IPRODUCE - A SOCIAL MANUFACTURING FRAMEWORK FOR STREAMLINED MULTI-STAKEHOLDER OPEN INNOVATION MISSIONS IN CONSUMER GOODS SECTORS




DESCRIPTION

Democratized innovation holds undeniable promise for European producers, but the integration with corporate innovation practices is in its infancy. While the interest is real, it is still neither easy or efficient for producers - especially SMEs to benefit from collaborative production. The iPRODUCE project takes well proven concepts and approaches (from DIY manufacturing, FabLabs, Makerspace), and aims to upscale them through innovative technology solutions and to install them in well-connected multi-stakeholder ecosystems under an umbrella concept of collaborative Manufacturing Demonstration Facilities ( cMDF) ”.
We organize our work under a social-manufacturing platform that enables multi-stakeholder interactions and collaborations to support user-driven open-innovation and co-creation. At the heart of the iPRODUCE platform is an open digital space supported by a set of innovative tools that cover matchmaking, secure interactions, generative product design, process orchestration, agile prototyping, usability evaluations and lifecycle management. We complement these technical tools with a strong social component that aims at easing the notorious hardship of engagement with makers and aim to open up to new maker segments, while we improve on SoA tools for Lead User Innovation identification.
The iPRODUCE platform will be deployed in six local 'ecosystems' which cover different levels of maturity with collaborative production, diverse objectives and application areas spanning from home furnishing, automotive / mobility, consumer photography, medical ecquipment and more. The platform supports knowledge and resource sharing across cMDFs and all our results will be monitored and evaluated.

OBJECTIVES

1.- To define a social manufacturing framework (SMF) for the collaborative design, engineering and manufacturing of consumer goods by engaging manufacturers, makers and consumers (MMCs) in relevant open innovation (OI) challenges / missions.
2.- To create and establish local Collaborative Manufacturing Demonstration Facilities (cMDF) by
interconnecting and enriching existing micro-manufacturing facilities. For this purpose various local stakeholders are
expected to 'join' facilities / infrastructure to support
3.- To develop and deploy a digital platform that will facilitate the activities of the local cMDFs and will allow
them to operate independently (at local level) under a loose federated organizational structure (at European level)
4.- To develop and deploy a set of digital tools that will stimulate co-creation and open innovation in the
consumer goods sectors; (including also the development of e-training sessions, recommendations for green
production engineering, recycling / repairing and circular economy approaches), etc.
5.- To introduce social media-driven consumer and maker engagement strategies
6.- To devise novel sharing economy business models and IPR management strategies and tools to simplify
and automate multi-stakeholder interactions. (business models for shorter time to market product engineering; Build
trust through smart contracts and tokenization of work and IPR)
7.- To integrate the social manufacturing framework, the digital platform and the digital tools into a social
manufacturing space
8.- To define the iPRODUCE open innovation challenges and validate and demonstrate the proposed social
manufacturing space through 5 pilot cMDFs and 15 open innovation missions in 4 consumer goods subsectors

EXPLANATORY VIDEO


RESULTS OBTAINED

Year 2023: The project ended in July 2023 with great success, presenting the results to the European Commission, lasting three and a half years.
An innovative platform focused on Social Manufacturing has been developed, as well as digital tools and services to promote collaboration between manufacturers, designers, creators and consumers, thus promoting interaction and collaboration between various agents and interested parties, with special emphasis on innovation. open (Open Innovation) driven by the user and product co-creation.
The iPRODUCE project implemented collaborative activities in multiple consumer sectors. These sectors covered a wide range of industries, such as furniture, electronics and mobility, among others.
It is worth highlighting the success in holding Competitions and a Hackathon in 5 countries at the same time using the project tools and the platform for co-design and co-creation of products in different areas, generating 95 conceptual ideas of new development and 17 winners awarded.
