ATLANTIS ENGINEERING AE

Their core work

Atlantis Engineering is a Greek technology SME specializing in software platforms and decision-support systems for smart manufacturing. They build digital tools that help factories achieve zero-defect production, predictive maintenance, and equipment lifecycle extension. Their work spans the full manufacturing digitalization stack — from shop-floor data collection and quality control to collaborative digital platforms connecting factories across supply chains.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Atlantis Engineering began in 2015 with broad factory digitalization — augmented worker tools (SatisFactory) and a maintenance decision-support system (mainDSS), their only coordinated project. From 2016-2018, they concentrated heavily on zero-defect manufacturing and predictive maintenance (Z-Fact0r, Z-BRE4K, COMPOSITION). In 2019-2023, their focus shifted toward digital platforms, quality control, lifecycle extension, and circular economy — signaling a move from defect prevention toward full product-lifecycle management including refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.

Moving from preventing factory defects toward managing entire product lifecycles — including remanufacturing, digital twins, and circular economy platforms — positioning them for sustainability-driven manufacturing calls.

How they like to work

Atlantis Engineering operates almost exclusively as a project partner (9 of 10 projects), coordinating only one small SME-phase-1 feasibility study. They consistently join large Innovation Action consortia (7 of 10 projects are IAs), suggesting they contribute specific software components within bigger collaborative efforts. With 201 unique partners across 23 countries, they are a well-connected node in the European smart manufacturing network rather than a repeat-partner loyalist.

Extensive European network with 201 unique consortium partners spanning 23 countries, built primarily through large Innovation Action projects in smart manufacturing. Their Thessaloniki base gives them strong connections across Southern and Central European industrial ecosystems.

What sets them apart

Atlantis Engineering brings a rare combination: deep software expertise applied specifically to manufacturing quality and maintenance problems, delivered by an SME nimble enough to integrate into diverse consortia. Their progression from zero-defect manufacturing into circular economy and remanufacturing platforms gives them cross-domain fluency that larger, more siloed companies lack. For consortium builders, they offer a proven track record of delivering digital components in 10 manufacturing-focused projects without the overhead of a large corporate partner.
