COGNIMAN - The way to smart manufacturing

Manufacturing processes like glass fibre production, precision machining, additive manufacturing and high-temperature metal production are difficult to automate: Tasks are complex, and cannot be fully controlled. The EU project COGNIMAN aims at solving this and making manufacturers more productive, efficient, flexible as well as sustainable. 16 partners from six countries develop a novel concept of “digital cognitive smart manufacturing”. COGNIMAN stands for “COGNitive Industries for smart MANufacturing“.
Solving four concrete use cases on the way, the outcome of the project will be human-centric modular toolboxes that can be adapted to substitute a range of manual manufacturing processes. The toolboxes will integrate key technologies such as simulations, digital twins, advanced sensors, machine learning and cognitive robotics.
