Smart, SME Friendly, open, Zero-Defect Manufacturing Reference Platform, Apps, SDK, and Marketplace for Product and Process Quality in any factory for achieving excellence in European and Global Manufacturing The ZDMP project combines state of the art technological approaches based on commercial grade standard or open-source or previous-project software with an innovative integration concept based on proven and integrating technologies. It provides Process and Product Quality support on top of a platform layer. These all can utilise ZDMP core services which can also be used to build ZD Apps which are placed on the ZD Marketplace. The ultimate aim is to establish a sustainable business and technological approach at the end of the project and launch “ZDMP Limited” assisted by the possibility of a crowdsourcing approach and ZDMP ambassadors. ZDMPs pan-European consortium entails ICT Technology SMEs (ICE, ASC, SOFT), Manufacturing/ZD Technology SMEs (PROF, CET, VSYS), Technology Corporates (SAG, Scale Focus), 4 Sector and Cross-Domain Use cases (14 Partners SME/Large from Automotive, Machine Tools, Construction, Electronics), Researchers/Associations (IKERLAN, ITI, UNINOVA, TUT, and UPV), specialists (DIN – German Standards, Rooter – Regulation, UOS-ITI – Call Management). ZDMP also is supported by the Coordinating partners of FOF projects CREMA, vf-OS, and C2NET.

The goal of C2NET Project is the creation of cloud-enabled tools for supporting the supply network optimization of manufacturing and logistic assets based on collaborative demand, production and delivery plans. C2NET Project will provide a scalable real-time architecture, platform and software to allow the supply network partners: to master complexity and data security of the supply network, to store product, process and logistic data, to optimize the manufacturing assets by the collaborative computation of production plans, to optimize the logistics assets through efficient delivery plans and to render the complete set of supply chain management information on the any digital mobile device (PC, tablets, smartphones, …) of decision makers enabling them to monitor, visualize, control, share and collaborate. The Project results will be: i) the C2NET Data Collection Framework for IoT-based continuous data collection from supply network resources; ii) the C2NET Optimizer for the optimization of manufacturing and logistics assets of the supply network by the collaborative computation of production, replenishment and delivery plans; iii) the C2NET Collaboration Tools for providing support to the collaborative processes of the supply network, and iv) the C2NET Cloud Platform (C2NET CPL) to integrate the data module, the optimizers and the collaborative tools in the cloud. C2NET will be designed to comprehensively cover the entire supply chain considering all stages of manufacturing, distribution and sales to supply a product to market. Different actors in the supply network as plant managers, planners, carriers, shop floor workers, shop assistants or customers are potential users of the services that will be offered by C2NET. A distinguishing feature of these services is to have complete visibility and real-time status of the entire supply chain at all times looking for an optimal response to maximize both local and global benefit
