Z-DETECT is the first strategy of the Z-Fact0r solution: the detection strategy consists of detecting any machining process anomaly or instability through process monitoring by means of controlled variables called critical process variables (CPVs). In particular, this strategy is invoked when a defect is being generated after the adaptation of the parameters. In such a scenario, an alarm is being triggered to flag the parameters that resulted in a defect. By mapping the true reasons, the system will be able to avoid having more generated defects by weighting the system model.
Apart from the inspection of the product from which the defect is being observed, the strategy involves more actions and processes to deal both with the generation of the detected defect, and its propagation to the next stages.
Z-PREDICT strategy is triggered when a defect is recognised during the Z-DETECT stage. The events detected from the physical layer of the system are engineered into high value data that will stipulate new and more accurate process models. Such an unbiased systems behaviour monitoring and analysis provides the basis for enriching the existing knowledge of the system (experience) learning new patterns, raising attention towards behaviour that cause operational and functional discrepancies (e.g. alarms) and the general trends in the shop-floor.
The more the data pool is being increased the more precise (repeatability) and accurate the predictions will be. The estimations for the future states involve the whole production line, e.g. machine status after x number of operations and/or quality of the products for given set of parameters.
The system will predict with high confidence the expected quality and customer satisfaction, allowing modifications to the parameters before the production of the products. In addition, Z-Fact0r can operate in the reverse mode, i.e. insert a Customer Satisfaction Goal and control the parameters accordingly to achieve this target.
The ability of Z-Fact0r to optimise the manufacturing processes according to certain/target quality levels and/or customer satisfaction is the key innovation to fulfil the industrial requirements.

UPTIME platform focusses on the use of condition monitoring techniques, e.g. event monitoring and data processing systems, that will enable manufacturing companies having installed sensors to fully exploit the availability of huge amounts of data and to handle the real-time data in complex, dynamics environement in order to get meaningful insights and to decide and act ahead of time to resolve problems before they appear, e.g. to avoid or mitigate the impact of a future failure, in a proactive manner. Moreover, UPTIME proposed unified framework will not be limited to monitoring and diagnosis but it aims to cover the whole prognostic lifecycle from signal processing and diagnostics till prognostics and maintenance decision making along with their interactions with quality management, production planning and logistics decisions.

Z-break will make it possible to combine the current manufacturing systems with current and new mechatronic systems. These combinations will lead to smarter manufacturing systems and thus a shorter ramp up in generating higher quality and productivity.
Part of the Z-BRE4K project is the development, of a novel embedded condition monitoring solution with cognitive capabilities, by applying deep learning techniques to reduce the dimensionality of multimodal sensor data associated to a given machine/device, and provide meaningful features to predictive maintenance services on the cloud. Most suitable IoT edge devices, for optimal trade-off between computational power and energy consumption, sensors, providing relevant information of the condition of different components, and signal processing algorithm are proposed for different machines and processes. Data gathering is enabled by the installation of IoT gateways, where data in different protocols are homogenised and sent to the cloud for storage. Real-time data, relevant KPIs and information about components status are visualised through dedicated dashboards.
