Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Innovative knowledge-based Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) is a key enabler to minimise cost, improve adaptability, responsiveness, robustness, and sustainability of manufacturing processes. This CAPP-4-SMEs project, planned for 36 month duration and 480 person-months, is aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of European companies, particularly SMEs, in sustainable manufacturing environment by: (1) collaborative and adaptive process planning against changes; (2) knowledge-based and integrated process simulation towards first-time-right processes; (3) event-driven function blocks for on-board adaptive process control; (4) machine availability monitoring for real-time job routing; and (5) a Cloud-based services platform for cost-effective and easy access over the Internet.
The CAPP-4-SMEs Consortium is comprised of 11 partners (4 universities, 1 multi-national manufacturing company and 6 SMEs) from 5 European countries (Sweden, UK, Greece, Germany and Spain). The complementary expertise of the academic and industrial European partners in the project enables knowledge sharing, dissemination and exploitation of scientific findings, industrial applications and technical know-hows across the EU. Technical innovations will be achieved through collaborative RTD activities oriented towards industrial applications for factories of the future.
Industry-relevant demonstration will be developed in the project as an important element for results validation using real-world cases from SMEs. Targeting to showcase 40% reduction in resource consumption, 30% improvement in process robustness and accuracy, and 30% increase in productivity by reduced cycle times under more reliable and efficient manufacturing conditions, the demonstration activities based on the RTD outcomes of the project will be geared to exploit future commercialisation opportunities throughout the extensive industrial networks of the Consortium, and to generate greater impacts in broader areas of the EU.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly turning to cloud computing services to save time and money. An EU initiative is developing cloud-based manufacturing to boost the competitiveness of SMEs within the industry.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
There is a growing need for manufacturing production systems to evolve in line with the products and processes of the future. The portability, flexibility, efficiency and productivity provided by the cloud enable businesses to perform optimally with an eye on tomorrow. However, SMEs have yet to embrace manufacturing cloud solutions that help them work smarter by providing cost-effective, on-demand access to technology and information.
With EU funding, the project 'Collaborative and adaptive process planning for sustainable manufacturing environments' (http://www.capp-4-smes.eu/ (CAPP-4-SMEs)) aims to develop a cloud manufacturing environment to facilitate the process plans of SMEs.
Central to the project is a web-based planning system that primarily gathers data on the availability and condition of factory machines in real time via the cloud. This cloud and service-oriented computing method focuses on several of the main concepts in the future of manufacturing.
SMEs will now have the option of leaving behind traditional tools and approaches and migrating their manufacturing processes and systems to the cloud.
During the first reporting period, project partners began with development of the service-oriented platform for cloud manufacturing. The integrated solution will support process planning services to make existing manufacturing processes and systems more robust.
CAPP-4-SMES is designing intelligent and sustainable solutions for the manufacturing industry. Cloud manufacturing should reduce product life-cycle times in factories by simplifying processes and systems. By doing so, the project will increase the competitiveness and efficiency of manufacturing SMEs.
