The quality control of machined composite materials is largely carried out without any network connection. As a result, deviations in quality go unnoticed and changes in the process cannot be responded to in time.
Math & Tech Engineering has now developed an inspection device that closes this gap. Our mobile AICC 2.0 captures damage on components semi-automatically and with minimal effort, which makes it particularly suitable for complex CFRP parts in small and medium batches.
The device is integrated into networked production through a local server and a cloud-based one. By creating interfaces to machine tools and components, and by developing and implementing self-learning algorithms, process control and quality control gain in transparency, reproducibility and documentation of the measurement results. The AICC 2.0 thus opens the door to digitalised quality assurance in manufacturing, particularly for smaller companies.
