Plataine announced winner of the '2016 Innovation in Composite Manufacture Award' by Composites UK

Plataine's Industry 4.0 Context-aware Computing solution leverages the Industrial IoT (IIoT) to create Digital Thread and part genealogy records for composites part manufacturing.

The solution demonstrates how greater digital context enables better decision making, while reducing risk and pushing the productivity envelope; how weaving the digital thread is crucial for reducing rework, scrap, as well as enhancing quality, and quality control, to ensure compliance with strict OEM's regulations and on-time delivery.

Not least, the solution gives full traceability from raw materials to finished part and can identify damaged material or parts during fabrication. There is complete certainty that all affected kits or parts are located, collected and handled.
