WHAT WE ACHIEVED

I4MS 2015: Enhancing Digital Transformation in Manufacturing SMEs · 22nd of May · Brussels

● Three industry-relevant challenges were launched in April 2014 with open calls for Challengers, Technology Developers, System Integrators and End Users

● Each of the challenges is divided into three stages of increasing complexity● The project will end in December 2017 with one EuRoC winner team

Reconfigurable InteractiveManufacturing Cell

Shop Floor Logisticsand Manipulation

Plant Inspectionand Servicing

HOW WE DID IT


● Each challenge involves whole manufacturing supply chains within their field, while favouring technology transfer from academia to industry

● All registered Challengers from each challenge undergo benchmarking exercises in the form of a Simulation Contest during Stage I: Qualifying

● Selected Challengers from each challenge team up with partners from the industry and share existing resources at three top European platforms in Stage II: Realistic Labs

● In Stage III: Field Tests, Challenger teams must ensure sustainability and adaptability to end users

Cumulative sum of € 7 M grant money available to the Challengers

HOW WE DID IT


HOW I4MS HELPED


● Challengers — Research Organizations, companies or even private persons● End Users (EUs) — Manufacturing companies who can provide use cases for the

Challenger teams● Technology Developers (TDs) — Companies or research organizations developing

innovative technologies and looking for an application of their technology in the industrial robotics domain

● System Integrators (SIs) — Companies that specialize in either bringing together robotic components/subsystems or developing and commissioning whole robotic systems

● Campaigns for promotion of challenge program● Publication of Call Announcement on EuRoC website● Presentations at relevant networking events● Featuring of EuRoC in numerous relevant Challenge Bulletins● LinkedIn advertising campaign● Organization of EuRoC Info Days with presentations (including from I4MS) and Q&A● Dissemination through I4MS by newsletters and webinars
