EU industry is susceptible to constantly changing socioeconomic forces and disruptions from around the world, in combination with rapid product and technological transformation. An EU initiative introduced technological solutions to support the European manufacturing industry in coping with such events.
Thanks to EU funding, the ROBUSTPLANET (Shock-robust design of plants and their supply chain networks) project developed technology-based business approaches in opportunistic maintenance, factory-level robust production planning and scheduling, assembly line and supply chain network reconfiguration, and mechatronic component remanufacturing.
