Enabling the smart and sovereign use of data in manufacturing Hungary

The Austrian-German lighthouse project EuProGigant (“European Production Giganet for calamity avoiding self-orchestration of value chain and learning ecosystems“) aims at building a multi-location, digitally networked production ecosystem with the goal of advancing a resilient, data-driven and sustainable industry in Europe. The project was started in 2021 and will continue until 2025. In alignment with the principles of Gaia-X, EuProGigant addresses three central research questions:

How can…
·…value chains be made resilient to market changes and capable of a large number
of variants?
·…interdependencies between stages in the value creation process be recognised
and used to increase economic efficiency?
·…we design platforms for production systems that are both responsive and
universal?

The project wants to combine existing technologies and build a Gaia-X demonstrator in manufacturing with concrete use cases. For these use cases, the project will develop innovative, data-driven business models according to Gaia-X as a best practice example for Europe. The economic application of the business models will be pursued during the duration of the project. 16 Austrian and German project partners are involved with the execution, development, and implementation of the project. The leading project partners are the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany and the Pilot Factory Industry 4.0 of the Technical University of Vienna in Austria.
