Obsolescence, "the transition from the state of availability to the state of unavailability of an entity from its manufacturer according to the original specification" is inevitable. Changes in technology and requirements generate obsolescence that makes repair or maintenance or upgrading difficult.

The next generation of Cyber-Physical Enterprises must reach a satisfactory level of flexibility and efficiency that better integrates humans and give human-machine teams complete autonomy for some tasks including ad-hoc reconfigurations and non-predefined problem-solving. Efficient Human-CPS collab

MAGNELIN4D is a multidisciplinary project that aims at developing new smart materials with programmable magnetic actuation using additive manufacturing and artificial intelligence. MAGNELIN4D gathers a consortium of 4 academic partners and 1 SEM to perform an applied research balanced between materi

For several decades, many social and economic studies have shown that the deterioration of our environment and climate change are due to our consumption patterns. From a societal point of view, behavioural changes in consumption and usage patterns would have to be drastic to have a rapid and positiv

At least 25% of marine accidents result from drowsiness. Direct evaluations are missing in relation with the impact of the level of vigilance on navigation performance. The SIRENE project proposes to determine the most discriminating physiological and behavioral variables to monitor vigilance with t

Modern production environments are complex and stressful for production process supervisors. To facilitate this supervision, the use of Human-Systems Interactions, integrating decision support tools, is recommended. The performance of these interactions must be realized in a global way, by ensuring

The recent covid-19 propagation and increasing number of burnouts has put the relevance of workload balancing back on the researchers’ and practitioners’ agenda. The project BALANCE responds to the required effort to study how to obtain workload balancing via work design – which we aim to operationa

Although additive manufacturing (AM) has big potentials to print quite complex structures, the design and printing preparation is still quite chanllenge, especilly for complex fine porous structures. To avoid the accuracy loss along the AM processing chain, this research proposes to develop a new ge

According to the practical requirements of the factory of the future, this project combines the recent advancements in different domains to develop an explainable intelligent maintenance system (X-IMS) that enables both self-monitoring and decision-making support functionalities for connected manufa

The project SHAIR aims to define the drilling of the future, and its place in the technical and social organization of the company. It is particularly positioned in the aeronautics sector. Indeed, on the production and assembly lines, this operation takes an important place since it intervenes on pa

The development potential of additive manufacturing (AM) in the coming years is very important, especially in the fields of aeronautics and medicine. This process, the mastery and development of which are at the heart of the challenges of the Industry of the Future, is expected to increase in produc

The GreeenLocal3D project focuses on models and experiments to facilitate the short circuit recycling of post-consumer plastic waste to be recovered and enhanced by additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In a new "distributed recycling" paradigm, this process must be accomplished by affordable and f

The objective of the TOMORO project is to control in real time the trajectory of an industrial robot taking into account the tool-material interaction variability and the workpiece springback during incremental forming. We hypothesize that the method which consists in (i) modeling the stress and str

Ensuring high reliability with low operational costs is an important operational requirement for future manufacturing systems (e.g., smart factory, intelligent production lines). Traditional reliability approaches, however, cannot be directly applied, as they require large amount of historical failu

In metal additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion, the mechanical characteristics and geometry of the produced parts are generated during the manufacturing process. These two aspects are greatly influenced by the laser spot trajectories and by the local control of the energy provided to the

In today's Industry 4.0, the manufacturing sector has become very vulnerable to cyber attacks on their networked control systems (NCS). NCSs are now considered a special form of cyber-physical systems where cyber elements collaborate to control physical entities. They operate in networked environmen

The factory of the future must ensure flexible, reliable and efficient production. For the production of silicone parts, widely used in industry, current processes based on molding and injection techniques do not meet these requirements. Additive manufacturing (AM) should overcome these problems. Ho
