Emerging technologies for smart factories
(Jul 2026 – Jun 2029)
Research Project SMARTFACT
The aim of the programme is to develop technologies for smarter, more flexible and more efficient manufacturing through the use of artificial intelligence, process control, robotics, and laser and plasma technologies. The programme will deliver new methods, algorithms and industrially validated prototypes for process monitoring, optimisation and automation, quality control, and more efficient use of energy and materials.
