KYKLOS 4.0 | An Advanced Circular and Agile Manufacturing Ecosystem based on rapid reconfigurable manufacturing process and individualized consumer preferences
01-01-2020
-31-12-2023
KYKLOS 4.0 emphasises customisation and circular manufacturing. As a result, the candidate standards were determined in accordance with the following factors: (1) inputs from partners; (2) project requirements; (3) linked EU frameworks; (4) examination of scientific literature; and (5) standards inventory within the project's purview. The partners in KYKLOS 4.0 are interested in adopting standards in a variety of fields, such as digital transformation (such as OneM2M), sector-specific standards for pilots (such as ISO 14971:2019), data exchange and file formats (such as ISO 10303 and HDF5), or higher-level standards like ISO 27001 for information security management systems. The project requirements, acceptance in the worldwide community, comparable projects, or scientific papers were used to evaluate potential standards. Most of the identified standards are complementary and able to produce synergies in their incorporation. However, especially in the area of data exchange different standards suggest different solutions. No discrimination was made in terms of standards or points of origin.
The partners assessed the KYKLOS 4.0 standards and their adoption is continually improved, while the process is being carried out. In task T5.3, the team tried to assess various levels of interoperability in the procedure. Along with task T12.5, which is in charge of tracking the project's standardised context, a survey was started. Meetings with the various project partners were held on a regular basis, and the delivery was developed in line with the standardising framework noted in T12.5. The standards were chosen to be documented in a standardised fashion using the ArchiMate language. A list of other candidate standards that would be interesting to adopt in KYKLOS 4.0 is included in the documentation. Two standards—ISO 10303 and ISO 14048—that are highly pertinent to the scope of KYKLOS 4.0 are already in use by KYKLOS 4.0 pilots. With KYKLOS 4.0, ISO 10303 will be used beyond the CAD domain to prove its function in gathering and facilitating access to data linked to personalised and circular manufacturing. The data's long-term readability in this standard format is one of the issues that merit consideration. Project partners received instructions on how to use ISO 10303. KYKLOS 4.0 collaborates with Small Business Standards (SBS) to facilitate wide acceptance and utilization by the market.
Medical, electronic devices, electronic equipment, and automotive project pilots are already pursuing ISO 10303 (Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange) and ISO 14048 (Life cycle assessment and environmental management). The project currently has a good understanding of relevant standards. Modern algorithms have been used to identify various data reduction approaches, and a comprehensive model for fault relationships has been created. KYKLOS 4.0 will develop toolkits to implement auditing mechanisms.

DigiPrime | Digital Platform for Circular Economy in Cross-sectorial Sustainable Value Networks
01-01-2020
-31-12-2023
The DigiPrime project aims to address the issue of poor data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders and sectors, which hinders cross-sectoral circular economy opportunities and limits the uptake of reusable materials by end customers. To solve this problem, the project is developing a digital platform concept that aims to overcome the current information asymmetry among value chain stakeholders. The project's main goal is to unlock new circular business models by focusing on the data-enhanced recovery and reuse of functions and materials from high-value-added post-use products as the foundation of its platform.
To achieve this, the project has planned standardization activities that cover two complementary aspects:
- Utilizing existing standards, such as those related to data modelling, to support the project's implementation activities and avoid duplicating effort during development; and
- Influencing future standardization in the circular economy as a means to increase visibility and maximize the overall impact of the project.
By doing so, the project aims to promote consistency in the circular economy and improve the efficiency of data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders.

Volunteers from FEUP, CERTH, and UNI collaborated to compile all the technical and standard data for the formulation of the technical specification based on the specifications specified by the pilots' leaders. A full explanation of the use cases and the machines involved in the refurbishment, remanufacturing, and retrofitting during the RECLAIM project has been developed using the needs that were determined during the information gathering phase. The matrix of requirements for the identification of the prospective issues to be the challenge at the RECLAIM project has been finished by the industrial partners Gorenje, Fluchos, Podium, Harms & Wende, and Zorlutek. The demand and gap in the standardised field were included in these matrices, which is a crucial factor to consider the technical solution in the future. UNI carried out the standardised analysis plan from the input data given by other partners involved in this endeavour.
The main standardisation gaps to be considered during the RECLAIM project were: Monitoring Sensors: Alignment verification, quality and density of water pipeline, energy consumption of the furnace, real time monitoring; Predictive Maintenance: Definition of standards to predict shutdown; Human Error: Need of standardized procedure to record spare parts.

