Digital Industry
Through our research project, we are moving the digital factory towards a new model of flexibility and human-robot collaboration.
Approach & Solution
Approach
Production plant flexibility, scalability, modularity and the reconfigurability are now essential elements in adapting production processes for short product life cycles and their growing customization.
To meet such requirements, it is not enough to rely solely on specific technologies; they need to be integrated with manual human activity, which remains the most flexible company resource.
The ICOSAF project is based on a model in which human-factory interaction is integrated with leading-edge technologies and skills to ensure greater reconfigurability and cooperation.

Solution
The aim is to create a flexible and cooperative factory that meets its productivity needs.
In particular, we are:
- Defining a distributed data management (edge vs. cloud) for monitoring product/process quality by processing data from diverse sources.
- Facilitating digital services and related validation models.
- Deploying cognitive analysis for the development of advanced HMIs.
