Manufacturing Technology Platform (MTP)
THEME [FoF.NMP.2012-1]
“Adaptive production systems and measurement and control
equipment for optimal energy consumption and near-to-zero
emissions in manufacturing processes”.
GOAL
To develop and demonstrate a package of integrated solutions for different
energy intensive processes (ceramics, cement and glass), based on tuning
alternative firing technologies to the material characteristics and on smart
control systems, to provide real time information about the energy
consumption as well as the product quality.

Initiative Title:
Development of adaptive ProductioN systems for Eco-efficient firing Processes.
DAPhNE_FP7-314636 Porject
1.1 R&D Objectives
The overall scope of the DAPhNE project is to develop and demonstrate a package of
integrated solutions for different energy intensive processes (ceramics, cement and
glass), based on tuning alternative firing technologies to the material characteristics and
on smart control systems, to provide real time information about the energy consumption
as well as the product quality.
1.2 Overview of the Initiative
Many High temperature alternative heating techniques has not been implemented as a
full-scale industrial-process. The DAPhNE project brings together three manufacturing
sectors (ceramic, glass and cement) with common problems in relation to the energy
consumption of their firing processes, seeking common solutions via the implementation
of high temperature alternative technologies based on smart control and monitoring
systems.
DAPhNE will contribute to transform the traditional manufacturing of energy-intensive
demand commodities, which is based on consumption of fossil fuels with low control
process capacity, into a completely new concept of flexible, modular, re-configurable,
smart and digital factory concept based on:

•Smart control of high temperature alternative processes

•Smart control of production lines that incorporate the above proposed
alternative solutions, capable of maximizing autonomy and interaction capability
with existing machinery and ensuring reuse of existing infrastructures.

1.3 Planned Work, Resources and Timing
1. Control and monitoring methodologies.
Development of new control and monitoring methodologies for the automatic control of
the alternative firing technologies during the process.
2. Smart energy control and monitoring solutions.
Development of electrical and thermal energy control and real time monitoring solutions
for plugging-in the alternative firing systems to the existing processes, to ensure
minimization of energy consumption.
3. Coupling MW with materials.
Adaptation and coupling of high temperature alternative firing systems treatment systems
solutions to each intended product.
4. Development of process manufacturing modules.
Development of adaptive, modular, process modules in manufacturing processes of mass
commodity products.
5. KPI’s.
Definition of KPIs for each system, process and material based on monitoring data from
demonstration, on the developed parameter database, as well as on extended LCA.
6. Business models.
Development of techno-economic, market and business models ensuring economyecology and sustainability to accelerate the short term and wide spread implementation
of the technological developments in the production chain of the selected industries.
