"NARRATE" NARRATE - REGENERATIVE RESILIENT SMART MANUFACTURING NETWORKS DESCRIPTION Manufacturing and logistics companies are subject to unforeseen events that disrupt the supply chain, causing production slowdowns, reduced output, and increased costs, making it difficult to meet customer demand. To mitigate these risks, manufacturers must build resilience across entire value chains. NARRATE will develop a sophisticated tool using AI, Digital Twin, and IoT technologies allowing end-to-end visibility and control over supply chain operations to monitor and predict potential disruptions, enabling supply chains to achieve improved resilience. The Intelligent Manufacturing Custodian (IMC) will leverage data from various production sources to enable proactive decision making and act as a nerve center for a supply-chain network, providing real-time monitoring and coordination of intelligent production processes and logistics. Integrating an IMC into a supply-chain will evolve its operations into Smart Manufacturing Network (SMN): a connected and self-orchestrated ecosystem linked end-to-end with programmable Manufacturing-as-a-Service capabilities that can withstand disruptions. A Digital Twin will provide a reliable model to represent production and operational data of an SMN to unlock deeper IMC intelligence. Collected data will train machine learning models to predict potential disruptions, such as natural disasters or delayed shipments. AI algorithms will analyze the data and provide real-time reporting and visualization on a dashboard. The IMC and Digital Twin interaction will generate powerful insights and self-adapting abilities that support an SMN to evolve under human supervision by switching services between multiple external partners to respond to risks and disruptions and improve energy efficiency, product circularity and environmental sustainability across the entire production process. The effectiveness of NARRATE will be evaluated by testing the IMC in real production environments in quite diverse industry sectors. OBJECTIVES 1.- Data visibility and AI solutions to improve resilience and production efficiency 2.- Contextualization of SMNs using advanced digital Twin Technologies 3.- Advanced analytics tools for more accurate predictions and mitigation of risks and disruptions 4.- Building and validating Smart Manufacturing Networks and Intelligent Manufacturing Custodian 5.- Create Societal Impact 6.- Innovation management, commercialization and exploitation Project Number: 22300027 Grant Agreement: 101138094 Duration: From 01/12/2023 to 30/11/2026 Coordinated in AIDIMME by: NÚÑEZ ARIÑO, Mª JOSÉ R&D Line: INDUSTRY 4.0 EXPLANATORY VIDEO RESULTS OBTAINED Year 2023: The project started on December 1, 2023, so it has only been worked on for one month. In that month the Kick-Off meeting was held at AIDIMME. For three intense days, the work plan was discussed and ideas were discussed among the task leaders to address the following months of work. The three pilots were explained and the needs to address each of them were explained so that the technical partners understand it and get to work on it. The Pilots are: 1) Pilot#1: Improving automation and resilience of the supply chain in the furniture industry, led by MICUNA 2) Pilot#2: 3D printing network as a service (SaaS) to improve resiliency and mitigate unexpected outages, led by AIDIMME 3) Pilot#3: Achieving supply chain resilience in the semiconductor industry, led by Budatec.
