PENELOPE, Mari4_YARD, and IMPROVE all involve human-machine interfaces, AR solutions, or AI-assisted wearables for factory workers.
TRANSITION TECHNOLOGIES PSC SPOLKA AKCYJNA
Polish industrial IT company building worker-centric digital tools — AR, predictive analytics, and collaborative robotics — for advanced manufacturing.
Their core work
Transition Technologies PSC is a Polish IT services company specializing in industrial software solutions — particularly digital tools for manufacturing. In H2020 projects, they contribute machine learning models, predictive analytics platforms, human-machine interfaces, and augmented reality solutions for factory floors. Their work focuses on making manufacturing smarter and more worker-friendly, bridging the gap between shop-floor operators and complex digital systems in sectors like shipbuilding and large-component production.
What they specialise in
IMPROVE focused on data-driven modelling and predictive analytics for production systems; PENELOPE applies similar principles to zero-defect manufacturing.
Both PENELOPE and Mari4_YARD target modular, flexible manufacturing — for large components and shipyards respectively.
INEDIT explored open manufacturing demonstration facilities and Do-It-Together approaches with maker communities.
Mari4_YARD includes novel collaborative robotics solutions for small and medium-sized shipyards.
How they've shifted over time
Their early work (2015–2018, IMPROVE) centered on data-driven modelling, simulation, and predictive analytics for production efficiency — classic Industry 4.0 back-end intelligence. From 2019 onward, they shifted decisively toward the human side of manufacturing: worker-centric tools, augmented reality, AI-assisted exoskeletons, and collaborative robotics (PENELOPE, Mari4_YARD). The evolution shows a company moving from "making machines smarter" to "making workers more capable" — a meaningful pivot toward human-AI collaboration on the factory floor.
They are moving toward human-centered Industry 5.0 solutions — expect future work combining AR, wearable AI, and collaborative robotics for skilled manual workers in complex manufacturing.
How they like to work
TT PSC has never coordinated an H2020 project — they consistently join as a technology partner, contributing specific software and digital tool development within larger consortia. With 80 unique partners across 14 countries from just 4 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia (averaging 20+ partners per project). This profile suggests a reliable technical contributor that integrates well into big multinational teams without needing to drive the agenda.
Despite only 4 projects, TT PSC has built connections with 80 partners across 14 countries — a wide network driven by participation in large Innovation Action consortia. Their reach spans Western and Southern Europe, typical of manufacturing-focused H2020 projects.
What sets them apart
TT PSC sits at the intersection of industrial IT services and human-centered manufacturing — a combination that is rare among Polish H2020 participants, who tend to be either universities or small software startups. As a large private company (not an SME), they bring commercial-grade software development capacity to EU consortia, meaning their tools are closer to deployable products than academic prototypes. Their consistent focus on the worker-technology interface makes them a strong partner for anyone building Industry 5.0 solutions where operators — not just algorithms — are central.
Highlights from their portfolio
- PENELOPETheir largest funded project (EUR 318K), addressing closed-loop digital pipelines for large-scale, one-of-a-kind manufacturing — a high-complexity industrial challenge.
- Mari4_YARDCombines collaborative robotics, AR, and AI-assisted exoskeletons for shipyards — an unusual and ambitious application domain that showcases their full technology stack.
- IMPROVETheir entry point into H2020 (as third party), focused on foundational predictive analytics and machine learning for production — the technical base for everything that followed.
