Imagine if your factory broke down and you could instantly rent a neighbor's machine through an app to keep your orders moving. Instead of relying on one fixed supplier, this system lets companies swap manufacturing tasks across a wide network of partners. It's like a ride-sharing service, but for industrial production lines and machinery.
Traditional manufacturing chains are too rigid to handle sudden supply shocks or geopolitical instability. When one link breaks, the entire production line stops because companies cannot quickly find alternative production capacity.
A MaaS platform (alpha version) and a toolkit including a Resilience Scoreboard, risk assessment models, and scenario planning tools.
If you are a component supplier dealing with a sudden factory shutdown — this project developed a Resilience Scoreboard and a MaaS platform that allows you to quickly find and connect to external manufacturing services to fulfill orders.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with unpredictable spikes in customer demand — this project developed a toolkit for network reorchestration that lets you scale production by utilizing idle capacity in a value network.
If you are a machine shop dealing with underutilized equipment — this project developed a servitization model that lets you offer your spare manufacturing capacity as a service to other companies.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not mentioned; the project focuses on developing the models and platform architecture.
The project is currently being tested in two use case demonstrators across 6 countries, suggesting a design intended for cross-border value networks.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project follows Horizon Europe's open science priorities.
The project integrates digital tools and simulation models into a platform designed to orchestrate manufacturing services in real time.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, with alpha and beta models already developed in the first 18 months.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 67% industry ratio, comprising 8 companies (including 2 SMEs) and 4 universities. This strong commercial presence across 6 countries (DE, DK, FR, IT, RO, TR) indicates that the resulting toolkit is being built for practical industrial application rather than pure academic research.
