Resilient Rapid Reconfigurable Production Process Chains

About the project

R3GROUP will deploy reconfiguration strategies integrating technological, social and economic innovations that will enable to build a digital reference architecture and tools for resilient production in compliance with standardized Industry 4.0 interfaces and protocols.

Purpose of the project

The general objective of R3GROUP is to develop and demonstrate resilience strategies for reconfiguration in different manufacturing sectors.

Societal impact

R3GROUP’s new technologies and reconfiguration strategies, will support adaptable and flexible manufacturing, enabling easy adjustments to changes in technology, market demands, and supply chain issues making industries more competitive and resilient.

Main results & insights

  • Development of secure, standardized digital architectures supporting horizontal and vertical interoperability.
  • Digital tools supporting efficient design space exploration and evaluation of reconfiguration impact on quality, time and cost.
  • Tools to support rapid production requalification.
  • Novel technologies under a human-centred perspective to facilitate their democratization.
  • Strategies to provide awareness and early detection of reconfiguration needs, and
  • solutions to enhance the flexibility of complex intralogistics of production lines.
