INSIGNIA. Project Description

The project (On-lINe acoustic monitoring system for laSer claddInG aNd additIve manufActuring), approved under the Eurostars-2 call, focuses on developing an online monitoring system using acoustic sensors for crack detection in advanced manufacturing processes (Laser Cladding and Additive Manufacturing).
The contactless, online acoustic monitoring system includes data acquisition and processing capabilities with an Edge computing system, enhanced by a digital platform (a modular and interoperable software architecture) for data collection and aggregation. This aims to foster data exchange and vertical integration, optimizing processes through intelligence-based strategies within a zero-defect manufacturing approach.
INSIGNIA is built on three pillars:
- Acoustic monitoring system
- Data analysis, defect detection, and localization
- Integrated process optimization in LMD manufacturing applications
This project has received funding from the Eurostars-2 joint program, co-financed by CDTI and the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme for Research and Innovation of the European Union.
With a total project budget of €1,582,617.19, CDTI approved a subsidy of €330,616 for the company SYSPRO.