EFPF (European Factory Platform) | European Connected Factory Platform for Agile Manufacturing
01-01-2019
-31-12-2022
EFPF ensured that the Factory platform complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Aligning project objectives and activities with existing laws and standards is a crucial component of EFPF. In order to ease data sharing and standardisation procedures, it also engages in significant engagements with national and European regulation and standardisation organisations on smart industrial automation, data processing, and analytics. The question of which of the increasingly overlapping standards to use as a reference for every particular platform solution confronts researchers and technicians at EFPF. This is a typical issue in any field where standards are in conflict or overlap.
The strategy used by EFPF is to closely monitor the development of various standardisation initiatives. With the assistance of experts (like ASI, a core partner of EFPF), RTD activities are aligned with ongoing standardisation activities with the goal of adopting existing standards and, when possible, contributing to their development. Based on the nature of technical activities in WP3 to WP7, the following aspects of EFPF are considered relevant to the ongoing standardisation and regulation activities:
- Connecting multiple digital manufacturing tools, services and platforms through APIs and service interfaces to realise a federated platform;
- Exchange of data by the diverse tools, systems and platforms that need to be federated through the Data Spine;
- Establishing interconnectivity and interoperability to most widely used industrial data exchange standards and systems;
- Smart contracting in agile value networks through the use of blockchain technology;
- Security and privacy of information exchanged between partners in collaboration and also, the information exchanged through the platform;
- Linkage and interoperability of commonly used security protocols; and
- The use of Cloud services for storage and marketplace solutions.

INTEGRADDE | Intelligent data-driven pipeline for the manufacturing of certified metal parts through Direct Energy Deposition processes
01-10-2018
-31-03-2023
The major goal of INTEGRADDE was to develop a novel end-to-end solution capable of demonstrating the potential of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes for the manufacturing of certified large metal components in strategic metalworking sectors. The project is focused on additive manufacturing, specifically laser metal deposition. This technology requires validation, and the compatibility of various pieces in the manufacturing process must be verified under real-world situations. Standardization, therefore, has great significance. The case study demonstrates the need for adequate planning of resources for standardisation as well as the requirement to provide project partners who are unfamiliar with standards and standardisation with training. Two obstacles stand out: first, the distinct nature and timetables of standardisation processes from those of research, and second, the apparent conflict between IP protection and the requirement for openness during the standardisation process. Nevertheless, the use of standards/standardisation seeks to help increase quality and reliability in the specific AM process.

Z-BRE4K | Strategies and Predictive Maintenance models wrapped around physical systems for Zero-unexpected-Breakdowns and increased operating life of Factories
01-10-2017
-31-03-2021
The Z-Break solution uses a variety of communication protocols. HTTP, OPC-UA, IEEE 802.15.4e and IEC WirelessHART. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. OPC UA supports two protocols. The binary protocol is opc.tcp://Server and http://Server is for Web Service. Otherwise OPC UA works completely transparent to the API. IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard which defines the operation of low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). It specifies the physical layer and media access control for LR-WPANs, and is maintained by the IEEE 802.15 working group, which defined the standard in 2003. WirelessHART is a wireless sensor networking technology based on the Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART). Developed as a multi-vendor, interoperable wireless standard, WirelessHART was defined for the requirements of process field device networks. Also, it uses the NGSI protocol. NGSI is a protocol developed to manage Context Information. It provides operations like managing the context information about context entities, for example the lifetime and quality of information and access (query, subscribe/notify) to the available context Information about context Entities.

In FALCON, current standards work will be taken into account and used when applicable. This includes normative standards as set by ISO and its national bodies which are of high importance to industrial companies. Additionally, standards proposed by some of the major influential de-facto standardization bodies like The Open Group, W3C, OASIS, and OMG will be assessed and added to our architectural framework. We will cooperate with major relevant commercial players, many of them already included in the FALCON consortium to establish joint standardization activities.
At the architecture level, FALCON will endeavor to standardize communication protocols, data exchange formats, data exchange interfaces. At the content level, ontologies should be standardized, general / vertical, and domain-specific ontologies. We foresee first de facto standardization, driven by technology pick up from interested parties, supported by publicity and dissemination activities (e.g., W3C member submissions), supported then by founding or joining initiatives within OASIS for specific content vocabularies. The Open Group is a vendor- and technology-neutral consortium, whose vision of Boundary less Information Flow™ will enable access to integrated information within and between enterprises based on open standards and global interoperability. Standards for the sharing and reuse of lifecycle data, information and knowledge based on results developed in FALCON. The standards will be promoted through the Internet of Things (ITO) work group (www.opengroup.org/iot/). Several FALCON partners are among the initiators and main drivers of this work group.
