Optimum integration of automation systems for more flexible manufacturing
The ITEA 2 CREATE project was a response to the increasingly dynamic nature of production systems and the need for more precise and knowledge-based manufacturing so that costs, time, errors and reprogramming efforts could be reduced and the integration of innovative technologies with legacy components facilitated. CREATE defined a novel architecture for industrial automation systems, implemented it in demonstrators and showed the benefits of its application in three use cases in the industrial automation domain.
