Objective

The main, overall objective of the proposal is to establish the Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control (EPIC) as a leading, internationally acknowledged focus point in the field of production informatics, management and control representing excellence in R&D&I. EPIC will be constituted and run through the cooperation of the Institute for Computer Science and Control, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI), two faculties of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and four institutions of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FhG) under the coordination of the National Innovation Office (NIH), Hungary as a governmental decision maker.
The EPIC project will lead to:
1. The upgrade of MTA SZTAKI as existing Centre of Excellence of the EU.
2. The further development of the Fraunhofer-SZTAKI Project Centre for Production Management and Informatics (PMI), a joint initiative of FhG and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA), established in 2010. (The cooperating Fraunhofer institutions have been the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA)), Stuttgart and Fraunhofer Austria (FhA).
3. The extension of the present cooperation with two faculties of BME, i.e., the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (GPK) and the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering (KJK), on the one hand, and with two additional institutes of FhG, i.e., the Institute for Production Technology (IPT), Aachen and the Institute for Production Systems and Design Technology (IPK), Berlin.
4. The close cooperation with SMEs as well as with large industrial firms.
Due to direct, institutionalized and supported interactions with Fraunhofer, not only the scientific capabilities of the Hungarian partners but also their ability to transfer scientific results to industry-relevant applications will be greatly enhanced. By this way a “high speed lift” to innovation culture and performance in Hungary and the CEE region will be provided.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - EPIC (Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control)

Reporting period: 2015-06-01 to 2016-05-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

EPIC: Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control
Vision: We see the future of manufacturing in the efficient and sustainable cooperation of all partners along the product life-cycle, in the value creation chain, and within the enterprise. The convergence of manufacturing, information and communication sciences has established not only the key cyber-physical enabling technologies for tomorrow’s production, but has also initiated a fundamental, revolutionary change affecting science, industry, education and society alike. EPIC will be in the European forefront of this move by identifying, addressing and, responding to main challenges in the service of smart, competitive, sustainable and cooperative manufacturing. This vision will be pursued in the following directions:
• Research, development and innovation: EPIC will conduct cutting-edge theoretical and experimental scientific explorations in all main research fields related to cyber-physical production systems, typically in a multi- and interdisciplinary setting.
• Technology transfer: EPIC will establish institutional channels for transferring state-of-the-art research result from academic and university research laboratories to innovative industrial applications. Special attention will be paid to advanced but affordable services for small- and medium size enterprises. It is also foreseen that sectors like smart cities and energy will take up relevant scientific results.
• Education of professionals: Beyond directly contributing to graduate and postgraduate education, EPIC will create new job opportunities by training knowledgeable workers to find and fit their right place in cyber-physical production. Through EPIC’s network of exchange relationships, the training programs will provide a broad and up-to-date European perspective.
• Ecosystem formation: EPIC will shape the local ecosystem so as to improve innovation performance, foster interoperability and compliance with emerging standards; to warrant cyber security and safety; to build and maintain trust between business partners and, to elaborate incentives for competitive, but at the same time cooperative and sustainable manufacturing.

The main, overall objective of the project to be proposed is to establish the Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control (EPIC) as a leading, internationally acknowledged focus point in the field of production informatics, management and control representing excellence in R&D&I. EPIC will be constituted and run through the cooperation of the Institute for Computer Science and Control, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI), two faculties of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and four institutions of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (FhG) under the coordination of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH), Hungary as a national authority responsible for research, technology and innovation. Through the cooperation of one of the leading institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, BME and NKFIH on the one hand, and of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, an acknowledged world-leader in applied research, on the other hand.
The EPIC consortium as a whole has all the assets that are essential to make the above vision a reality: the critical momentum, multi- and interdisciplinary research background, international scientific network, industrial experience, well-proven innovation and technology transfer culture, educational praxis and impact on policy-making.
EPIC will respond not only to the needs of its home country, Hungary, but especially through the cooperation with the German and Austrian Fraunhofer partners it will have a cross-border regional character and will support Central East Europe (CEE) as well.
Mission: EPIC, as a leading European knowledge centre of cyber-physical production systems invents novel methods, realizes industrial solutions, brings up new generations of highly qualified professionals

Deliverables

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (3)

Scientific articles

At least two scientific papers on the thematic of EPIC will be written by the consortium as part of this task.

Press releases

One element of the public engagement strategy of EPIC is given by press releases. At least 3 such releases are foreseen

Project web-page

The project’s official website is to be the linking point between EPIC partners and outer communities. A basic principle for the site development is the requirement to be content rich, up-to-date, easy to navigate. An Intraweb facility for sharing of internal documents by consortium members will be provided as well. The task also includes developing the visual identity of the project (logo, headers etc.). First release of the public site is planned for beginning of month 2; updates will follow the project evolution.
