E2COMATION | Life-cycle optimization of industrial energy efficiency by a distributed control and decision-making automation platform

Summary

Improving industrial energy efficiency at European Manufacturing level requires the integration of energy data with advanced optimization techniques to guide a company decision making.
E2COMATION intends to address the optimization of energy usage, at multiple hierarchical layers of a manufacturing process as well as considering the whole life-cycle perspective across the value chain.

To this purpose, it aims at providing a cross-sectorial methodological framework and a modular technological platform to monitor, predict, evaluate impact of the behavior of a factory across energy and the life-cycle assessment dimensions, in order to adapt and optimize dynamically not only its real-time behavior over different time-scales, but also its strategic and sustainable positioning with respect to the complex supply and value chain it belongs to.

Its major objectives are:

  • Holistic analysis of energy-related data streams for production performance forecasting;
  • Life-cycle conceptual paradigm applied to digital twinning of factory assets;
  • Factory-level integrated multi-objective optimization architecture;
  • Modular and scalable automation platform for distributed monitoring and supervision;
  • Comprehensive simulation environment enhanced with energy and environmental performance;
  • Energy Aware Planning and Scheduling tool (EAP&S);
  • Life Cycle Assessment and Costing tool (LCAC) integrated in a company Decision Support System;
  • Sustainable Computer Aided Process Planning (s-CAPP);
  • LCA-driven supply chain management (SCM) and business ecosystem.

For E2COMATION to be successful, it is fundamental that the effectiveness of its methodological approach and technological framework is proved in complex industrial scenarios, involving several factories of different sectors. This will be achieved by implementing the project platform in 2 completely different value chains, the food and drink one and the woodworking one, with 5 concurrent industrial use-cases.

E2COMATION @hub.berlin 28-29th June

📣 Exciting opportunities await at the upcoming hub.berlin on June 28-29. E2COMATION is proud to invite you to join our masterclass🎓, held on June 28 from 14:00 to 15:30, where we delve into the critical theme: "Optimizing Energy and Resources for Modern Manufacturing".
This interactive session will be led by esteemed speakers from STIIMA-CNR, ACTOR, Kastamonu Entegre, Software AG, and Athens Technology Center, and KU Leuven. They will share their insights and the latest breakthroughs in energy efficiency and sustainable manufacturing processes.

Also, remember to visit our booth on both days of the event for an up-close look at our work towards making manufacturing more sustainable.
Visit https://e2comation.eu for more info, and we look forward to seeing you there!
