HALFBACK

to the research projects

Inter-country readily available smart factories in the cloud

Unexpected downtime of machines or production tools affects the production process and product quality resulting in unplanned costs for companies. Production stoppages are especially bad for the competitiveness of SMEs.

The HALFBACK project deals with this theme and aims to support SMEs in the production process and reduce machine downtime. To do so, a software prototype will be developed during the project which predicts and optimizes maintenance planning using the machine's own sensor data. At the same time, options for (partial) outsourcing of the production are indicated so that it does not have to be stopped. An intelligent "machine broker" will make possible a statewide coordination of companies and machines.
