The FOEHN project is part of an ongoing effort to optimize the performance and reliability of NDT (Non Destructive Testing) methods. NDT is used in industry to check the integrity of structures, critical parts or industrial installations during operation. The main aim is to detect the appearance of

OPERA works in a business-to-business (B2B) customer/supplier relationship, on the supplier side when drawing up a response to a call for tenders of the engineering-to-order type. In this case, the development and costing of the offer (cost, lead times, performance, etc.) is usually based on a preco

Benefiting from increased flexibility compared to industrial machines, robotics has taken a prominent place in the manufacturing industry, thus reducing the cost of production diversification. Today, however, the low rate of robotization in French SMEs should challenge the robotics community, partic

The environmental performance of products has become a competitive factor for companies and an important purchasing criterion for customers. However, this environmental performance depends on logistical decisions such as the location/allocation of production sites, the choice of suppliers, the selec

4D modeling (i.e. BIM model + time) enables the construction stages of a building to be simulated. However, the construction industry has yet to integrate this new practice into its work processes. The scientific community has demonstrated, through a number of empirical analyses, that 4D simulation

With Industry 4.0, manufacturing machines are equipped with numerous sensors, allowing the collection of process monitoring data, as well as contextualization information. Managing these large volumes of heterogeneous data requires suitable tools and methods. However, this data currently remains unu

Fluid flows involving interfaces between different materials, or between different phases of a same material, are of paramount importance in many fields of science and engineering, from vehicle dynamics to process engineering or biomedical applications. The current economical, regulatory and environ

Every day, we manipulate dozens, even hundreds of objects, and for each interaction, finger movements are informed by tactile sensations. When we position a pencil in our hand or search for a key in our pocket, the mechanoreceptors buried in our skin inform us about the state of the object touched a

Ensuring the reliability of a number of systems (aircraft, trains, nuclear power plants) is a critical issue, where many lives can be at stake. Over the past decades, advances in modeling, computing, and parallelization capabilities have made the modeling of increasingly complex structures operation

In the current environmental context, it is becoming urgent to implement innovative industrial design methods. The development of eco-industrial parks (or ecoparks) is part of this logic, with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of industries while reducing their environmental impacts. The pri
