Arrowhead Flexible Production Value Networks

Project description

Industrial productivity through smart interoperability

Modern industrial production faces mounting challenges due to complex, fragmented, and rigid information systems that hinder efficiency and adaptability. As companies strive to remain competitive, seamless data exchange across production networks is essential for enhancing productivity and flexibility. However, the lack of standardised, autonomous interoperability solutions slows down operations and increases costs. In this context, the EU-funded Arrowhead fPVN project aims to double European industrial productivity by revolutionising information interoperability in production value networks. By leveraging microservices, widely accepted industrial data models, and automatic translation between them, the project will enable resilient, adaptive manufacturing. Validated in 11 use cases across key industries, its technology promises cost and time reductions in production network management.

Objective

The Ambition for Arrowhead fPVN project is Doubling of the European industrial productivity by applying transformative, autonomous and evolvable information interoperability for resilient and adaptive production value networks. Hence, the Arrowhead flexible Production Value Network (fPVN) project will provide autonomous and evolvable interoperability of information through machine-interpretable content for fPVN stakeholders. The resulting technology is projected to substantially impact manufacturing productivity and flexibility.

Autonomous and evolvable interoperability will be achieved through common project technology based on three pillars:
1. Microservices paradigm,
2. Utilization of major industrially accepted data models,
3. Automatic translation between the data models.

The common technology will be validated and verified in 11 use cases covering the production value networks in the following industrial production domains:
Semiconductor production,
Automotive services,
Aerospace services,
Green energy conversion, and
Process industry production.

The results are expected to considerably impact the efficiency of both local and global production value networks thanks to substantial cost and time reduction for setting up, operating, and managing the interactions within production value.
