Global-leading smart manufacturing through digital platforms, cross-cutting features and skilled workforce

Project description

Building the next generation of competitive manufacturing

Europe’s manufacturing industry needs strong structures that allow companies to act with awareness of all new possibilities from digital technologies to become globally competitive. The EU-funded ConnectedFactories 2 project aims to unite the efforts of manufacturers and make them stronger with the help of digital technology and digital platforms based on IoT. The goal is to establish a common understanding of the positive effects of segment integration as well as cooperation between its systems and processes through digital technologies and platforms. Thanks to this, the project will provide guidance, knowledge, analysis, cross-cutting concerns, look for legal or technological solutions, and provide research on state-of-the-art cases to promote new directions.

Objective

The ConnectedFactories II CSA focuses on the following targets and activities: 1) Supporting a common and structured understanding of key enablers and cross-cutting factors with regard to the deployment of digital technologies, including digital platforms, for manufacturing, serving both as generic guidance, as well as for providing a mapping/analysis framework for use-cases, 2) Identifying pathways to the industrial take-up of digital technologies and digital platforms by taking into account legacy systems, industrial requirements and challenges, 3) Situating inspiring research and industrial state-of-the-art cases on these pathways and show how key enablers and cross-cutting factors are addressed along these pathways, 4) Stimulating the matching of skills transfer offering with skills demand across Europe, 5) Engaging with the research and industrial actors in both European and local fora: manufacturing companies, suppliers, etc., and herewith make sure that requirements and boundary conditions are reflected in the pathways to digitalisation of manufacturing, the use cases, the key enablers and cross-cutting factors, 6) Generating a broad awareness about the key enablers and cross-cutting factors, pathways and inspiring cases. - The objectives of the ConnectedFactories II CSA and the associated activities will build on the results and the methodology of the ongoing ConnectedFactories CSA (concluding in August 2019).
