Project description
Framework improving manufacturer collaboration
The rising costs of machinery, increasingly larger specialised machines, supply and transport expenses and material scarcity have created a need for enhanced interconnectedness and collaboration in industrial sectors. The EU-funded MEDUSA project aims to develop an innovative, secure-by-design framework using the manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) paradigm. This framework will establish digital connections and collaboration between companies, enabling secure data exchange and access to cutting-edge tools to promote sustainability and efficiency. Additionally, improved access to marketplaces will allow manufacturers to share resources and optimise production efforts, while the integration of automation and AI-based tools will enhance monitoring and tracking for users.
Objective
The project's main objective is to develop a highly innovative, secure-by-design framework that fully exploits the MaaS paradigm. This framework will offer secure data exchange between companies and cutting-edge tools to enhance production efficiency and sustainability. The MEDUSA framework will establish a seamless connection between existing marketplaces, facilitating optimized production by leveraging users' machinery and shared resources from other manufacturers. All resources will be treated as part of a distributed Cyber-Physical System of Systems (CPSoS), maximizing production. The implementation of an automation layer will enable the exchange of real-time production data and asset monitoring, allowing for the tracing and optimization of the product life cycle. The framework will also support the implementation of a DPP and provide AI-based tools for manufacturers to support decision-making for production planning, remanufacturing, and machine reconfiguration, always being energy-aware.
