Rotor blades are still made almost completely by hand. In the “BladeMaker“ project, Fraunhofer IWES scientists, industrial and research partners are searching for automation solutions in order to make the manufacture of rotor blades more cost effective, quicker and with a higher quality. BMWi, 10/2012 - 03/2018

Within the project, we will extend a reference architecture for digital twins in such a way that it can represent modularity and take into account modifications incorporated into the system. The developed procedures are applied by estimating the residual service life of components and put to the test on the Adwen AD 8-180 research turbine. VGB-Forschungsstiftung, 07/2021 - 06/2022
