EFFRA: who we are and what we do

About EFFRA

• industry-driven European association

• created by MANUFUTURE ETP and by industrial associations

• partner of the European Commission

• creates consensus oncommon R&D priorities

• strong network of SME’s, large industry & RTOs www.effra.eu

Overview of the FoF PPPAgile Manufacturing Industries: from Mechatronics to Collaborative Supply Chains

• Funded under FP-7

• 61 projects up and running

• Statistics show industrial participation of more than 50% (compared to some 20-30% for total FP7)

• € 250M of EU in 2010/11

• Success rate of up to 20%

• Time-to-contract 1st call: 8.5 months

• Industry participation: 50-60%

• Additional € 400M in 2012/13

After 2013 FoF PPP will

continue under Horizon 2020

EFFRA Roadmap: ‘Factories of the Future in Horizon 2020’

RD&I roadmap 2014-2020

• roadmap will cover R&D

and innovation activities

• guiding principles:

industry competitiveness,

from research to industrial application

and market uptake

• ambition: key impact on industrial

application fields

• Advanced manufacturing processes• mass production of functional 3D systems

• additive manufacturing of customer custom made parts

• automated production of composite structures/products

• shaping technology such as forming and machining

• Mechatronic technologies for advanced manufacturing systems

• control technologies, increasing computational power and intelligence

• continuous monitoring of the condition and performance, introducing autonomous diagnosis capabilities and context-awareness.

• intelligent machinery components

Factories of the Future PPP: EFFRA Roadmap

Technologies & Enablers

• Information & Communication TechnologiesConsidering ICT trends: collaborative manufacturing – connectivity – mobility-

– manufacturing intelligence

• ICT solutions for factory floor and physical world inclusion

• all need to be connected to each other and to back-end systems and be self-aware of the surrounding environment.

• ICT solutions for next generation data storage and information mining

• ICT solutions for implementing secure, high performance and open manufacturing services platforms

• collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools

• Modelling, simulation and forecasting • for integrated product-process-production system

• strategically support the manufacturing-related activities during phases

• Manufacturing strategies
