• 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 3

Manufacturing:
Higher Productivity Gains
• Process & product innovation (e.g. ICT,
automation)

7/6/2012
• 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

Factories of the Future:
Context
• What:
• Part of the European Economic Recovery Plan
• To help manufacturing, in particular SMEs, across a broad
range of sectors to be competitive after the Crisis is over

7/6/2012
• How:
• Industry-driven R&D projects

• 4 annual co-ordinated calls until 2013 between the two
relevant FP7 Themes, ICT and NMP
• Who:
• R&D stakeholders of European Technology Platforms
• Technology providers & industrial users (large & SME),
academic researchers
• Total FP7 budget (2010-2013):
• More than 600 M€: 245 M€ (ICT) + 400 M€ (NMP)

Recovery Plan Objectives:
Industrial Competitiveness
Supply side
Technology/manufacturing equipment suppliers to gain market share:

7/6/2012
• Automation/industrial robotics & laser technology solutions for factory environments
• Product/production design tools (eg software for modelling, simulation, visualisation)
• Enterprise/supply-chain management tools

ICT
Demand side
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

Factories of the Future:
The ICT Vision
Smart Factories: Factory productivity
• Goal:
More automation, better control & • Less waste & energy use
optimisation of factory processes • Increased efficiency
• Means: • Fast turnaround

7/6/2012
Software, lasers & intelligent devices • Better quality
embedded in machines & factory infrastructure
Virtual Factories: Supply-chain productivity

– Goal: • High-value products
To manage supply chains; to create • Jobs
value by integrating products & services
• SC transparency
– Means: • IPR security
Software to holistically interconnect • CO2 footprint
& manage distributed factory assets;
new business models & value propositions
Digital Factories: Design productivity
– Goal: • Less design errors
To “see” the product before it is produced
• Better & efficient products
– Means: • Less waste + rework
Software for the digital representation & • Faster time-to-market
test of products & processes prior
to their manufacture & use 7
