2020-01-31 : Kicking off Connected Factories 2

KICKING OFF CONNECTED FACTORIES 2 

3if.eu teaming up with NL, DE, UK, AT, GR, CZ, HR, FI, IE, ...

After being able to contribute to Connected Factories 1 under the leadership of EFFRA and VTT, 3if.eu is again participating to see how European manufacturing digitalisation activities are developing across Europe and how we can learn from experiences in use cases, best practices, methods, standard in development and technologies being developed. 

The ConnectedFactories 1 project has produced the baseline versions of three pathways to the digitalisation of manufacturing:

  • 'Autonomous Smart Factories'
  • 'Hyperconnected Factories'
  • 'Collaborative Product-Service Factories’

See https://www.connectedfactories.eu/pathways-digitalisation-manufacturing

ConnectedFactories 1 created insights into important cross-cutting factors and key enablers

See https://www.connectedfactories.eu/cross-cutting-factors

ConnectedFactories 1 associated projects and project results and demonstrators to the pathways and the cross-cutting factors. 

See https://www.connectedfactories.eu/connectedfactories-information-sharing-and-analysis

Download this brochure and share it with others:

The ConnectedFactories 2 project (started on 1 December 2019) focuses on:

  1. Creating a common understanding of key enablers and cross-cutting factors for the development and deployment of digital technologies and digital platforms for manufacturing
  2. Deepening pathways by taking into account legacy systems, industrial requirements and challenges
  3. Situating inspiring research and industrial state-of-the-art cases, key enablers and cross-cutting factors along these pathways
  4. Matching of skills transfer offering with skills demand across Europe
  5. Engaging with the research and industrial actors in both European and local fora or ecosystems, bringing together manufacturing companies, technology and component suppliers, etc.
  6. Creating a broad awareness about the pathways, key enablers and cross-cutting factors, and about inspiring cases for SMEs
  7. Stimulating visibility and impact of Digital Platform projects (see also https://www.connectedfactories.eu/origin-project-outreach-and-impact)

2019-06-08 : Announcing FactorySense - 3IF.eu in collaboration with Versasense and Factorythings - Optimistik

Industrie 4.0 IIoT Sensoring & Business Dashboard

Small & Medium Sized Factories Demonstrator & Pilot

FactorySense is joining the best of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) sensors in combination with a business intelligence platform to fast forward enabling of Industrie 4.0 on the basis of big data and analytics in a cost sensitive way. FactorySense is a project that aims to enable Small and Medium Sized Factories with a package of best practices, technologies and tools to improve their day to day operational business activities, by electronically providing insights on and over the production floor, on the business processes and overall operations as a means to further improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

By integrating Versasense (BE) IoT sensor kits  (https://www.versasense.com/) to the Factorythings – Optimistik (FR) (http://www.optimistik.fr/) platform, this project aims to further lower the barriers and facilitate the management of the industrial production and provide a business interface over the industrial processes in order to better manage the production activities. It aims to demonstrate the possibilities to enhance the productivity, profitability and innovation capacities of production companies, by providing an integrated platform with the sensors and the platform that will serve the use case for condition based maintenance and validating it in a series of manufacturing companies.

About 8 out of 10 manufacturing companies have started to understand the sense of urgency in digitally transforming at least part of their operations in order to be able to reduce cost by optimizing production, supply and demand and warehousing; or to increase turnover through product innovation, reaching out to new markets and expanding in their current customer base with new services or improved existing products. But many companies are getting paralyzed by the complexity and the breadth of the digitalization challenge. They don’t fully understand all of the individual components required (big data, iot, analytics, horizontal & vertical integration, …) and they lack expertise and experience within the company to drive these interests forward. Proof of concept projects are being launched, but fail to deliver because of lack of concrete business objectives and forward looking plans.

With FactorySense, the three expert organizations (Versasense, FactoryThings-Optimistik and 3IF.eu) bring together their core expertise and strengths to facilitate the quick uptake of basic components and providing in a platform that can grow together with the organization in a way that it supports different applications and use cases allowing for a digital transformation and Industrie 4.0. Use cases include condition based maintenance, a digital production process flow, monitoring production indicators, providing business transparency, warehouse control and improved insights in the automation process.

The FactorySense platform aims to digitally connect selected parts of the production shop floor and administrative support system of Small sized Manufacturing companies by means of a Digital Platform and Industrial IoT Sensors. It provides a digital management dashboard that presents Key Performance Indicators and other indicators supporting business decisions and operational activities. It provides a template-model Small Digital Factory using a generic Digital Transformation Plan (DTP) – Industrie 4.0 Map (I40 Map) for small manufacturing companies on the basis of existing use cases. It provides in a Digital Business Dashboard, defining key business drivers to create situational awareness, allow for specific insights (eg condition based maintenance) and support in decision making. From this platform and key insights, business decisions can be made to provide further insights, or to optimize processes and activities allowing for a more efficient production program.

FactorySense will be demonstrated in a Wood processing company in Belgium and can be further validated in 2019 with other interested trial customers. In order to support small and medium sized manufacturing companies willing to experiment, eager to digitize and ready to be innovation driver, FactorySense will be validated with at least two other production companies. They will be leading the way to the thousands of European small and medium sized factories coping with the challenge to transform to Industrie 4.0 and coping with the lack of technological expertise on the selection of IoT technologies and limited experience in management of platforms.

Is your organization interested in validating the FactorySense platform during the course of 2019, contact FactorySense for a discussion on scope and the potential business and sector impact. This project was realized thanks to the IoT4Industry.eu Innovation Support program aiming to enhance productiv ity, profitability and innovation capacities of European manufacturing SME’s by enabling them access to IoT technologies.

Package pricing includes a gateway kit with up to 10 sensors and the data platform with cloud and mobile access to the analytics tools for 2 years, starting at 600 € / month, with a minimum commitment for 1 year.

For more information, please contact FactorySense at factorysense@3if.euwww.factorysense.eu or getstarted@factorysense.eu.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777455.
