Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: FALCON will implement novel feedback loops between e.g. the operators of medical and high-tech equipment with the designers and service providers, enabling new possibilities for services to improve the function of these devices/machines. By implementing mobile ("App") interfaces on top of the FALCON Virtual Open Platform, and enabling e.g. doctors to provide usage feedback on medical equipment or manufacturing operators to give feedback on metrology equipment, FALCON will contribute to advancing the state-of-the-art in this area.

Information and communication technologies
Comment: ICT solutions enable the work in IMPROVE. Big Data is collected from the production plants and modern machine learning techniques are used to learn models from data, drastically reducing the manual modelling efforts. Learned models can adapt to the modern, fast changing systems and are available for tasks like condition monitoring and root cause analysis. The results are then displayed to the user, hiding the systems complexity.
Human Machine Interfaces
Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: Work package 6 develops HMI and decision support system solutions to aid the plant operators in tasks as condition monitoring, root cause analysis and optimization.

Human Machine Interfaces
Comment:

Requirements of modern production processes stress the need for greater agility and flexibility, for faster production cycles, increased productivity, less waste and more sustainable production. Human-machine interaction is put in the center, supporting the decision making process.

Investigation of advanced HMIs for direct interaction with real-world objects. Consideration of mobile user interfaces that allow accessing crucial immediate information everywhere in the factory. Consideration will also be given to data gathering from ultra low power IoT devices such as wireless sensors where data can then be aggregated and visualised at an appropriate HMI interface. Where possible provision for self-powering these IoT devices using energy harvesting will be taken into account in order to avoid battery replacement. Flexible and dynamic data-driven solutions that can be adapted to different environments and needs.

Result items:
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Interoperability for M2M & HMI in factory environments II
Advanced and ubiquitous human machine interaction
Comment: Decision makers are not at their desk the whole day. In order to reduce the probability that they miss important information, the project investigates user interface solutions for the shop floor and everywhere else in the factory, in order to provide data monitoring, control and notification systems, that help humans in interaction with machines and with the decision making process.
