Automatic determination of quality- and resource-efficient process parameters

Theme	Industry 4.0, Tool- and Mold-Making
Project title	Automatic determination of quality- and resource-efficient process parameters (AutoQuaRP)
Project duration	01.11.2013 – 31.10.2015
Download	Whitepaper "Increase quality, reduce energy consumption – a guideline" (in German)
Press release	Data Mining helps in saving energy

The aim of the research project is the quality-oriented reduction of energy consumption by the example of the injection molding process. As a measure of the energy consumption, the power consumption is used, which is necessary in this process to generate heat, movement and pressure. Reducing energy consumption with the same or improved production rate is achieved by an automatic determination of optimum process parameters.

Many companies can or must reduce energy consumption in their production. The Institut für Integrierte Produktion Hannover (IPH) has developed procedures and a formula with which companies can improve the energy balance. At the same time the quality of products can be increased by this approach.

The method of injection molding is one of the most important processes in the processing of plastics. Thus moldings can be produced economically in large quantities and with a high reproducibility. Besides quality the energy consumption in the production is an important part because of the energy transition and the rising energy prices. In particular, small and medium enterprises from the plastics processing industry in Germany with about 3,000 companies are, therefore, forced to optimize their processes and production equipment energetically.
