WASABI
"Tools-integrated assistance system for production control in injection moulding of highly complex and demanding component specifications
Problem Statement
- Permanent operating point monitoring
 - In situ quality control
 - Efficient process adaptations
 - Loss of knowledge on start-stop production processes due to the elimination of co-workers
 - Avoidance of rejects and downtimes
 
Approach to Solution
- Implementation of sensors in injection moulds
 - Combination of OptiCheck and EDS sensor signals
 - Hardware and software development for the application of machine learning methods
 - Integration and improvement of classification algorithms
 
Target
Realization of a digital assistance system for production optimization in plastic injection moulding.
