• Outsourcing of non-core activities (e.g. logistics, ICT services, facility management)

46 % increase in manufacturing productivity compared to

20 % economy-wide productivity increase

Factories of the Future: Context

• What: • Part of the European Economic Recovery Plan • To help manufacturing, in particular SMEs, across a broad

range of sectors to be competitive after the Crisis is over

• How: • Industry-driven R&D projects • 4 annual co-ordinated calls until 2013 between the two

relevant FP7 Themes, ICT and NMP

• Who: • R&D stakeholders of European Technology Platforms • Technology providers & industrial users (large & SME),

academic researchers

Recovery Plan Objectives: Industrial Competitiveness

Technology/manufacturing equipment suppliers to gain market share: • Automation/industrial robotics & laser technology solutions for factory environments • Product/production design tools (eg software for modelling, simulation, visualisation) • Enterprise/supply-chain management tools

European industrial end users: • To integrate latest technology into their production environments • To develop new competencies (knowledge, organisation, skills, business models) • To use technologies that enable energy-efficient and “waste-less” production

Smart Factories: • Goal:

More automation, better control & optimisation of factory processes

• Means: Software, lasers & intelligent devices embedded in machines & factory infrastructure

Factories of the Future: The ICT Vision

• Less waste & energy use • Increased efficiency • Fast turnaround • Better quality

Virtual Factories: – Goal:

To manage supply chains; to create value by integrating products & services

– Means: Software to holistically interconnect & manage distributed factory assets; new business models & value propositions

• High-value products • Jobs • SC transparency • IPR security • CO2 footprint

• Less design errors • Better & efficient products • Less waste + rework • Faster time-to-market

Digital Factories: – Goal:

To “see” the product before it is produced – Means:

Software for the digital representation & test of products & processes prior to their manufacture & use
