The cluster is positioned as a key player in the transformation of
the “businesses of tomorrow”

Polymeris has included key digital transition issues relating to the polymer, composite and rubber industry in its roadmap. These factors concern not only the challenges of developing high value-added products with integrated communication or interactive functions, but also improving the industrial performance of production processes, through digital data acquisition and processing technologies.

More broadly, the cluster is positioned as a key player in the transformation of the “businesses of tomorrow”. The performance and functionality of rubber, plastics and composites are constantly improving, integrating advanced materials, electronics and textiles and combining advanced production technologies, in keeping with our roadmap for future industry.

What are the priorities for Phase V?

On the topic of digital transition, Polymeris offers its members project emergence days and industrial efficiency days with presentations by innovative solution providers. On the subjects of workshop supervision, production automation or predictive maintenance with the contribution of artificial intelligence. These topics make sense in the context of soaring energy costs.

For the projects whose R&D phase is finished, POLYMERIS accompanies to help the industrialization through its label, and participates in the industrial development in the territories in connection with the program "PME invest" of France Clusters. These new technologies represented by our most innovative members, from start-ups to large groups, participate in the acceleration of the sector's growth. Directly linked to the “Territoires d'industrie” program, the potential of innovative SMEs brought to this stage thanks to the Cluster's contribution constitutes a breeding ground for transforming R&D into products manufactured in the territories.

The cluster's key actions

Focus on the BEinCPPS project

This project, oriented towards the Factory of the Future, involved two French member structures: the CEA and the Georges Pernoud group. Result: the integration of this technology by the Georges Pernoud group in its product range for a short-term industrialization.

Funding

Funded under the H2020 program, Factory of the Future, and supported by Politecnico di Milano.

Objective

Integrate and experiment cyber-physical production systems (CPS), centered on a platform combining factory/machine/cloud.

Titre

Développement d’un moule connecté, le Smart Tool, pour apporter plus d’intelligence au procédé d’injection des thermoplastiques, améliorer l’efficacité énergétique et faciliter la gestion de production et la maintenance des outillages

Results

Development of a connected mold, the Smart Tool, to bring more intelligence to the thermoplastic injection process, improve energy efficiency and facilitate production management and tooling maintenance.
