While the monitoring techniques employed are well established in other fields, their application to the novel processes of ultrasonic and resistance welding of composites is innovative. This study details the adaptation of these techniques to monitor the essential parameters that influence the quality of welds in composite materials within the context of the MFFD (Multi-Functional Fuselage Demonstrator) during the WELDER project. This article presents findings from the application of a sophisticated monitoring system to new welding processes for composites, demonstrating significant enhancements in process control, quality assurance, and operational safety. In ultrasonic welding, temperature, speed, power, amplitude, and displacement were monitored, whereas in resistance welding, voltage, load, and temperature were tracked. This comprehensive data collection is crucial due to the sensitivity of composite materials to welding parameters, which directly affect the integrity and performance of the final product. The data transmission utilized the OPC UA protocol, ensuring secure, reliable real-time data flow to visualization interfaces in safe environments. The integration of real-time monitoring and advanced data analysis helps in identifying potential defects during the welding process, thereby enhancing both the reliability and efficiency of composite welding. The results underscore the potential of these technologies to advance the manufacturing practices for high-performance composite materials in the aeronautics field.
