After a four-year ambitious challenge, the EU-funded MultiFAL project is entering its final phase with excellent results for the aeronautical assembly industry: the development of a full size automated plant system for joining thermoplastic fuselage shells that accommodates the existing assembly plant system at the topic managers\u2019 facility.<\/strong><\/p>\n Led by CT and incorporating the expertise of FFT and AIMEN, this initiative will contribute to reducing the commissioning time of automated plant systems up to 20% by using virtual commissioning tools. It will also help increase the level of detail for production steps by around 25% by implementing interfaces between plant system and production control.<\/p>\n CT has been responsible for the design and final testing of the fuselage demonstrator. The implementation of 3DEXPERIENCE on a cloud platform has been crucial to ensure quick and easy collaboration between all partners (designers, managers and external suppliers) for the storage, creation and exchange of all project information: design files, from concept designs in CATIA V5 to final 3D environment in CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE, manufacturing drawings and documentation in a wide range of file formats. The platform was also used for project management activities, such as assigning tasks, defining deadlines and releasing components for the final design review.<\/p>\n All in all, MultiFAL implements process simulation, automation, plant concepts and virtual commissioning technologies in order to improve assembly process performance and provide a deep understanding of the relevant factors involved in implementing a full size automated plant following a brownfield approach. Different assembly approaches and joining processes for different use-cases have been considered, taking into account the currently existing double-sided and limited accessibility for full fuselage sections. As a result, MultiFAL also facilitates the adaptability of both the robotic machinery and a central control system.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.ctengineeringgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Clean-Sky-2s-MultiFAL-project-has-successfully-completed-an-automated-system-for-joining-thermoplastic-fuselage-shells-1.pdf” button_text=”Download the press release” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#707372″ button_bg_color=”#f7f7f7″ button_border_width=”0px” button_icon=”||divi||400″ button_icon_color=”#707372″ button_icon_placement=”left” button_on_hover=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ctengineeringgroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Clean-Sky-2-Logo.jpeg” title_text=”Clean-Sky-2-Logo” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robotic machinery and control for improved fuselage assembly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":254764,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"\r\n After a four-year ambitious challenge, the EU-funded MultiFAL project is entering its final phase with excellent results for the aeronautical assembly industry: the development of a full size automated plant system for joining thermoplastic fuselage shells that accommodates the existing assembly plant system at the topic managers\u2019 facility.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n Led by CT and incorporating the expertise of FFT and AIMEN, this initiative will contribute to reducing the commissioning time of automated plant systems up to 20% by using virtual commissioning tools.
