Processing Platforms: Intelligent Architectures

Connected vehicles, drones, robots – more and more devices and technologies are entering our lives: many of these processes require the digital tracking of things that move from A to B. To do this, we work together with our partners to develop intelligent, cyber-physical environments: federated internet platforms, software architectures and technology for digital twins that are in sync with their physical counterparts – safely and without misunderstandings.

Technologies & Methods:

Modeling, controlling and optimizing industrial processes with digital twins
Internet platform technologies for ecosystems along value chains
Design and development of scalable data streaming and analysis systems

EFPF: European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing

The EFPF project realises a federated smart factory ecosystem by initially interlinking four smart factory platforms, from the FoF-11-2016 cluster, through an open and interoperable Data Spine. The federation of the 4 base platforms is complemented by industrial platforms, collaboration tools and smart factory systems, specifically selected to support connected factories in lot-size-one manufacturing. more

RoboGen: Gender-sensitive interaction with social robots

RoboGen develops a prototype with a learning agent, which makes gender-sensitive options accessible to all users via feedback from the users, thus enabling gender-sensitive human-robot interaction and a high degree of personalization. more

SCISSOR – Security in Trusted SCADA and Smart Grids

The SCISSOR project is concerned with the security of SCADA systems that are employed in industrial control processes – often in the context of critical infrastructures like energy, water, transport, finance, and health where security breaches potentially have devastating consequences. more
