Driving Innovation Through Digitalization of Processes and Components in the Composite Materials Industry

Composite materials play a critical role in high-performance structures, where ensuring reliable operation throughout their service life is essential. Equally important is maintaining precise control over their manufacturing processes to guarantee consistent quality. This presentation explores several case studies demonstrating how digital technologies—such as embedded sensors, real-time data acquisition, and dedicated algorithms—enable improved manufacturing optimization and structural health monitoring. Together, these examples illustrate how digitalization can enhance performance, reduce risk, and drive innovation across the composite materials value chain.
