Low Cost Automation using Off the Shelf Technologies (LoCOST)
LoCOST (Low Cost Automation using Off the Shelf Technologies) is a research project funded by Boeing with the aim of establishing a pathway, justification and prioritisation for the exploitation of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies within their operations.
The project leverages concepts established in the Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring project, which focusses on small- and medium-sized manufacturers, and considers how these concepts can be applied within a global manufacturer like Boeing. Focus topics include understanding the common low-cost needs within Boeing, reusable patterns for the secure integration of IoT technologies, simplifying data capture from lab equipment, monitoring consumable stock levels and waste monitoring.
