Background
The industrial world has been undergoing innumerable radical developments, often difficult, yet of utmost importance, to keep pace with. From human manufacturing processes to industrial digitalisation and the introduction of robots, productivity has raised to previously unconceivable heights, becoming elaborated down to the tiniest detail and entailing deep understanding in complex manufacturing products. Indicatively, in the area of Electronic Components and Systems (ECS), trends have been long associated to exploiting the digital transformation in creating new device processing and characterization techniques. These approaches do greatly improve the performance of the electronic devices, and novel devices will further improve the level of human life as they have done before. And the success story of the European industry is far from being over. All in all, based on the shoulders of Industry4.0, the 5th industrial revolution is at the gates, paving the way to Industry5.0 and beyond. However, a number of overarching challenges are yet to be confronted, in order to strengthen the European green production landscape and to enable more digital sovereignty of the European industry.
Importance
AIMS5.0 is a highly ambitious project that plans to constitute the point of reference for realizing sustainable production, fostering the adoption of AI as an integrated approach in all phases of manufacturing value chains in 9 industrial domains. In essence, AIMS5.0 will deliver:
- AI-enabled electronic hardware components & systems for sustainable production.
- AI tools, methods & algorithms for sustainable industrial processes
- SoS-based architectures & micro-services for AI-supported sustainable production
- Semantic modelling & data integration for an open access productive sustainability platform
AIMS5.0 will provide the basis for the digital society in Europe based on values, moving towards the ideal of Society 5.0.
