Project Acronym Product passport for the Metal Industry with Predictive Maintenance
Sector Metal
Funding/budget 50 KEUR
Short project Summary
The MetalX will interconnect industrial manufacturer with the provider of the engineer services using the Market 4.0 platform as a mediator. The proposed activities are part of the ongoing digitalization taking place in Metalac factory, with a goal to provide digital identity to all machines and processes in form of a digital twin. This project will follow this approach by expanding Market 4.0 functionalities with product passport component for machinery; and integrating interfaces and data flows from production equipment by adapting existing predictive maintenance service. The prototype of the service is developed for Metalac to monitor their machinery for manufacturing of enameled, stainless steel and non-stick cookware (using vibration sensors and data collected from processes). The goal is to adapt interfaces, execute integration with platform IDS connectors so as to provide efficient product passport components for the industry, working with the Market 4.0 workflows and apps.
