Greek software SME building automation, inspection, and AI-driven control systems for advanced manufacturing environments.
Their core work
CASP S.A. is a Greek software consulting SME that develops industrial software solutions for advanced manufacturing environments. Their core work involves building automation, inspection, and control systems — translating shop-floor challenges into software tools for real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and human-robot collaboration. Across five H2020 projects, they have consistently served as the software integration partner bridging digital technologies (AI, multi-agent systems, robotics control) with physical manufacturing processes.
What they specialise in
PROGRAMS focused directly on prognostics-based maintenance scheduling; MAS4AI extends this with AI-driven production monitoring.
ComMUnion involved automated inspection and real-time control for multi-material joining; these capabilities carry into later robotics work.
MAS4AI (2020-2023) represents their newest direction — pervasive AI with multi-agent architectures for modular production environments.
MANUWORK addressed human-automation balancing and MERGING focused on robotic guidance, both requiring software for safe human-robot interaction.
How they've shifted over time
CASP's early H2020 work (2015-2017) centered on software for physical manufacturing processes — automated inspection, real-time control of laser joining systems, and multi-material composites monitoring in ComMUnion. From 2019 onward, they shifted decisively toward intelligence-driven manufacturing: robotic guidance systems (MERGING) and AI-powered multi-agent production control (MAS4AI). The trajectory is clear — from monitoring and inspection software toward autonomous decision-making systems on the factory floor.
CASP is moving from reactive monitoring tools toward AI and multi-agent systems that enable autonomous manufacturing decisions — expect future work in smart factories and Industry 5.0.
How they like to work
CASP operates exclusively as a project participant, never as coordinator — typical for a specialist SME that contributes defined software components rather than managing large consortia. With 66 unique partners across just 5 projects, they work in large consortia (averaging 13+ partners per project), suggesting comfort in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Their consistent participation across successive manufacturing projects indicates they are a trusted, repeat contributor in the EU advanced manufacturing research community.
CASP has built a broad European network of 66 unique partners across 13 countries through five large-consortium projects, indicating strong connectivity within the EU advanced manufacturing research ecosystem despite being a small Greek SME.
What sets them apart
CASP occupies a specific niche: they are a software SME that speaks both the language of manufacturing engineers and AI researchers. While many software companies work in generic IT consulting, CASP has deep domain knowledge in factory-floor processes — from laser joining inspection to robotic gripper control to multi-agent production scheduling. For consortium builders, they offer a rare combination: a small, flexible software partner with proven experience delivering industrial-grade control and AI components within large EU manufacturing projects.
Highlights from their portfolio
- MAS4AITheir most recent and strategically significant project, applying multi-agent AI systems to modular production — signals their future direction and highest-value capability.
- MERGINGLargest single EC contribution (EUR 415,000) and represents the intersection of robotics and intelligent software that defines their current expertise.
- ComMUnionTheir earliest H2020 project with the richest keyword data — reveals foundational expertise in automated inspection, real-time control, and multi-scale modelling.
