LISI GROUP - Integrated report 2023

36 2 0 2 3 I N T E G R A T E D R E P O R T STRATEGY Where are you standing regarding the deployment of autonomous machining systems? After the Alpha prototyping phase and the design of Beta series machines, we are in the process of receiving and commissioning one of our first four machines at WhatchOutCorp, the partner with whom we have developed these systems. Everything is going according to plan. Twenty additional machines will be delivered by the end of 2025. The deployment plan provides for the installation of these machines at the Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône plant (north of France), which will operate as a subcontractor for the Saint-Brieuc (west of France), Villefranche‑de‑Rouergue (south of France), Izmir (Turkey) and Rugby (United Kingdom) sites. Before the transfer, an overall control phase will be conducted under real-life conditions in Bonneville, Haute‑Savoie, in a fully integrated 4.0 site. What is your long-term goal? Today these AI-managed machining and integrated control systems allow us to digitize the turning stages – by integrating the geolocation of tools and the gripping of parts – but also to anticipate all the preventive maintenance stages of the machines, to measure and control our consumption of tools and consumables. “20 AI-controlled machines will be in service in 2025.” Cédric Dejean Senior VP General Manager Business Group Fasteners Europe LISI AEROSPACE SELF-LEARNINGMACHININGSYSTEMS #AEROSPACE #ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Innovation Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône plant, north of France (LISI AEROSPACE). This equipment also constitutes a response to the labor shortage problems that we encounter today. Programming is managed directly by the machine as well as the optimization of cutting and feed speeds. Corrections of errors or anomalies are driven by AI in a fully automated manner.
