Constantly changing customer needs and demands require TS coating manufacturers to be flexible enough to augment the output of TS processes in an increasingly competitive global market while delivering high-quality products at low cost. These targets can be reached by making use of existing digital technologies to capture and exploit data, leading to highly flexible and reconfigurable coating production processes, optimized equipment usage, predictive maintenance, on-line spray monitoring, and end product (i.e., coatings) quality control. Within the proposed Project it is intended to instrument a high power/enthalpy APS torch with video cameras and acoustic sensors to record continuously the process and further analyze through images and sound processing capabilities based on machine learning algorithms. These video and audio data-sets will be examined for feature selection engineering and extraction and possible trends which can indicate discernible patterns. Ultimately, if a pattern were to arise, machine learning could be leveraged to monitor and automate the spraying process., description french : Développement d’un APS basé sur des données pour la prédiction des paramètres de contrôle associés aux caractéristiques des particules en vol., expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence.
