Webinar: Factory of the Future – Optimizing the Plant for Industrial Transformation

The Factory of the future (FoF) is a key part of every industrial transformation (IX) program. It delivers the systems needed in the factory to support IX technology, process and people. The key starting point for every FoF is data. Indeed, many factories have started that data collection through MOM, SCADA and other key manufacturing software technology. The FoF will deliver the technology to support agility, empowered workers and ever more autonomous factories.

Attendees will learn:

  • The starting points for your FoF journey
  • How to build the architecture to support FoF processes
  • Sources of data and ideas for bringing it all together
  • How to define and use Edge computing concepts in the integrated world
  • Some key technologies that you should consider in your FoF journey, including MOM, digital twins, AI and digital Lean
  • The starting points for FoF operational optimization and its expansion into the supply chain

Made in Europe Partnership event (EFFRA)

On Tuesday, 10th of November 2019, EFFRA organised the Made in Europe Partnership event.

Please find below the download-links to the slides which were used during the day, with background information on where we stand in the political process of the Made in Europe Partnership. Moreover, you can see the industry presentations given by Airbus and by Festo.

The day was full of exchanges and discussion. For stimulating the discussion, we also did a survey on some key questions; you can see the result here.

In the afternoon, European Commission representatives from DG Research and Innovation and from DG Connect joined us. Please read here some of the most relevant messages which they gave during their talks:

  • For the Made in Europe Roadmap, our community needs to take into account the priorities of the new European Commission.
  • By the end of February, the Made in Europe Partnership Roadmap and priorities should be finalised.
  • It is not so much the question whether there will be a Made in Europe Partnership, but rather how the budget will look like.
  • EFFRA members should talk to their national research ministries to ensure that Horizon Europe and Made in Europe receive funding. Member states have the final say when it comes to EU funding.
