1. Digitally assisted layout of large equipment
Ingeniería y Diseño Europeo S.A. (IDESA) is an engineering and manufacturing company of equipment for Oil&Gas applications and offshore wind energy. IDESA has a huge expertise in the design and manufacturing of large equipment (up to 15 metres of diameter without weight restrictions) as tanks, vessels, reactors as well as steel foundations, monopiles and transition pieces. With 48’000 m2 of indoors manufacturing areas and privilege location in the Ports of Avilés and Gijón, IDESA meet any demand from the Oil&Gas and Offshore Wind Energy sectors. IDESA has long experience and high reputation in the high quality demanding Oil&Gas sector, so its processes and quality procedures are the most adequate to operate in offshore wind sector.
The aim of this project is the development to layout´s systems ( based on technologies such us, laser or 3D scanner or robots, .. ) which we allow to automation the measure and/or marking of any auxiliar element place on the vessel internal or external surface on pressure equipment of large dimensions.
Actually, it is a manual work and it is used a lot of time in this activity. Also, it is necessary to comprobation by many people before do the cut the sell.
The principal disadvantages are:
• We need to robot with a great ability to move because we don´t have a particular region to work.
• In the process of dimensional must be interactive and precise because it is very important location the ovality from sell.
We look for the collaborating companies which they can help us with development the robot with this application.
