Impact

I-RAMP³ contributes to the transition of the European manufacturing industry and especially SMEs into a knowledge-based business. With the integration of specific know-how into machines and devices an added value will be generated and a competitive advantage for this sector will be reached. As a consequence of the novel technology a huge step towards flexible and sustainable production “made in Europe” will be taken. In particular, the following impacts are expected:

  • Drastic reduction of the ramp-up time and efforts for new or re-configured manufacturing systems
  • Increased production efficiency by optimal production system setup
  • Increased Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) of the entire manufacturing system
  • Quality aggregation and assessment on different levels of the production processes
  • Improved services for NETDEVs by component suppliers & integrators
  • More flexible, project-based collaboration between different component supplier

Technical impacts:

I-RAMP³ will realize a number of tangible achievements, which will lead to the project’s impacts:

  • The I-RAMP³ project will encapsulate components and complex sensors in NETDEVS, which allow for faster installation and configuration in production systems
  • The I-RAMP³ project will reduce the complexity for human personnel to integrate new components or entire production systems
  • The NETDEV concept will make the capability of a networked device transparent
  • The I-RAMP³ project will allow to (semi-)automatically optimize the device configuration
  • The I-RAMP³ approach will allow a more flexible, project-based, collaboration between different component supplier

Economic impact:

The I-RAMP³ project will contribute to the transition of the European manufacturing industry and especially SMEs into a knowledge-based business. It will thereby generateadded value and a competitive advantage for one of Europes most important industrial sectors. This will be supported by:

  • Allowing component suppliers & system integrators to integrate knowledge in NETDEVs
  • Making hidden knowledge of NETDEVs available for factory optimization /reconfiguration
  • Allowing component suppliers & integrators to provide fast and tailored optimization services to end users
