize dynamically not only its real-time behavior over different time-scales, but also its strategic and sustainable positioning with respect to the complex supply and value chain it belongs to.
Its major objectives are:
- Holistic analysis of energy-related data streams for production performance forecasting;
- Life-cycle conceptual paradigm applied to digital twinning of factory assets;
- Factory-level integrated multi-objective optimization architecture;
- Modular and scalable automation platform for distributed monitoring and supervision;
- Comprehensive simulation environment enhanced with energy and environmental performance;
- Energy Aware Planning and Scheduling tool (EAP&S);
- Life Cycle Assessment and Costing tool (LCAC) integrated in a company Decision Support System;
- Sustainable Computer Aided Process Planning (s-CAPP);
- LCA-driven supply chain management (SCM) and business ecosystem.
For E2COMATION to be successful, it is fundamental that the effectiveness of its methodological approach and technological framework is proved in complex industrial scenarios, involving several factories of different sectors. This will be achieved by implementing the project platform in 2 completely different value chains, the food and drink one and the woodworking one, with 5 concurrent industrial use-cases.
