Objective
The project aims at the implementation of innovative automatisation technologies to the traditional sector of concrete industry: the industrial precasting of concrete elements - roofs and walls. It is planned to develop new technologies based on Fuzzy Logic, Evolutionary Programming and Genetic Algorithms. This will improve flexibility, quality and productivity of the production process of concrete elements. The new technologies will be developed for application in the three main steps of the production process of precasted concrete elements: (1) automatic setting of the form by roboters, (2) efficient dressing of the concrete steel and (3) distributing the concrete into the form. The project will lead to decreasing the production costs by 20%, the production time by 30 % and the materials needed by 10 %. Furthermore wastes, that are nowadays emerging from filling materials in the form, will be avoided and working conditions will be substantially improved. Besides optimisation in cost and time increasing flexibility of the production lines required by the wide variety of size and shapes in modern architecture will be achieved.
