Citizen-centred
EU-EHR exchange for personalized health

The
Smart4Health consortium consists of 18 partners from medical, social and
technical sciences, and industry. Smart4Health is funded through the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No
826117 with a maximum of €21.8 million over 50 months.

Every
citizen of the European Union should be able to access her or his own health
data easily and securely within each EU member state. The Horizon 2020 research
consortium “Smart4Health” aims to realize this vision by developing a prototype
applications that allows users to collect, manage, share and donate their
health-related data throughout the EU.

Full title	Fostering DIHs for Embedding Interoperability in Cyber-Physical Systems of European SMEs

DIH4CPS has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Grant Agreement no 872548.

The
initiative for Fostering DIHs for Embedding Interoperability in Cyber-Physical
Systems of European SMEs (DIH4CPS) will help European enterprises overcome the
innovation hurdles and establish Europe as a world leading innovator of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution. DIH4CPS will create an embracing,
interdisciplinary network of DIHs and solution providers, focussed on
cyber-physical and embedded systems, interweaving knowledge and technologies
from different domains, and connecting regional clusters with the pan-European
expert pool of DIHs.

Cutting edge Process Modelling and Simulation

Research areaOpen calls BeinCPPSDuration15 months / start date: 2017-05-01 / ongoingDescription

The main objective of CPMSinCPPS is to investigate the applicability of the
BEinCPPS components to improve the performance of the SMEs’
manufacturing processes.

The industrial use-case, CRISTEMA, is a SME cutlery manufacturer located in
North of Portugal. CRISTEMA is seeking to move towards an operational
CPS-based production process with the support of BEinCPPS modelling and
simulation components to improve its performances. The design, the
development and the implementation are performed with the support of
UNINOVA (PT), INTEROP-VLab (BE) and the contribution of University of
Minho (PT).

The challenges faced are the automation of data collection as well as the
analysis of the production data for process management. Therefore two
solutions are developed: a data collector and a process modeler which
will enable flexibility and optimization of the manufacturing system and
therefore decrease the company’s costs.

Full title	Future Internet Technologies for Manufacturing
Research area	Future Internet Public-Private Partnership call FP7-2012-ICT-FI obj:FI.ICT-2011.1.8: Use Case scenarios and early trials
Duration	24 months / start date: 2013-04-01 / completed
Description	FITMAN aims to provide industry-led use case trials in the domain of smart, digital and virtual factories of the future. The trials will test and assess the suitability, openness and flexibility of FI-WARE’s Generic Enablers while contributing to the sustainability of EU manufacturing industries. The mission of the FITMAN (Future Internet Technologies for MANufacturing industries) project is to provide the FI PPP Core Platform with 10 industry-led use case trials in the domains of Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories of the Future.FITMAN Trials (4 conducted by Large Enterprises, 6 by SMEs) will test and assess the suitability, openness and flexibility of FI-WARE Generic Enablers while contributing to the STEEP (social-technological-economical-environmental-political) sustainability of EU Manufacturing Industries. The use case trials belong to several manufacturing sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, white goods, furniture, textile/clothing, LED lighting, plastic, construction, and manufacturing assets management.

MSEE	FP7-ICT / Project No. 284860
Website	http://www.msee-ip.eu
Full title	Manufacturing Service Ecosystem
Research area	FoF-ICT-2011.7.3 – Virtual Factories and enterprises
Duration	36 months / start date: 2011-10-01 / completed
Description	By 2015, novel service-oriented management methodologies and the Future Internet universal business infrastructure will enable European virtual factories and enterprises to self-organize in distributed, autonomous, interoperable, non-hierarchical innovation ecosystems of tangible and intangible manufacturing assets, to be virtually described, on-the-fly composed and dynamically delivered as a Service, end-to-end along the globalised value chain. The MSEE 2015 Vision stems upon two complementary pillars, which have characterized the last 10 years of research about Virtual Organizations, Factories and Enterprises: Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Digital Business Ecosystems (DBE). The first Grand Challenge for MSEE project is to make SSME (Service Science, Management and Engineering) evolve towards Manufacturing Systems and Factories of the Future, i.e.: from a methodological viewpoint to adapt, modify, extend SSME concepts so that they could be applicable to traditionally product-oriented enterprises; from an implementation viewpoint to instantiate Future Internet service oriented architectures and platforms for global manufacturing service systems. The second Grand Challenge for MSEE project is to transform current manufacturing hierarchical supply chains into manufacturing open ecosystems, i.e.: to define and implement business processes and policies to support collaborative innovation in a secure industrial environment; to define a new collaborative architecture for ESA, to support business-IT interaction and distributed decision making in virtual factories and enterprises. The synthesis of the two Grand Challenges above in industrial business scenarios and their full adoption in some European test cases will result in new Virtual Factory Industrial Models, where service orientation and collaborative innovation will support a new renaissance of Europe in the global manufacturing context.
