The document discusses the European Commission's efforts towards developing a digital industrial strategy for Europe. It outlines initiatives taken in previous framework programs to boost innovation through ICT, including projects with companies like Airbus. It then discusses ongoing and planned actions under Horizon 2020 to foster digital innovation in manufacturing through public-private partnerships and support for SMEs. These include funding for topics like modeling/simulation and pilot lines to demonstrate new technologies. The overall aim is to develop an integrated strategy across Europe that harnesses ICT to strengthen competitiveness and innovation in industry.

13. In avionics around Airbus
- Problem: Complex re-design and ramp-up cycles lead to delays in production
- Cause:
CAD and production set up are not yet integrated
Complex value chain and supplier network structure not fully integrated
- Our contribution to a solution: Strengthen the integration of the Airbus supplier network
from ERP down to production and customization level
I4MS: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE
FoFdation
Integrate CAD and production
– Manufacturing "TO-GO"
– CNC machines understand CAD
– Win-Win
