    Added value and impact
    Economic sustainability
      Product quality - Quality assurance
      Comment: Real-time co-simulation methods will enable key stakeholders to simulate and forecast complex activities. Simulation will target increasing quality and flexibility as well as more efficient management of logistics by also decreasing service time and costs.
      Supply chain and value network efficiency
      Comment: Using the COMPOSITION platform, companies will be able to enter a supply chain and broaden their clientele, thus improving their economic performance. The COMPOSITION Marketplace will facilitate matching of demand and supply across the supply chain. Buyers and sellers will have close to perfect knowledge of offers, with searchable, low latency access to information. Agent technology and automated matching of requests offers lowers transaction costs. By providing a common interface for entering the marketplace, the platform also lowers the barriers of entry. In economics terms, these are all prerequisites for competitive market (from which everyone benefits).
    Environmental sustainability
      Reducing the consumption of energy, while increasing the usage of renewable energy
      Comment: The project will focus on the reduction of energy consumption via the detection of excessive consumption and anomalous equipment behavior. The health of equipment will be improved, using machine learning/deep learning algorithms for predicting failures & arranging preventative maintenance. It will be possible to monetise the results into suggestions for actions at specific processes. The possibility of letting the Marketplace matchmaker take externalities into account when rating offers and partners by providing it with information on e.g. environmental performance of marketplace actors, is being examined.
      Waste minimisation
      Comment: The reduction of scraps will be addressed in the sense of attempting to reduce unused material, rather than reducing the number of defective workpieces or rework operations. Furthermore, the project will reduce the amount of scraps by optimising the processes in a way that less material has to be scrapped because certain maximal idle times are not reached.
      Towards circular ecomomy
      Comment: Improvements of the manufacturing process by using Process Modelling and Monitoring Framework combined with Integrated Digital Factories Models will lead to better resource management and will reduce the use of resources. Optimising the process involving factories with recycling companies will generate economic savings. Monitoring the health of machinery and using predictive maintenance and reducing energy consumption will reduce not only manufacturing efficiency (less downtime & material waste) but also the environmental impact of manufacturing.
        Co-evolution of products-processes-production systems
        Comment:

        The COMPOSITION Integrated Information Management System will be a digital automation framework that optimises the manufacturing processes by exploiting existing data, knowledge and tools, integrating them with newly installed cyber physical systems (CPS) and automation software, in order to increase productivity and to allow for dynamic adaptation to changing market requirements. CPS using IoT devices such as wireless sensors nodes (WSN) can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment and infrastructure to gather sensory data and detect anomalies as well as opportunities to improve productivity and cvcle time.

      Supply chain and value network efficiency
      Comment:

      DIGICOR supports economic sustainability of small but innovative SMEs by enabling them to form agile supply networks that compete with large manufacturers or suppliers. The DIGICOR platform enable companies to identify suitable market opportunities (e.g. OEM tenders advertised on DIGICOR Marketplace) and address those opportunities by forming dynamic partnerships. The collaboration tools provided by the DIGICOR platform ensure complete visibility and governance of the collaborative activities being carried out across partner facilities in the network. By providing information about new business opportunities and allowing companies to participate in multiple supply networks, DIGICOR supports the economic sustainability of ambitious companies in the manufacturing domain.

    Social sustainability
      Increasing human achievements in manufacturing systems
      Comment:

      DIGICOR will offer operative support tools to support human-machine interactions in the production environment. Such tools will allow rescheduling at a fine-grained granularity (operations and human/non-human resources) to mitigate the impact of disruptive events. Moreover, the DIGICOR platform will offer human-centric interfaces for planning and operational control of collaborative activities. The interfaces of DIGICOR tools and services will also follow user-centric design approach.
