Cognition can improve the behaviour of a complex process system by combining digital twins, which are driven by domain models (i.e., knowledge), with the models derived from data (i.e., experience). In order to realize it, we need a real-time processing layer where observations (i.e. events), knowledge and experience interoperate to understand and control the behaviour of a complex system (i.e., cognition). FACTLOG offers such a layer and aims at deploying and adjusting it to several process industries.

The initiative for Fostering DIHs for Embedding Interoperability in Cyber-Physical Systems of European SMEs (DIH4CPS) will help European enterprises overcome innovation hurdles and establish Europe as a world leading innovator of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

DIH4CPS will create an embracing, interdisciplinary network of DIHs and solution providers, focused on cyber-physical and embedded systems, interweaving knowledge and technologies from different domains, and connecting regional clusters with the pan-European expert pool of DIHs. Backed by the IVLab, an experienced and wellestablished network organisation focussed on Interoperability, DIH4CPS can innately build on an extensive existing network, add value to its existing knowledge transfer capabilities and guarantee the sustainability of the growing DIH network.

DIGICOR  - Decentralised Agile Coordination Across Supply Chains
Project number: 723336
Call: H2020-IND-CE-2016-17 (Industry 2020 in the Circular Economy)
Programme: Horizon 2020
Duration: 3 years (October 2016 – September 2019)
Total Budget: 7993818,75 Euro

http://digicor-project.eu/ 

Abstract: The DIGICOR project will provide an open platform, tools and services that allows European companies to create and operate collaborative networks across the value chain. The project will develop novel collaboration and management concepts and implement into a collaboration platform and related tools for the setup and coordination of the collaboration networks. In particular, the project addresses the integration of non-traditional, small but innovative companies or service providers into the complex supply chain of large OEM. The project will significantly reduce the burden to setup production networks and collaboration between SME, will shorten the needed time to jointly respond to business opportunities and to enter supply chains of large manufacturers and will simplify the management and control of the production and logistics in execution.

ADaptive Virtual ENterprise ManufacTURing Environment.

In order to cope with the demand for flexibility and fast-paced business innovation, there is a need for an integrated, yet framework, environment which is able to establish, manage, monitor, and adapt virtual factories. This needs to be based on the requirements of the manufacturing processes at a deep technical level to provide easy, flexible interoperability with minimal user skills especially to support SMEs. ADVENTURE will deliver this platform and the accompanying tools by providing a holistic environment for plug-and-play virtual factories based on cross-organisational manufacturing processes.
