PENELOPE

The project

Machining large parts requires more than just a lot of space. There is also a variety of sub-assemblies and the capability to customise (build to customer demands). This high degree of personalisation hinges on the design and the posterior verification after manufacturing. With this in mind, the EU-funded PENELOPE project will develop a methodology linking product-centric data management and production planning and scheduling in a closed-loop digital pipeline. The aim is to ensure accurate and precise manufacturability from the initial product design. The project is built to develop the methodology and vision in the following sectors: oil and gas, shipbuilding, aeronautics, and bus and coach. It will also provide the training enabling the workforce transition towards Industry 4.0.
