Automated production of freight-wagon superstructures and workplace optimisation

The project is a research and development collaboration between EUDOM and INNODULER. It focuses on developing technology for the robotic welding of large welded assemblies and the automated production of modular freight-wagon superstructure subassemblies. The production-technology work also encompasses digitalised energy-efficiency monitoring and improvements to indoor workplace quality.

Purpose and development focus

The project brings together production automation, energy data and working conditions in an industrial environment. Its publicly stated development priorities are:

• developing technology for the robotic welding of large welded assemblies;

• automating the robotic welding of modular superstructure subassemblies;

• integrating digitalised energy-efficiency monitoring;

• improving indoor workplace quality;

• developing an improved production process for industrial use.

EUDOM's role

EUDOM was the formal applicant and lead partner of the project consortium. In this capacity, it participated in preparing and submitting the joint project application and represented the consortium during the project procedure.

EUDOM's publicly documented substantive activity is professional training delivered in December 2024 together with researchers from INNODULER. The training covered Microsoft Power BI for data analysis and visualisation, as well as potential applications of artificial-intelligence components. The examples presented also included energy-consumption data.

Project partner

INNODULER is the project's industrial partner, active in freight-wagon superstructure production, metalworking and robotic welding. Its production and development environment provides the context in which the project solutions were intended to be applied.

Duration and funding

The project poster states an implementation period from November 2023 to April 2025. At approval, the published total planned value was EUR 563,644.63, including EUR 299,903.82 in co-financing. The project was selected under the JR RRI NOO public call for research and development projects supporting the green transition and digitalisation.
