Zero-enabling smart networked control framework for agile cyber physical production systems of systems (Zero-SWARM), is a project aiming to accelerate the uptake of advanced 5G technologies by European manufacturing sector.
The project mission is to achieve climate neutral and digitized production via a multidisciplinary, human centric, objective oriented innovative approach resulting in technical solutions for open swarm framework, non-public 5G network, active information continuum and digital twin. In essence, it establishes a unique forum where separately maturing technologies of 5G and cloud-edge continuum, data technologies and analysis (including data spaces and GAIA-X) and operational technology (automation and agility) break their siloes to co-design and co-create through 10 trials.
The objectives of the project include:
-
Open framework for the engineering and management of smart CPSoS, relying on advanced industrial 5G communication, to enable resilience Zero-X manufacturing;
-
Foster adoption of private industrial 5G as a major enabler of the Active Information Continuum (AIC);
-
Achieve a generic approach for distributed intelligent control applications;
-
Develop and validate a secure, trustworthy and open toolkit to support distributed automation over the decentralised data and intelligence infrastructures;
-
Test, validate, and demonstrate the ZeroSWARM identified trials;
-
Maximize the project impact and outreach to foster Zero-SWARM solutions up-take reinforcing the European industry competitiveness and its environmental, economic and social sustainability to fulfil leadership, resilience and sovereignty.
