Capability of Rolling Efficiency for 100M High-Speed Rails
- OG Technologies, Inc., Ann Arbor, MI (United States)
OG Technologies, Inc. (OGT), along with its academic and industrial partners, proposes this CORE project for the Capability of Rolling Efficiency for 100m high-speed rails. The goal is to establish the competitive advantage, and thus the sustainability of the US-based rail manufacturers by greatly enhanced efficiency through innovative in-line metrology technology, in-depth process knowledge, and advanced process control to overcome detrimental factors such as higher labor costs that are saddling the US manufacturing sector. This Phase I project was carried out by an industrial-academia team over 9 months. The R&D team successfully completed all technical tasks and accomplished the objectives for the Phase I. In addition to the technical efforts, the introductory information of this project as well as anticipated progress was disseminated to steel mills interested in the project. The Phase I project has established the technical and commercial basis for additional development. There are needs to further completing the in-line sensing capability, deepening the capability of metamodeling, and supporting the process monitoring and control. The R&D team plans to submit a Phase II proposal based on the findings.
