Janusz Popławski, researcher in the Digitalisation Group at LORTEK and coordinator of 4ZDM Cluster project FLASH-COMP, will answer this question at the Digital Manufacturing Industrial Workshop in Brussels on the 26^th of March.
 
With extensive expertise in digitalisation, process optimisation, and AI applications in manufacturing, Popławski is leading the development of a revolutionary AI-driven quality control system for composite production, through his work at LORTEK and with the FLASH-COMP project.
 
His presentation at this important event is titled: “ZDM with FLASH-COMP: Reducing waste with AI in resin infusion composite production,” and it will unveil how machine learning, real-time defect detection, and automation are reshaping quality control in industries such as aerospace, marine, and automotive manufacturing.
 
By integrating advanced sensors, predictive analytics, and digital decision-support tools, FLASH-COMP aims to cut waste by 30% and significantly enhance production efficiency. Popławski will discuss early test results, demonstrating how AI is identifying and correcting defects in vacuum resin infusion processes before they impact product quality. He will also explore the broader implications of zero-defect manufacturing (ZDM) and its role in Europe’s sustainability and climate neutrality goals.
 
Attendees will gain exclusive insights into how AI and digital manufacturing are setting new standards for quality, efficiency, and sustainability in composite production.
 
Join us in Brussels on 26^th of March to hear from Janusz Popławski and other leading experts on how they are shaping the future of smart manufacturing.
