Commission
• creates consensus on
common R&D priorities
• strong network of SME’s, large
industry & RTOs www.effra.eu

3. Agile Manufacturing Industries: from Mechatronics to Collaborative Supply Chains
Overview of the FoF PPP
• 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%
After 2013 FoF PPP will
• Time-to-contract 1st call: 8.5 months
continue under Horizon 2020
• Industry participation: 50-60%
• Additional € 400M in 2012/13

4. 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

5. Factories of the Future PPP: EFFRA Roadmap

6. Factories of the Future PPP: EFFRA Roadmap
Technologies & Enablers
• Information & Communication Technologies
Considering 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
