Empowering Advanced Manufacturing Workers through Human-Centric Augmentation

Obiettivo

EMPOWR will advance the vision of Industry 5.0 by placing human workers at the centre of next-generation manufacturing through adaptive augmentation technologies. The project develops a cognitive ecosystem that combines Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality, and Digital Twins to enhance worker safety, inclusivity, and productivity in industrial environments. Two pilot cases, namely thermoplastic composite layup in aerospace (Automated Fiber Placement) and smart automated PET preform production, will demonstrate the adaptability of the solutions across both low-volume/high-complexity and automated production contexts. At the core of the ecosystem is ALMA (Adaptive Learning Manufacturing Assistant), a multimodal AI assistant designed to provide real-time, personalised support via natural interaction. ALMA is complemented by an adaptive AR workbench, real-time defect detection, worker intention prediction, and strain monitoring systems, all integrated through a standardised DT framework aligned with IDTA and EU standards. Together, these tools create closed-loop interactions between workers, machines, and management systems, enabling predictive guidance, ergonomic optimisation, and early risk prevention. To ensure inclusivity and acceptance, EMPOWR adopts a Living Labs methodology, engaging workers, managers, and stakeholders in participatory co-design, scenario building, and iterative validation. SSH expertise will shape ethical, psychological, and organisational dimensions, ensuring trust, fairness, and compliance with EU AI and OHS regulations. Expected outcomes include reduced defect rates and downtime, improved ergonomics and well-being, faster worker upskilling through adaptive training modules, and actionable insights for EU Industry 5.0 policies. EMPOWR contributes directly to Europe’s twin green and digital transitions, positioning European manufacturing as more resilient, competitive, and attractive for current and future generations.
