The main objective has been defining and developing the basis and framework to suitably run the pilot cases in the four industrial partners facilities. Partners has continued working in WP1 with the analysis of requirements, expert knowledge, architecture framework and definition of the KPI. Expert knowledge collection has been continued and the information was deepened and refined to support the ongoing technical WP. In WP2, where the aim is to design an advanced and effective digitisation strategy for the targeted process industries, main activities have been focused on selecting the sensors and equipment to enhance the plants while the edge processing node and the Cloud based data system were completely validated. WP2 has been finished during the second reporting period. In WP3, work has been carried out on the creation of different ML tools for the exploitation of the data obtained. A Big Data architecture has been designed and this architecture has been deployed at the Savvy site. Mining tool is being used in the different industrial use cases to facilitate the determination of models and their characteristics.
WP4, has worked on the integration of the modules and their joint deployment. Work has also been done on the first approximations to the ML models related to both T4.2 and Co-Decide by creating the first version of 1 Digital twin for production optimisation and within T4.3 on the creation of ML models. In WP5, the End Users continued to perform the modifications in their plant to adapt them to the new digitisation solution. The sensors and equipment have been partially installed while the deployment of some sensors has been slightly delayed due to production peaks of industrial demo cases. In WP6 work around market analysis, exploitation, and replication of COGNIPLANT solution has been progressing. The customer journey of identified buyer personas was developed and the strategy that the consortium should follow to capture and retain these customers throughout the product lifecycle was designed. The exploitation models were further elaborated based on common characteristics of the use cases and a replication methodology to successfully transfer the COGNIPLANT solution in other process industries has been developed.
In WP7, D&C Plan was delivered, and branding created as well as website and social media channels. This plan has been adapted to the new scenario that has appeared due to the pandemic situation, that has limited the possibility of attending to meetings, workshops, conferences, etc. A novel strategy was applied with a focus on the online presence and digital events is being followed. WP8 has performed the project coordination from the administrative, financial, and technical management standpoint. It was established all the management procedures, the quality plan and all the organizational meetings to hold during the project life duration and in WP9 ethics procedure was defined in the previous reporting period and the coordinator is in charge to verify that all the research and innovation activities carried out during the project will comply with ethical principles.
