Data Warehouse

Tender description

The National Composites Centre intends to procure a Data Warehouse to Enable Digital Manufacturing. Recently the NCC was awarded £36.7m to invest in the next generation of composite manufacturing equipment. Ten new capabilities have been purchased that will enable us to continue to provide world-class research and development services to the composite manufacturing community into the next decade. The equipment procured by the NCC is to become Digital-ready. This will be achieved through the addition of sensors to monitor key process variables and intelligent data processing to drive manufacturing decisions. Key to this Digital capability is a data warehousing solution, which is required to store data collected from the manufacturing processes and to allow engineers to query, interrogate and analyse the manufacturing data. These data will be derived from a range of sensors that may include the following: • Thermocouples; • Pressure sensors; • Dielectric sensors; • Thermal cameras; • Visual cameras; • Laser line scanners.
