Manufacturing the Heartbeat of Europe s Economy 17% of GDP 22 million of jobs 20% of direct jobs twice as many indirect jobs 66% of private R&D investment 28% of final energy consumption part of a complex global economic system
Manufacturing: A Large Potential for Productivity Gains Process & product innovation (e.g. ICT, automation) Outsourcing of non-core activities (e.g. logistics, ICT services, facility management) 1995-2007 46 % increase in manufacturing productivity compared to 20 % economy-wide productivity increase
Economic Crisis Effects in the EU 20 % overall decline of manufacturing output 10 % less manufacturing jobs 20-30 % decrease in output of technology-intensive investment goods
Factories of the Future: An Industry-driven Program Started in late 2008 Public-private partnership 1.2 bn budget (50% public) 4 years: 2009-2013 annual competitions Industry sets priorities evaluation & selection process under FP7 rules
Supply side Objective: 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 Demand side ICT 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
Sub-Domains: FoF Multi-Annual Roadmap 2010-2013 1. Sustainable Manufacturing 2. ICT-enabled intelligent manufacturing 3. High-performance manufacturing 4. Exploiting new materials through manufacturing http://ec.europa.eu/research/industrial_technologies/pdf/ppp-factories-of-the-futurestrategic-multiannual-roadmap-info-day_en.pdf
Factories of the Future: ICT Vision Smart Factories: Goal: More automation, better control & optimisation of factory processes Means: Software, lasers & intelligent devices embedded in machines & factory infrastructure Factory productivity Less waste Less energy use Faster time-to-market Better quality Sensors, Tags Product info data data info advice PLM agent (reader) PLM server Info request 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 Supply-chain productivity High-value products Keep jobs in Europe Process transparency IPR security Lower CO2 footprint 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 Design productivity Reduce design errors Better & efficient products Less waste + rework Faster time-to-market
