Z-BRE4K will contribute to the productivity increase of different critical manufacturing processes, such as joining (GESTAMP), cutting (PHILIPS) and forming (GESTAMP, PHILIPS, SACMI) by providing analytics and suggestion in to order to assist in minimizing the machines breakdowns. The main gain is operational and maintenance costs reduction. Furthermore, for the GESTAMP use case a real-time arc welding quality control system, based on infrared images, is being developed
Z-BRE4K’s mission is to build a distributed software system solution including the Industry 4.0 principals towards cyber-physical, digital, virtual and resource-efficient factories. The ultimate goal is to develop intelligent maintenance systems for increased reliability of production systems. Additionally, special attention is going to be given on processes, advancing technologies and products, integrating knowledge, training, technology and industrial development in a market-oriented environment. Z-BRE4K’s intended impact to the European manufacturing industry in the increase of the in-service efficiency by 24%
