SACMI-iQonic, the European project on advanced optoelectronic technologies, passes its first review meeting

First stage of project now concluded, opening the way to the testing phase and validation of the methods and technologies developed by the 17 EU partners

The 1st phase of the European iQonic project- which involves 17 European partners, including SACMI, in the development of a scalable ‘zero defects’ platform for the manufacture of advanced optoelectronic components – has been successfully concluded. More specifically, SACMI has placed its ‘component contamination level assessment’ skills at its partners’ disposal by utilizing the sensitivity of its own ‘electronic noses’.
In the first phase of the iQonic R&D activities, the needs and expectation of the consortium as well as of project’s stakeholders were closely observed and extracted from the project use-cases – ALPES LASER, PRIMA ELECTRO, FILAR OPTOMATERIALS and BRIGHTERWAVE. These results have been collected in a detailed list of technical and non-technical requirements and specifications. Moreover, optoelectronic functionalities for each use case, the generic development frameworks for the assembly processes and the data input and output points in the process chain were defined.
This enabled the development and laboratory testing of the iQonic HW and SW technologies, including the iQonic sensorial network, adaptive optics and electronic nose for evaluation of materials, smart grasping robotic for flexible handling and the Knowledge Based System.
In parallel with technical development, a set of innovation management activities took place aiming to develop the roadmap to introduce the iQonic technology to the market, after the end of the project.
In the next months, these technologies will be integrated in the iQonic optoelectronics manufacturing architecture and together with the definition of defect detection and classification techniques - 3D imaging methodologies and smart tagging, defect severity evaluation and decision support systems (DSS), processes and tools for reuse or requalification - and defect management techniques - Predictive Maintenance functionalities: Cyber Physical System - CPS, end-of-life management, Reverse Supply Chain - will pave the way towards zero-defect manufacturing of opto-electronics and photonics.
Eventually, starting from the project 2nd phase (M19-M30), iQonic solutions will be integrated and validated at the shop floor level in several demonstrators at iQonic end-users’ facilities.
About iQonic
The iQonic project stems from the collaboration among companies and research centres in 7 European countries – Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, United Kingdom, Czech Republic and Switzerland – that, under the coordination of the Fraunhofer Institute, aims at developing a scalable zero-defect manufacturing platform that will guarantee the flexibility and sustainability of the production processes in the optoelectronic industry.
