KORESIL

Concepts for the resource-efficient and reliable production of lightweight structures, Subproject: Cyber-physical interfaces for robotised injection moulding

The goal of the KORESIL project was to promote technological and social innovations for resource-efficient lightweight engineering in equal measure. To this end, a process chain based on five sub-technologies with a closed material cycle was developed, physically installed in a spatially distributed manner. At the same time, digital twins were used to create a virtual representation of this process chain. By linking the real process technology and the digital tools with adapted interfaces and visualization methods, an extended optimization and analysis potential was made available with regard to the entire process chain and the product life cycle.

This enables increased resource efficiency in the process chain as well as the development and testing of new concepts and tools for work organisation and employee training. In particular, potential applications for socio-technical systems were demonstrated based on extended reality technology and their influence on safe and attractive workplace design was analyzed.

It contains detailed information on resource-efficient lightweight engineering technologies.

At the end of the project, the KORESIL consortium published an interactive white paper containing comprehensive information on resource-efficient lightweight engineering technologies. The technological results of the KORESIL project are also described here in detail. The interactive whitepaper consists of a generally understandable booklet and a total of six more focussed online whitepapers (Whitepaper KORESIL).
