The ACCURATE project is dedicated to transforming the European manufacturing sector by delivering resilient and sustainable Manufacturing as a Service (MAAS) solutions. These innovations aim to enhance the competitiveness, performance stability, and sustainability of manufacturing companies and value chains, enabling them to better navigate both long-term disruptions and immediate challenges. To achieve these objectives, ACCURATE will develop innovative approaches and deliver an integrated set of results, culminating into:
• a human-centric Decision Support System offering a better understanding of the impact of unforeseen events on manufacturing and industrial networks, providing timely, optimal and robust manufacturing supply and value chains design, planning, stress testing, reconfiguration and recovery, and improving their circularity and sustainability
performances;
• a Manufacturing As A Service framework covering multiple critical supply and value chains, leveraging data space technologies as well as multi-scale and multi-level Digital Twins and co-simulation, delivering swift adaptation capabilities of logistics and production that are technically and economically viable;
• an open, standard-based, federated, trusted data space and ecosystem integrating data flows, models, and tools across actors in manufacturing value chains, creating smart manufacturing networks empowering humans and organizations to share valuable information and collaborate on MAAS solutions while retaining full sovereignty over their sensitive data and intellectual property.
ACCURATE results will be validated in 3 pivotal use cases covering multiple key European industrial sectors and value networks (aerospace, automotive, biotech, energy, medical, mobility).
The ACCURATE consortium acknowledges the transformative potential of data spaces and ecosystems in revolutionizing business models and value propositions and will leverage these technologies and approaches to achieve impact, create resilient manufacturing networks, instigate deep innovation and accelerate results adoption.
