OPTIMAI played an active role in the the Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) workshop that was held in Brussels, Belgium on 23 November 2022. The hybrid workshop was co-organised by IDEKO, SINTEF, Politecnico di Milano and Carr Communications.
OPTIMAI was represented in person by Christina Tsita from CERTH/ITI and Linda Henriksson and Claudia Esposito from Carr Communications.
The objectives of the workshop were:
• Quick update of running ZDM projects around digital transformation (digital platforms, AI, data analytics, blockchain) and new ZDM projects around green transformation (zero waste, circularity).
• Initial interaction among running clusters (predictive maintenance, AI for manufacturing)
• Open discussion on ZDM opportunities at 2nd part of HE (2025-2027) and beyond HE.
The event ran from 9.00 to 12:15 CET at the Bluepoint building, Bd Auguste Reyers 80, Brussels, and there was also a remote connection link for remote participants.
Christina Tsita (CERTH/ITI) discussed the progress made within OPTIMAI in a video interview – stay tuned and keep an eye on the OPTIMAI YouTube channel where the interview will be released shortly.
Christina’s presentation is available to view and download here.
You can access all the workshop presentations through the joint 4ZDM website here.
