The RepAIR project rests on two main pillars:
1. The first is an integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) system that predicts the remaining useful life (RUL) of aircraft components. Atos collaborated with Cranfield University to develop a hybrid remaining useful life prediction system based on both physical simulation and data analysis. This system proposes a physics-based model, simulating system operation using various finite element analysis (FEA) techniques. These models are integrated into a real-time prognostic system, Prognostics Health Management (PHM), which calculates the component's remaining useful life (RUL). The system also incorporates the decision-making process implemented in the aircraft to connect/disconnect the affected system in the event of imminent failure.
2. The second incorporates a decision component, which provides the best option for repair taking into account manufacturing techniques, production costs and product life cycle costs.
-
changer, a system that opens a new dimension in integrated design and manufacturing, especially when seeking customization, design freedom, or object cloning. This technology offers the ability to produce customized products with lower development costs, shorter lead times, and less material waste. It can be used to manufacture complex parts and allows manufacturers to reduce inventory, produce on-demand items, create smaller, more localized manufacturing environments, and even shorten supply chains. In terms of product development, it eliminates barriers to creating parts that might otherwise be considered impossible, as it allows for the integration of multiple parts of an object and their printing as a single unit.
