Trans-IND will cover the whole range of activities from gathering customer needs and requirements to specification for modular design (taking into account the whole life cycle) of the transport infrastructure components, off-site components manufacturing, logistics, transport and on-site assembly together with the ICT tools needed to manage and handle the whole process. The off-site manufacturing will be flexible answering both to the whole range of transport infrastructures and building components and its variable demand. It will be very close to flexible advanced manufacturing sectors. The on-site assembly will benefit from modular and adaptive plug-in joint solutions arising from the concept design of the components, together with the use of RFID for improved material flow control and traceability, lightweight cranes, intelligent positioning systems, ICTs and robotics applications.
The present project intends to transform a supply–driven and resources-based sector into a sustainable demand-driven one, that is user-oriented, flexible, creative, innovative, performance and knowledge-based, being the ultimate goal the efficiency of resources in the whole process and life cycle. For this purpose a full reengineering that integrates the full supply and value chain of the transport infrastructure construction and of the components manufacturing process shall be carried out.
The main breakthrough of the Trans-IND approach is a flexible, cost-effective, performance and sustainable knowledge-based industrialisation system of FRP components for transport infrastructures through the whole integration of the construction process fulfilling users and clients demands addressing their needs and requirements, social acceptance, standardization, on-site needs, nD industrial models, design, procurement, manufacturing process, logistics and assembly/disassembly.
