A4BLUE followed an iterative an incremental implementation loop to provide initial prototypes and working proofs of concepts to validate the defined approach before completing the developments. As a result, A4BLUE generated tangible and intangible results (e.g. know-how or approaches to identify socio economic assessment indicators). Furthermore, four use case applications have been implemented to cover the specifications of the use case scenarios involved in the project.
The tangible results are:
- The A4BLUE Adaptive Framework which includes, in turn, other results such as:
• Semantic virtual asset representation
• Collaborative asset manager
• Mediation services (for the integration with legacy systems)
• Device manager (for interoperable plug & produce function with automation mechanisms)
• Context aware multichannel interaction manager
• Virtual Reality /Augmented Reality tool for assembly and auxiliary processes
• Collaborative Knowledge Management Platform
• Decision support dashboard and monitoring system
• Model and tool for assessment of worker satisfaction
• Methods and tools for the definition of the optimal level of automation
- Automation mechanisms
• Deburring robot
• Automated tool trolley for tool provision, which includes verbal and non-verbal human machine interaction mechanism
From these tangible results, A4BLUE has identified key exploitable ones and further analysed them by characterising all the A4BLUE key exploitable results, by defining and evaluating their risks and by understanding customer needs to identify a clear value proposition.
The project results have been disseminated by using different channels, mainly through the participation in events, conferences and workshops and through the publication of whitepapers, news, newsletters and press releases on the project social media channels.
