AI-Enabled Solutions for Smart Lightweighting
About
Alp Aviation and Alpata Technology, as group companies under the same corporate structure offers AI-powered software innovations that align closely with the goals of the Eureka Lightweighting Call. Our solutions enhance lightweight component design, structural health monitoring, and manufacturing efficiency across sectors such as aerospace and mobility.
Key contributions include:
-
Digital twin models for real-time structural health monitoring and lifecycle prediction
-
AI-based intelligent process control to optimize bonding and reduce material/energy waste
-
Topology optimization and surrogate modeling to support smart lightweight design
-
AI-driven quality assurance in additive manufacturing for thin, multi-material parts
-
Simulation acceleration for fatigue analysis and virtual validation of novel lightweight materials
These capabilities directly support TRL 4–6 product and process development, reduce CO₂ emissions and time-to-market, and integrate with broader Industry 4.0 initiatives.
