RI-MACS R&D Program* RI-MACS is the acronym for Radically Innovative Mechatronics and Advanced Control Systems. The main objectives of the RI-MACS R&D program are the definition of a radically innovative manufacturing control open architecture based on state-of-the-art ICT technologies (in particular wireless technology) and modular mechatronics. All the technology being investigated will conform to open architecture standards. Interfaces must allow for easy integration with the other process units. Other factors considered include increasing factory safety and reducing the environmental impact. *) EU Contract Number NMP2-CT-2005-016938 13
