Digitalisation of automotive foam manufacturing processes


  • Start: 12/07/2017
  • End: 30/09/2021


The new DIGI4AUT project between the Copo Group's Technological Centre, COPO Business Group and AIMEN Technological Centre arises due to the need to commercialize a wide range of customizable products, contemplating a multitude of combinations in assembly and requiring the development of new strategies. The new advanced factory concept enables an efficient, agile and flexible manufacturing model adapted to vehicle interior components.
DIGI4AUT will focus on digitilizing the manufacturing process as a platform to implement an Advanced Factory 4.0 model, proposing the development of technologies that connect the physical and digital world with the following characteristics: Connectivity: acquisition of all relevant system information; Digitalization: generating a digital twin of the real plant; Reconfigurability: implementing machines, cells and plants reconfigurable and Cognitive: implementing the Cognitive Factory, where machines and processes are readjusted due to manufacturing variations.
DIGI4AUT is te result of the union between COPO Group and AIMEN, by continuing the work developed in the NEWFOAM and HIGHPPE projects, demonstrating the high capacity of collaboration between technology center and company. DIGI4AUT will complement these projects by focusing on digitilizing manufacturing as a platform that in a flexible and efficient way, addresses the manufacture of higher performance foams.
