Scalable automation for flexible production systems
INESC TEC is the coordinator of the ScalABLE 4.0, a European H2020 project within the Factories of the Future scope, which intends to develop scalable production systems. The project assumes a transversal approach that includes the use of integrated collaborative robotics with production management and simulation systems, in order to dynamically adapt the automation levels to the production needs. ScalABLE 4.0 seeks to integrate robots and factory floor equipment with high-level management, creating highly flexible factories.
