Advanced Manufacturing (examples)

• ICT-enabled intelligent manufacturing, i.e. integrating digital technologies into production processes (e.g. smart factories)

• High performance manufacturing, combining flexibility, precision and zero-defect (e.g. high precision machine tools, advanced sensors, 3D printers)

• Sustainable manufacturing technologies, i.e. technologies to increase manufacturing efficiency in the use of energy and materials and reduce emissions

Grouping EU initiatives in support of ADMA

• Research and Development of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (Horizon 2020)

• Demonstration and deployment of ADMA in manufacturing products (KETs approach)

• Facilitation of adoption of ADMA by European firms, especially SMEs

Facilitation and adoption of ADMA

Contribute to the modernisation of the EU industry through the integration of ADMA technologies

Involve as many as possible SMEs and as many as possible industrial sectors

Promote the introduction of smart/flexible manufacturing concept (compared to linear production)

Objectives

Page 6: EU efforts aimed to facilitate and accelerate the adoption of Advanced Manufacturing in Europe Dr Nikos Pantalos, European Commission ENTR-B3 Innovation.

Areas for action

Analyse how ADMA is used by EU firms (studies, collection of new data, observatory)

Improve the framework conditions for the adoption of ADMA (barriers)

Coordination with Member States and EU Regions (policies and actions)

Integrate more support measures into H2020 for adopting ADMA + reinforce technology transfer activities on ADMA (EEN)

Raise awareness about the benefits and implications + work on the readiness of SMEs

Task Force on Advanced Manufacturing
