General desciption of Excellent productive and flexible Manufacturing automation for open strategic autonomy:
Manufacturing engineering and time-to-market of manufacturing products will be shortened by factory automation approaches, from order processing automation to the automation of difficult-to-automate-processes, in particular for low-volume production, supporting workers, technicians, engineers and developers.
Productivity will be increased in high quality manufacturing, both on the shop floor and in engineering/business processes, addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 “Sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”.
‘Zero-X’ smart manufacturing approaches and capabilities will be developed and deployed across value networks.
Excellent manufacturing is still a not sorted out challenge, a differentiating factor when comparing with low-cost countries, and a source of jobs, growth and prosperity for EU. WP25-27 should rescue again zero-defects & zero-X strategies, precision & high performance manufacturing applied to the intrafactory shopfloor domains (component-machine-process levels), reinforced and upgraded by decentralised/distributed intelligence (DTI), and obviously complemented by the green/circular/sustainable/MaaS orientation.
