Imagine a factory that can change its own setup like a Lego set to handle different materials or energy prices on the fly. It uses smart AI agents that act like a digital brain to coordinate machines and save energy. This helps heavy plants stop wasting heat and switch to green power without shutting down for weeks.
Energy-intensive industries struggle with rigid production lines that cannot adapt quickly to changing energy prices, raw material quality, or market demand, leading to waste and high emissions.
A system of AI agents and digital twins that orchestrate modular equipment, including low-temperature electrolysis and waste heat recovery systems.
If you are a copper processor dealing with high energy costs and rigid production lines — this project developed melting-free roll bonding that allows for greener and more flexible copper recycling.
If you are a ceramics producer dealing with volatile feedstock and high emissions — this project developed an agentic AI system that optimizes production scheduling and energy management to reduce GHG emissions.
If you are a utility provider dealing with inefficient water cleaning processes — this project developed digital twins and real-time monitoring to improve resource efficiency and energy savings.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided as this is a research and innovation action.
The solutions are being validated through pilot-scale demonstrations reaching TRL7 in copper, ceramics, and wastewater sectors.
Based on available project data, the specific IP and licensing terms are not disclosed in the project summary.
It uses a modular, interoperable digital architecture based on Asset Administration Shells and IIoT-enabled digital twins to connect with physical assets.
The project runs from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2030.
The project features a strong industrial base with 11 companies (46% of the 24 partners), ensuring that the AI tools are built for real-world application. With 7 research centers and 6 universities across 10 European countries, the group balances deep academic knowledge in electrolysis and ceramics with practical SME and enterprise deployment capabilities.
