IM4I – Digital Reality in Zero-Defect Manufacturing

Qu4lity is the biggest European project dedicated to Autonomous Qu4lity (AQ) and Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) in the scope of Industry 4.0. Qu4lity aims, in the most realistic, measurable, and replicable way, to demonstrate a transformative and SME-friendly data-driven ZDM product and service model for Factories 4.0. Qu4lity has 14 pilot lines and with those, it will demonstrate how European Industry can build unique and very tailored ZDM strategies to help companies to achieve greater success with a quality model that will meet Industry 4.0 ZDM Qu4lity is a European project co-funded by Horizon 2020 under the Framework Programme of the European Union.

Demand for higher quality products, both from an environmental and socio-economical point of view, demands from companies a system that ensures that their products are delivered to their client and will meet their higher expectations. So, with the advancement of Big Data processing tools or even Artificial Intelligence coming towards what factories require, there is more space to create real solutions to real problems.

It is possible at this point to create intelligent solutions that are for example capable of predicting the different consumptions according to the different stages of the production environment. This is the area the IM4I is focusing its development. The project aims to develop a solution that will integrate the platform RAILES which offers the capacity to collect data from the shop floor, analyze the data through the tools provided by the integration of RAILES and the QU4LITY platform, to give to the operator that interacts with the machines the most information about what happening and eventually what will happen with future products.
