An Extract of the interest area is as follows:
Collaborative and mobile manufacturing:
– Development of agile collaboration tools for process optimisation of manufacturing assets across the supply chain towards
the Cloud-enabled Manufacturing Business Web.
– Research should address scalable real-time architectures to master complexity and data security of the supply network
and underlying logistics resources. In an integrated approach focusing on end-to-end integration of the entire
manufacturing processes and the supply networks
– Research issues to be addressed include:
– IoT-based continuous data collection from real-world resources
– Resource virtualisation
– Real-time, modular architectures for interoperability of intra plant and extra plant processes in conjunction with
mobile, collaborative tools for data sharing, data analytics and knowledge-based systems, at factory and at supply
network level.
– The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 5 and 8 million would
allow this area to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals
requesting other amounts.

Topic FoF-2014.1.a_R&I
Title: UPLINK (Universal Platform for LeveragIng Network Knowledge)
Collaborative and mobile manufacturing
Objectives:
• The project proposal idea is:
o to create a vertical paradigm (a platform of platforms analogy)
o to link from top level ERP systems right the way down the shop floor
o to integrate Smart objects at various horizontal layers by connecting MES, OPC and
I/O bus systems, such as PROFINET, SERCOS, DeviceNet, via Web-Services.
Expected Results:
• A clear visualisation system will be incorporated for the human counterparts to
indicate the data and process flows.
• Scalable CPS architectures for adaptive & smart manufacturing systems to
dynamically enable the continuous design, configuration, monitoring and
maintenance of:
Operational capability
o Quality and efficiency of data
o Information flows

Project Proposal Idea (1)
•
•
•
•
•
The Project Proposal idea is to create a vertical paradigm (a platform of platforms analogy) to link
from top level ERP type systems right the way down to Smart objects by connecting to the
various horizontal layers for standard and recognised MES, OPC and I/O bus systems such as
PROFINET, SERCOS, DeviceNet etc via Web-Services.
A vision of Future Global Manufacturing has challenges of lead time and cost whilst maintaining
high quality. This includes resources located globally to meet a specific manufacturing order.
Closed loop systems within smart work centres across many platforms require interaction with
each other in a flexible and interactive way utilising advanced control and new modelling and
simulation technologies.
CPS-based process optimisation for adaptive and smart manufacturing systems, through a
strategy or framework, is needed to understand the complexities of these interactions with other
stakeholders in differing locations with smart logistics capabilities.
Methods for integrative control and robust optimization of discrete and continuous processes
supporting engineers in their aim of detecting, measuring and monitoring the variables, events
and situations which affect the performance, energy-use and reliability of manufacturing systems.

Project Proposal Idea (2)

Existing mechanisms need to be integrated into the real time negotiations of creating the supply
network and subsequently monitoring for efficiencies and perturbations (breakdowns).
Collaboration cyberspaces will be needed for optimisation of routing of all data between
stakeholder resources to eliminate or drastically reduce delivery constraints. Previously used
assumptions in manufacturing lines and supply chains will be challenged, especially the concept
of fully defined resource planning.
The approach will incorporate an Open Vertical Paradigm (OVP), open receptors and restful web
interfacing to allow an agile extensible support for legacy system connectivity.
Alongside legacy systems, all the current and future technologies in smart sensor technologies,
smart system design, embedded systems, cognitive technologies and advanced control will be
incorporated and considered in the scope of the framework.
A clear visualisation system will be incorporated for the human counterparts to indicate the data
and process flows. Scalable CPS architectures for adaptive and smart manufacturing systems to
dynamically enable the continuous design, configuration, monitoring and maintenance of
operational capability, quality, and efficiency.

Project Proposal Idea (3)

Self-learning systems with feedback loops between production and design will be included.
UPLINK will simplify the complexities of the multidimensional dataflow and highlight the
bottlenecks, breakdowns and constraints present in the ecosystem through scalable real-time
architectures to master complexity and data security of the supply network and underlying
logistics resources.
UPLINK will provide an integrated approach focusing on end-to-end integration of the entire
manufacturing processes and the supply networks, research issues to be addressed include: IoTbased continuous data collection from real-world resources, resource virtualisation, real-time,
modular architectures for interoperability of intra plant and extra plant processes.
Mobile, collaborative tools for data sharing, data analytics and knowledge-based systems, at
factory and at supply network level.
Development of agile collaboration tools for process optimisation of manufacturing assets across
the supply chain towards the Cloud-enabled Manufacturing Business Web will provide supply
chain data and having a visualisation on the complete information flow will provide the
confidence that the system is working as optimally as possible.
