TAGS: Cost Efficiency Automotive Thermoplastic Composites
Solvay is at the forefront of the industrialization era that is sweeping across the composites industry supply chain. The group is ramping up its efforts to support customer programs and ambitions, focusing on materials, processes and operations.
Developing Cost-efficient Technologies
Solvay is developing cost-efficient technologies and product forms that enable reduced cycle times, a higher degree of structural integration and the utilization of automated fabrication processes. These technologies include both thermoset and thermoplastic composite and bonding innovations for fast-growing markets such as aerospace, automotive and oil & gas.
At the show samples of innovative thermoplastic composites for automotive and oil & gas, as well as a fan blade from the famous CFM LEAP engine will be on display. You can find out more about the breakthrough bonding technology FusePly™at the show too.
Solvay is also strongly engaged in developing advanced process technologies and industrialization concepts through investments in its application centers to demonstrate rate and cost capabilities of these new technologies.
Visitors can watch a new video on its stand showcasing a sub 5 min takt time serial production process and witness the result on a FCA Group door inner demonstrator.
Finally Solvay is investing in step change manufacturing where quality, reliability and productivity are integral to our production, thanks to automated controls and processes, increased capacity and purpose built facilities.
Visitors can talk to the team to see how it is bringing automation, digitization and innovation to its operations.
