Robustness, Quality and Traceability in Production

09:00 – 09:30	REGISTRATION AND BREAKFAST
09:30 – 09:40	WELCOME BY PROFESSOR HANS NØRGAARD HANSEN
09:40 – 10:15	MODULAR BASED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Niels Henrik Mortensen, Head of Section, Professor, Mechanical Engineering, DTU The presentation explains how modular product development can significantly reduce time to market for new products. Also, the innovation level can be increased due to a more focused approach. The basic principles will be described: Interfaces stable over time, right number of architectures and scalability of key systems and modules. In more than 20 years, Professor Niels Henrik Mortensen has studied 200+ industrial projects on modularity and developed a state of the art method for developing product families.
10:15 – 10:50	REAL TIME QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM FOR DEFECT-FREE MANUFACTURING OF CRITICAL AEROSPACE COMPONENTS Roberto Perez, Head of Industry 4.0, GF Machining Solutions Current challenges regarding productivity and costs in the manufacturing of critical aerospace components require new solutions for ensuring quality and traceability following complex manufacturing processes. A new system for providing real time monitoring of critical indicators of surface quality is presented which guarantees compliance with certified signatures associated with the part model and manufactured component. Perspectives in self-optimising processes are also presented based on the information obtained from use cases with Electric Discharge Machining and Milling technologies. Roberto Perez holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and a MBA from the Open University, UK. He was formerly responsible of Applied Research for GF Machining Solutions and is currently leading and coordinating the Industry 4.0 activities across the division for all manufacturing technologies
10:50 – 11:10	BREAK
11:10 – 11:45	IN-LINE X-RAY VISION ANALYSIS Lars Holmberg, Sales Manager, Sensor & NDE Innovation, FORCE Technology X-ray gives you the ability to visualize the invisible. FORCE Technology has developed, manufactured and sold X-ray vision systems both as an OEM supplier and as its own brand for more than 25 years. The improved reliability of the x-ray sources and the more advanced detectors give us new possibilities to utilize the techniques in new fields on more complexed structures. The talk will concentrate on industrial cases using in-line X-ray vision analysis. Lars Holmberg holds a M.Sc. Weld, B.Sc. Mech and is Sales Manager Sensor and NDE Innovation at FORCE Technology.
11:45 – 12:20	SENSOR SYSTEMS INTEGRATION FOR PROCESS AND SYSTEM MONITORING AND CONTROL Finn Hunneche, Managing Partner, emendo A/S The presentation will describe how wireless sensors systems based on GSM technology and cloud computing, is already impacting production monitoring and control. It addition there will be a look into the future of how the technology can change design of products and services. Finally the information overload challenge will be discussed. Finn Hunneche holds a Master of Science Engineering. He was employed at Novo Nordisk A/S from 1992-1996 and is now an emendo A/S & blackbird managing partner.
12:20 – 13:20	LUNCH
13:20 – 13:55	INTEGRATED PROCESS MONITORING FOR ZERO-DEFECT MANUFACTURING Giuliano Bissacco, Associate Professor, DTU Mechanical Engineering Process monitoring is a fundamental tool for obtaining information on the status of a manufacturing process and can be used to improve product quality, enhance process safety, and to optimise the process for economical production of high-quality products. In this presentation, the benefits of integrated process monitoring and control for implementation of fully automated zero-defect production are presented through application in Robot Assisted Polishing and micro EDM. Giuliano Bissacco is Associate Professor in tooling processes and process chains at DTU Mechanical Engineering. He holds a PhD in Manufacturing Engineering (2004) and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering (2000). His activity encompasses development, analysis, modelling and optimization of precision and micro manufacturing processes and systems. He is associate member of CIRP (International Academy for Production Engineering). He is author and co-author of more than 80 peer-reviewed international publications including journal articles, conference papers, and book chapters.)
13:55 – 14:30	USE OF SPC AND MEASURED DATA FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF PRODUCTION PROCESSES Jørgen Meinertz, Production Engineer & CEO, Metrologic Aps The only way to document the quality of produced parts and demonstrate the quality improvement is through the use of statistical methods. One of the most commonly used methods is SPC-charts. They should be used directly after the outcome of the production and can be done based on the results calculation of capability indices. This presentation explains the advantages of this approach. Jørgen Meinertz was employed as Quality Manager at BBI for 18 years. After 4 years as Senior Consultant at Teknologisk Institut, he founded his own company, Metrologic. In the last 15 years, he also has been chair of DS S238 Applied Statistics and convenor of ISO TC69 SC4 WG 11 Capability and Performance.
14:30 – 14:50	BREAK
14:50 – 15:25	ROBUST PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WITH THE VARIATION MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (VMF) Thomas Howard, Associate Professor, DTU Mechanical Engineering The Variation Management Framework (VMF) provides a link between the variation in process parameters through the variation induced in assembly and design parameters (part dimensions) to the variation in the product’s functional performance and the quality loss experienced by the customer. The variation is multiplied in each domain by sensitivity values (robustness metrics) and can be absorbed by assembly sequences. The VMF can be built stage by stage to manage product robustness throughout the design process. Once in production, the VMF can be used to monitor variation not at the part tolerance level but at the level of the product’s functional performance. Thomas J. Howard was the founder of the DTU Robust Design Group and Chair of the Design Society SIG on Robust Design. The DTU Robust Design approach starts with kinematics and exact constraints theory before robustness optimisation. Thomas is the Innovation Responsible for DTU MEK, Winner of the DTU Innovation Award 2014 and CTO of Spin-out MASH Biotech.
15:25 – 16:00	CHARACTERIZATION OF SURFACES IN PRODUCTION René Hansen, Project manager / Mold designer / Measuring technician, Michael Lundbech A/S The very high demands of surface roughness quality combined with the need for documented validation often requires control of the surface quality on external equipment. If this validation fails, it can require a new operation to redo the surface or even the need to do a new parts from scratch. We will show examples of measuring with Scattered Light technology using an instrument from the German company Optosurf. Using this type of instrument makes it possible to measure surfaces inline in a production without any physical contact to the parts. René Hansen, project manager at Michael Lundbech A/S, is a toolmaker and a mold designer. René Hansen has worked in the mold business over the past 25 years and has acquired extensive experience with molds and measuring techniques. The last 10 years, he has worked as a project Manager and has specialized in surface finishing on molds.
