Factories of the Future (EU)
Speaker:
Željko PazinEFFRA Executive Director
Background
Manufacturing & Europe Despite the continued fall-out from crisis,
manufacturing means a lot for Europe:
20 % Direct jobs 67 % Exports 65 % Business R&D Expenditure Manufacturing in Europe remains
diverse
Progress needed to achieve competitiveness
Importance of manufacturing now recognised by EU and the member states
Evolution of advanced manufacturing requires horizontal & vertical approach in Europe
Development of more competitive & sustainable industry needs support = ‘Factories of the Future’
(via @EU_Commission 14/01/2015)
EFFRA
Who we are
Representing private side in ‘Factories of the Future’ PPP
156 members (Large, SME, RTO etc.)
An experienced, enaged and motivated community
Actively promotes Factories of the Future PPP & projects
Collaborates closely with EC to develop strategic research agenda (‘roadmap’)
Supports members from across Europe
Factories of the Future 2020
Strategic Roadmap
One document covering 2014-2020
Developed by EFFRA & through broad public consultation
Identifies megatrends which drive structural changes in manufacturing sectors
Establishes research priorities which will allow industry to meet these challenges
Priorities focus on development, application & integration of enablers & technologies
‘Factories of the Future’ call topics based upon research priorities = industry relevant
Not static: we are developing the Roadmap further

Factories of the Future
Digitalisation = Transformation of Manufacturing
Factories of the Future
Big Data
Internet of Things
Cyber-Physical Systems Augmented Reality

Complex Systems
Selection of digital issues impacting on & being addressed in ‘Factories of the Future’
‘Digitalisation’ affects multiple aspects of manufacturing such as: Distributed manufacturing Mass customisation Process quality – monitoring and control Interconnectivity of machines Plant management Data processing Training, Apps for workers, etc
Advanced manufacturing cannot evolve without digitalisation – IoT fundamental for evolution of manufacturing
Equally innovations in digitalisation will be driven by the needs of advanced manufacturing
Manufacturing companies becoming much more involved in developing digital services & ICT-enabled tech. to meet their particular needs
Factories of the Future
Digitalisation = Transformation of Manufacturing
Factories of the Future
Digitalisation in ‘Factories of the Future 2020’
Manufacturing for custom-made parts– 3D Printing
M2M Cloud connectivity for future manufacturing enterprises
Integrated high-performance computing
Collaborative demand & supply planning, traceability & execution
‘Plug-and-play’ interfaces for factory workers in dynamic work environments
ICT solutions for energy-efficient product life cycles
ProgressFactories of the Future PPP
200+ projects
1,300+ organisations participating
60% industrial participation
>30% of funding to SMEs
77% of funding to non-EFFRA members
Partnership is addressing all multiple topics to transform manufacturing (from CPS to zero-defect factories)
Launch of dedicated Innovation Portal
Successful implementation of strategic multi-annual roadmap (FP7)
Ongoing implementation of ‘Factories of the Future 2020’ roadmap (Horizon 2020)
Measuring Progress & ImpactFactories of the Future PPP: Progress
We monitor projects from the start until 3-5 years after finalisation, which means we look at a time span of up to 7-8 years
Takes time (in years) to realise impact. There is a time delay
EFFRA & partners actively working to identify key parameters and indicators

Factories of the Future PPP: on-line resource
EFFRA Innovation Portal
www.effra.eu/portal
• for progress monitoring
• for on-line brokerage
• for sharing information among projects
• for promoting projects, results and demonstrators to the wider community
• for portfolio management and analysing coverage of FoF 2020 roadmap
• for supporting the further roadmapping exercises
One reference resource…
• Exploitable Results & Demonstrators 364 results have been reported by 53 projects, which is an average of 7
systems/technologies per project (2014 report) Results enable a broad range of gains in terms of quality, market
responsiveness, resource efficiency and time efficiency 30 patent applications, 50 standardisation activities FoF project results contribute to large-scale demonstrators, investments in
equipment and pilot factories The continuous generation of results are mapped on the Innovation Portal
• Spin-offs/Start-Ups 7 spin-offs/start-ups reported so far, illustrating a good balance between
technology push & technology pull within the FoF PPP• Including: Sentio, FemtoPrint, Cognibotics & Lithoz
Progress and KPIsFactories of the Future PPP
Things to consider:‘Factories of the Future’ was highly successful under FP7 & continues to be so under Horizon 2020. Links to new initiatives
1) Investment Plan for Europe: European Fund for Strategic Investments Clear information needed
Horizon 2020 R,D &I funding must be secure & remain available to intended programmes to ensure they can deliver
2) Smart Specialisation Complicated issue for manufacturing research & innovation
Need to understand what should be addressed at what level
A stronger emphasis on complementary actions is needed
We need realistic, fact-based discussion, not just promotion, marketing or feeding unrealistic expectations for unlimited funding opportunities
Factories of the Future: Recommendations
Horizon 2020 vs other programmes
Factories of the Future
EU – national level cooperation The overall goal should be a truly European
approach i.e. close cooperation between all levels FoF PPP and EFFRA embedded in national &
regional programmes including: Industrie 4.0, Industrie du futur Smart Industry, Factories del Futur Fabbrica Intelligente, etc
EU – National alignment important: Coherent approach Achieving greater impact Link knowledge & expertise (competences) Greater up-take of project results Facilitate best support for SMEs as they adapt
Beyond Europe: International dimension: PPP linked to IMS - Intelligent Manufacturing
Systems & World Manufacturing Forum (WMF)
