Productive4.0 is an ambitious holistic innovation project, meant to open the doors to the potentials of Digital Industry and to maintain a leadership position of the industries in Europe. All partners involved will work on creating the capability to efficiently design and integrate hardware and software of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Linking the real with the digital world takes more than just adding software to the hardware.
Productive4.0 provided evidence for the fact that transparency and cooperation can cause a real digital push to Europe’s industry. This is why it received the Technology Pioneer Award 2021. At the same time, the award by EU programme ECSEL JU (Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership Joint Undertaking) is a tribute to the […]
When Productive4.0 started in May 2017, its intention to «open the gates to the digital future» raised high expectations of the ambitious European project with 109 partners. Now that the research work is done, they turn out to be more than fulfilled. Apart from the total funding of roughly 50 million euros, it is satisfying […]
A big achievement in Productive4.0 was made in work package (WP)9 which focuses on product use cases along the entire supply chain in various domains of the European industry. It demonstrates how product life cycle management will benefit from the capabilities of Digital Industry and IIot and technological and conceptual approaches in fields like service-oriented […]
With 109 partners involved, Productive4.0 is Europe’s biggest research project in the field of Digital Industry. As a brain pool the Framework takes a step further towards hands-on solutions. Means of electronics and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) across the entire value chain are the key to enhanced production efficiency and significant gains.
They will make production more predictable and flexible, change business models, and they will be the basis for more qualified employment. Productive4.0 will furnish the companies with fundamental tools necessary to transform the potentials of the upcoming digital revolution, known as Digital Industry, into business success.
Visions & Facts
The co-funded innovation project Productive 4.0 receives grants from the European Commissions H2020 research and innovation programme, ECSEL Joint Undertaking (project no. 737459), the free state of Saxony, the German Federal Ministry of Education and national funding authorities from involved countries.
More than 100 partners from 19 European countries will work on preparing the way for the upcoming digital transformation. The Productive4.0 consortium is composed of highly experienced partners along the entire added value chain.
