The project is a so called Cross-Knowledge Innovation Community (Cross-KIC) project named “end-to-end digitalised production testbeds”, led by EIT Manufacturing and featuring EIT RawMaterials and EIT Digital. Its goal: To evaluate the current state of digitalisation in the raw material sector within the field of E-Drives, to identify high potential areas for digitalisation-driven improvements, and to derive suitable use-cases. The development and implementation of digitalisation testbeds shall therefore address the industry’s most pressing manufacturing and processing challenges in the following focus points: - Improve part design for recycling, re-use & prolonged lifetime. -Increase the recycling rate for critical materials from End-of-life (EOL) products. - Improve of the supply chain for EOL products. Open call for proposals The project on testbeds started already in 2020. So far, the project has resulted in a comprehensive study assessing the maturity of digitalisation and use of artificial intelligence in the food and manufacturing industry. The project has also developed strategic objectives, use-cases, and concepts for digitalised testbeds, in close cooperation with 15 partners which are currents being implemented throughout different European countries for the food sector tackling waste and loss of food during manufacturing processes. Based on this preliminary work, the Knowledge Innovation Communities (KICs) are now launching an open call for applications, to support eligible consortia in implementing their vision for end-to-end digitalised raw material production testbeds: - Up to EUR 2.915 million (including 30% co-funding) will be made available to implement 2-4 testbed environments in 2021. - The window for applications will be open from September 1st to November 12th, 2021 – 2 p.m. (CET). - Q&A session & matchmaking event on 15th September. - Proposal selection will be finished till 6th December. - Start of testbed implementation is planned for Q1/2022. All information & Forms on our EIT Website à Open Call - Testbeds 2022 Applications need to make use of the prepared Proposal Template and be send in time to the following email address: digitaltestbeds@eitmanufacturing.eu. More information needed? For more information on the project, the open call, and a chance to clarify questions, the KICs will organise a virtual information event on September 15th, 2021 at 2 pm (CET). Also included in this will be a matchmaking or brainstorming dependent on the need of the participants.
