3.4.3

New production Processes & Devices

Dir G - DG ResearchWarszawa, 20go stycznia 2003

• Processes and devices in support of transformation from traditional to high added-value industry

– Development of new processes & flexible and intelligent manufacturing systems

– Systems research and hazard control– Life-cycle (production-use and user awareness)

Area of more socio-economic nature

• Promoting holistic production concepts & transition towards more knowledge-based production through innovative processes, systems and devices and their incorporation in the factory of tomorrow :

• Hybrid technologies• micro-systems & automation• high precision production equipment• integration of ICT technologies• sensing & control technologies• new engineering techniques• innovative robotics ….

New processes & devices and flexible & intelligent systems

• Improving sustainability of industrial systems through reduction in environmental and health impact & resource consumption :

• new systems and devices for safe and clean production• sustainable waste management• hazard reduction in production• enhancement of company responsibility• “production-use-consumption” interactions as well as socio-

economic implications

Systems approach and hazard control

• Improving the life-cycle and service orientation of products and production :

• research will focus on innovative products-services systems that optimise the “design-production-service-end-of-life” value chain through the development of hybrid technologies and new organisational structure

Optimising the life cycle of industrial systems, products and

services

Transformation of European industry for improved competitiveness & sustainability

Collaboration research; industry and public authorities (eg.Eureka) for “manufacturing in 2010”
