Objective WeldGalaxy project will deliver, a B2B online Platform that brings together global buyers (end-users/OEM) and EU sellers (manufacturers/suppliers/distributors/service providers) of welding equipment along with auxiliaries/consumables and services, thereby enhancing the visibility of EU’s welding products/prototypes/services to global users (via digital marketing strategies) and providing innovative web-based services (e.g. equipment selection and inventory management, digital design/testing of equipment capabilities) to boost EU market share and competitiveness. The digital platform will incorporate Knowledge base engineering (KBE) tool that streamlines equipment selection process for end-users and allows ‘plug and produce’ digital manufacturing of the right equipment to specified customers’/end-users’ requirements and regulatory compliance.Though the full capability of the WeldGalaxy platform including associated product services (including the services from all third parties) will be demonstrated in welding equipment (along with auxiliaries) and consumables manufacturing domain, yet, the conceptual and functional framework of WeldGalaxy technology concept can be used in any industrial domain related to manufacturing.The Dynamic Knowledge Management based B2B platform will be designed by following the standard 3-tier architecture. Scalability and reliability will be assured by the use of: RESTfull architecture for API layer, cloud-based backend platform hosted on mainstream cloud providers like AWS or Google Cloud Platform who offer clustering, loading balancing, caching to support scalability and redundant data backup to ensure reliability. Use of blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) will make the platform inherently stable, highly scalable and always up. The digital platform, supported by integrated blockchain/DLT for improved reliability/visibility/ transparency/ security of transactions, will enhance the competitiveness of EU manufacturing sec Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencescomputer securitycryptography Keywords Welding Equipment Consumables Knowledge based engineering LCA B2B platform Blockchain Cloud resource API Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.5. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Advanced manufacturing and processing Main Programme H2020-EU.2.1.3. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Advanced materials H2020-EU.2.1.5.1. - Technologies for Factories of the Future Topic(s) DT-NMBP-20-2018 - A digital 'plug and produce' online equipment platform for manufacturing (IA) Call for proposal H2020-NMBP-TR-IND-2018-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-NMBP-PLUG-2018 Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator TWI LIMITED Net EU contribution € 3 455 076,00 Address GRANTA PARK GREAT ABINGTON CB21 6AL Cambridge United Kingdom See on map Region East of England East Anglia Cambridgeshire CC Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (11) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all FUNDINGBOX ACCELERATOR SP ZOO Poland Net EU contribution € 319 062,50 Address UL POSTEPU 15 02-676 WARSZAWA See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
