M4ESTRO project aspires to create a trustworthy and transparent end-to-end platform using a Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) approach to offer resilience and timely preparedness to the manufacturing industry during disruptive times.

The project proposes a holistic framework that is based on 4 pillars:

• Resilient, transparent and flexible manufacturing processes in value chains
• Resilient equipment, AI and trusted data for adaptive manufacturing
• Resilient Simulations to the Industrial Metaverse for responsive manufacturing
• Human centered Manufacturing Resilience and Sustainability

FAE Technology will test M4ESTRO platform approach within the framework of MyFASTPCBA digital platform, in order to integrate disruption management and Supply Chain optimization tools to provide new services to FAE customers.

E2S-CityScan proposes a smart solution based on autonomous IoT devices to be installed on a fleet of urban vehicles (e.g. garbage trucks, bus) to collect data from the urban environment such as air quality and thermal conditions.

E2S-CityScan infrastructure is based on some key distinctive features, first of all the modular and scalable Hardware design with a low-cost sensor unit that allows the project to adapt the data collection to the specific user’ need.
The project will take the opportunity to augment and empower an existing infrastructure (e.g. bus fleet) with a minimum modification to the vehicle and an IOT sensor, and the system will be validated and tested with the support of INIT GmbH.

The printed circuit board (PCB) is the core of electronics embedded systems, since connecting the microchips to create a dedicated smart function within a dedicated physical package for integration into the full system. Currently, PCB production is relying on photolithography processes, having a strong environmental impact, being optimized for large batch size, and mostly located in the far East (e.g., China) for reduction of operation costs.

Targets of LAB-3D-MES are (a) to industrialize a laser-based 3D manufacturing process for PCB, and (b) to roll-out for sustainable and European made electronic systems manufacturing services.

Project partners:

CYBERPOD (Tech provider with innovative 3D printing technology for PCB), FAE Technology (End-user and tester of technology) and Armengaud Innovate GMBH (Dissemination and management)

Funded under the Open Calls of the H2020 DIH-WORLD project, whose scope is to accelerate the uptake of advanced digital technologies by European manufacturing SMEs in all sectors strengthening at the same time the capacities of regional DIHs, particularly in underrepresented regions across Europe,  DE-HEAT is an experiment aimed at realizing and testing an innovative 3D printed heat sink for CPU electronic modules, to be developed and validated through a series of functional testing and quality controls within a real use-case application of a HMI device. Further, DE-HEAT will demonstrate how the 3D printed heat sink can improve prototyping, preproduction as well as product development in terms of costs reduction and time to market. Duration October 2022 – April 2023, total budget 38.661 Euro.

On factory floors, air quality is affected by the emissions of the industrial machinery and of the chemical compounds involved in the process – above all Particulate Matter PM¹ˉ¹ºµ and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), dangerous to the human health and the environment.

Diverse technologies are currently employed to sanitize the air on factory floors, ultimately eliminating polluting agents and abating bacterial and viral charges. The Green Factory project aims at employing an ‘hybrid’ technological mix (new, with IP potential) of PCO [Photo Catalytic Oxidation] and UVC [Ultra Violet Categories].
