OsTOS: Oven System for Tailored Organo Sheets

The OSTOS project focuses on developing a novel textile-based sensor system for monitoring structural changes and deformations in lightweight structures. Aimed at sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering, the project emphasizes the integration of flexible, textile-embedded sensor networks capable of real-time strain and deformation detection. This innovative approach enhances the safety and durability of complex structures by allowing continuous monitoring without invasive procedures.

The OSTOS system leverages advanced sensor materials and smart textile manufacturing techniques to produce cost-effective, adaptable, and durable sensor arrays. These arrays are seamlessly integrated into composite structures to detect minor stress points, contributing to predictive maintenance and reduced lifecycle costs. The project’s objectives include creating prototypes, validating their performance under real-world conditions, and demonstrating their applicability in various industry-relevant scenarios. Successful implementation aims to set new standards in structural health monitoring technology.
