MATILDA: Industry 4.0 Smart Factory

This vertical application addresses scenarios in and in between manufacturing facilities. MATILDA addresses inter-enterprise integration. Main challenges are caused by multiple stakeholders (OEMs, suppliers, logistics service providers) all of which are running different technologies and management solutions which have to be smoothly interconnected. Collaborative manufacturing production is addressed (e.g. tracking, process/product co-designing, task planning), which relies on process data from suppliers of raw material, from production/assembly as well as from logistics service providers. MATILDA also covers intra-enterprise integration. An assembly chain scenario will be considered, where interconnection provides for the different machinery collaborative working on manufacturing goods such as cars.

In terms of ITU 5G functionalities, MATILDA investigates: 

• End to end orchestration mechanisms.
