Objective: Industrial Competitiveness

Technology/manufacturing equipment suppliers to gain market share: • Automation/industrial robotics & laser technology solutions for factory environments • Product/production design tools (eg software for modelling, simulation, visualisation) • Enterprise/supply-chain management tools

European industrial end users: • To integrate latest technology into their production environments • To develop new competencies (knowledge, organisation, skills, business models) • To use technologies that enable energy-efficient and “waste-less” production

Smart Factories: • Goal:

More automation, better control & optimisation of factory processes

• Means: Software, lasers & intelligent devices embedded in machines & factory infrastructure

Factories of the Future: ICT Vision

• Less waste • Less energy use • Faster time-to-market • Better quality

Virtual Factories: – Goal:

To manage supply chains; to create value by integrating products & services

– Means: Software to holistically interconnect & manage distributed factory assets; new business models & value propositions

• High-value products • Keep jobs in Europe • Process transparency • IPR security • Lower CO2 footprint

• Reduce design errors • Better & efficient products • Less waste + rework • Faster time-to-market
