Life-cycle management of manufacturing solutions and associated services for flexible, productive and sustainable manufacturing industry
General desciption of Life-cycle management of manufacturing solutions and associated services for flexible, productive and sustainable manufacturing industry:
- Manufacturing systems are progressing along the transition towards circular economy. Key components of manufacturing systems (such as electrical motors or control systems) also are part of the circular economy industrial ecosystem.
- In the meantime, the ongoing servitisation trend where manufacturing companies deploy manufacturing equipment as a “product-service” increases the creation of long-term partnerships between manufacturing system providers and manufacturing companies, associated to the application of innovative business models.
- Services can be associated to the modification of the behaviour of machinery, repurposing, reconfiguration, customising, energy efficiency... and the integration in the manufacturing process and equipment in the work flow of the manufacturing company.
- While services can have a ‘short-term’ component (as described under the priority ‘Quick response service deployment for maintaining optimal manufacturing operations using trusted AI and digital twins’), there is also a longer term component, where the full life-cycle orientation includes circular aspects of the manufacturing system
- These services and the associated enabling technologies are evolving along the (extended) lifecycle of these manufacturing systems.
Comment:
By accelerating and upscaling the structuring process, the OPTIMAL project will increase the process efficiency and yield, which will allow for “first time right” fabrication of the required structures, lower consumption of resources, waste reduction, lower CO2 emissions, increase of productivity, and cost reduction.
