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.

DTI (distributed/decentralized technical intelligence) could be an enabling technology to achieve connectivity along mnfg ecosystems.

More than a research topic title, it looks a reality to cope with.

Comment:
Although also relevant for discrete manufacturing, energy-efficiency impact can be much more significant at process industry (P4P, CleanSteel), at the neighbour section within same destination (TwinTransition)

AI oriented to process control & optimization, nurturing predictive maintenance and enabling servitization strategies based on quality data spaces.

It may also bring opportunities at DATA and DIGITAL-EMERGING destinations topics (interaction between MiE--BDVA-ADRA partnerships)

Human operator empowerment to interact safely with machines, robots, CNCs based on enhanced HMIs, always keeping the decision-making at the human side (Industry 5.0)

Comment:
Skills generation is crucial at these times, but perhaps MiE topics should focus on the technology fields.

I don't perceive bio-intelligent manufacturing as a clear market need and industrial requirement (so far). As exploring initiative, may be, but being 1 out of 3 topics in 2024 looks excesive (just my personal opinion).
If flexibility achieved through robotics, it may also bring opportunities at DIGITAL-EMERGING destination topics (interaction between MiE-ADRA partnerships)
