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

eFactory: European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing

The eFactory 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

IoT4CPS – Trustworthy IoT for CPS

The main focus of IoT4CPS will be on developing, producing and operating, highly trustable components and applications for Connected and Automated Driving. more

MMAssist II

Assistance systems in production in the context of human – machine cooperation more

NIMBLE

An open source based infrastructure for B2B platforms that can be customised for regional and sector-specific applications. Small or large enterprises can join, define supply chains and can synchronise their production logistics. 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

Maintenance 4.0

Surveys of the needs of manufacturers with respect to maintenance strategies. more
