MARPOSS IS PARTNER IN THE MUPROD PROJECT OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION

Marposs has become partner in the MUPROD Project, within the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.

The project aims at developing an innovative Quality Control System that will drastically change the current concept of End Of Line quality control, going beyond established methodologies such as Six-sigma and SPC. It will prevent the generation of defects within the process at single stage and the propagation of defects between processes at multi-stage system level. Application domains will include emerging strategic European sectors such as the production of electrical engines for sustainable mobility, large-part manufacturing for the wind power sector and the production of customised micro-intravascular catheters as high value medical products for the aging society.

Marposs takes pride in joining the truly innovative vision of a manufacturing process that can be made free of defects by detecting and intervening on the defect root causes even before they generate manifest nonconformance. It is an approach that reflects Marposs philosophy based on monitoring, measuring and, wherever possible, instantly correcting the process mechanics at their very heart. To attain reliable prognostic capability, networks of sensors and measuring equipment must be combined with a deep understanding of the underlying process physics. Marposs has the technology and the expertise requested to contribute to the advancement of the industrial sectors that are the strategic forehead of the European economy. We are therefore excited at joining forces with the prestigious academies, innovation centres and corporations partnering in the MUPROD Project.
