  • Patent number: 11579585
    Abstract: Method and system for optimizing the arrangement of a set of aircraft parts on a plate. The system includes a selection module which selects, from a set of data on the material of the set of parts and a set of geometric data associated with the set of parts, part grouping criteria including at least one optimized plate thickness value, an optimization module for optimizing the arrangement of the set of parts on a plate as a function of the part grouping criteria, cutting criteria and optimization criteria and a transmission module generating and transmitting, to a user system, optimization data representative of the optimization of the arrangement of the set of parts. The system makes it possible to take account of the parameters linked to the dimensions of the plate to optimize the arrangement of the set of parts.

  • Publication number: 20210268620
    Abstract: A method for optimizing the execution of automated drilling systems controlled by a numerical control, NC, machine, wherein the NC machine performs the following steps: (i) identifying each drill executed by an automated drilling tool at first drilling event (t); storing a theoretical position of each executed drill at the event (t); (iii) calculating a learned position using a machine learning model and based on the stored theoretical position at the event (t); (iv) estimating an intermediate position by applying a tendency statistical function, and (v), if the difference between the intermediate position and the learned position is less than a pre-configured threshold, using the intermediate position for the drilling tool to position a next drill and execute it at a subsequent event (t+1).
