Outline of the presentation: 1: Present the EU FP7 Project SuPLight

2: Present the IMS MTP SuPLight

Sustainable Lightweight Solutions in the Transportation Sector

SuPLight

Sustainable and efficient Production of Light weight solutions

4

Small-scale collaborative project in FP7-NMPJune 2011 – May 2014Coordinator: SINTEF Raufoss ManufacturingWeb-site: www.suplight-eu.org

• Rationale: – Lightweight component and solutions increasingly important– Aluminium have large potentials for dramatic weight reduction

• Goals: – New industrial models for sustainable lightweight solutions– 75% recycling in high-end structural components – Product and process optimization with up to 50% increased

weight/performance ratio– Bridge from atomic-scale to continuum FEM simulations– Novel business models with a holistic life cycle view and higher

reactivity to customer– Lightweight solutions in a closed-loop life cycle perspective

Revenue Streams

SuPLight focuses the interdependencies between business model and industry model to offer a industrial added value in the three fields value chain opportunities, operational opportunities and financial opportunities. The enhancement of procedural and operative performance is the driver for following the industrial model.

Project Status• Wrought alloys: Generic test components based on

new wrought model alloys produced and tested

• Simulation/optimisation: Framework for a holistic modelling approach established, including multi scale, multi discipline and optimisation. Plug-ins in progress.

• LCA: Material (scenarios) and information flows have been determined

• Industry modeling: Key factors are identified, Method „BETA“ (Business Ecosystem vs. Technology assessment) is concepted

• Test cases for demo: Defined with respect to performance, sustainability (goals) objectives, & Industrial means for real production

Development of Community and definition of targeted actions

• During this activity the core consortium will be built

• The main groups of interest in the involved IMS regions will be identified and target objectives will be defined.

• Contacts with the competent standardization working groups will be established in order to evaluate opportunities for contribution to relevant standards.

International Collaboration Workshops• The group will start a series of workshops to

foster the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to the goals of the project

• Some these workshops will be held together with those of the targeted existing standardization actions, so as to support integration.

Industrial testing pilots • The concepts and models developed within the SuPLight

FP7 project and within the expanded MTP Project team will be tested and verified within application scenarios.

• Industrial Pilots will take place in firms that are part of the FP7 SuPLight project and also in firms that are part of the larger MTP Project

• New Wrought Al Alloys testing• New Al Extrusion Process Testing• New Auto Parts Design Testing• Model Testing
