Project Timeline
January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2023
Objective 1
Design an intelligent, autonomous, flexible and reconfigurable energy sustainability manufacturing closed control loop manager that constantly adapts the manufacturing processes, product lines, equipment functionality in order to always comply with operator determined energy sustainability indicators.
Objective 2
Provide a intelligent, holistic, secure and trusted sensor data collection and analysis mechanism that can process energy data from heterogeneous factory actors, equipment and processes in order to extract accurate energy sustainability metrics.
Objective 3
Structure a FOF digital twin that can simulate the factory operation and predict holistically, based on historical and real collected data, a factory energy sustainability fingerprint. The digital twin should take into account the energy impact of human operator behavior.
Objective 4
Consider throughout the EnerMan lifecycle human users and operators and provide extended reality solutions that increase their situational awareness on energy sustainability well practices for the industrial process.
Objective 5
Integrate the EnerMan various tools into a unified solution and realize industrial manufacturing opportunities in energy consuming environments by validating tools and techniques in real-world settings.
Objective 6
Specify a standardized regulation framework for energy sustainability optimization achievement in multiple industry manufacturing environments. Also, specify a certification strategy for industrial manufacturing energy sustainability.
Objective 7
To define evidence-based business and financing models along with a business plan for the post-project sustainable exploitation of the EnerMan framework.
