The Vision of Manufuture The World Champion in Manufacturing: all Resources for manufacturing • Factories made in Europe.... • Engineering • Engineering tools • Planning • Planning tools • Machines • Automation • Systems • Equipment (tools...) • Control systems • Methods • Process-Models • Management • Services: Training, Finance.. • ....over the life cycle ...enable Platforms of Manufacturing • Factories made in Europe with European Manufacturing Standards • ....the R&D Focus on • Adaptive • Digital • Networked • Knowledge based • High Performance • New Taylor • ... with R&D Networks • Virtual Research labs • Basic Research • Application oriented Research • Regional Centers CIAM-MBB-Augsburg 1980

3. The road to Europe‘s Future in Industrial Technologies Advanced Materials Enabling Technologies High Performance Processes Intelligent Products, Mechatronic Systems and Artefacts Digital Design and Engineering: knowledge-based tools Manufacturing Process-technologies: high performance Research Infrastructure Manufacturing Platform Education Eur. Platform of Competence: growth, employment, sustainability

5. MANUFUTURE PLATFORM The High Level Group - About 45 members to ensure effectiveness - Mandate of 2 years (2005-2006) - Representatives from: • the « old » HLG members to ensure continuity • Industry /Research Centers /Academia • ETPs • National Manufuture Initiatives • Trade Unions and NGOs • Mirror Group (3 as observers)

6. MANUFUTURE PLATFORM The Working Groups • WG 1 – „Technologies beyond Existing Borders“ (Prof. Westkämper, G) • WG 2 – „Innovating Production“ (Prof. Westkämper, G) • WG 3 – “Manufacturing Engineering” (Prof. Jovane, I) • WG 4 – “New Business Models” (Prof. Williams, GB) • WG 5 – “Transformation of Research and Education” (Dr. Bueno, E) • HG 6 – “Snapshot of Manufacturing in Europe” • HG 7 – “Role of SMEs” • HG 8 – “Alignment with ETPs and with national/regional initiatives" (D. Richet, F)

8. MANUFUTURE PLATFORMNext Steps • < Mar 2005: 1st meetings of the Working Groups • Jun 2005: 2nd meeting of the High Level Group – Presentation of the DRAFT of the SRA and inputs for the Implementation Plans(national based/industrial sector based) • Sep 2005:Press conference at EMO Exhibition in Hanover (D): public presentation of the SRA • Nov 2005:Plenary session with the participation of Commissioner J. Potočnik and/or G. Verheugen: Adoption of the SRA and presentation of the Implementation Plans • Dec 2005: Manufuture 2005 conference in UK

9. MANUFUTURE PLATFORM At the service of the other ETPs Manufuture is at the service of other ETPs • Manufuture customers are theother ETPs, and Manufuture is ready to serve their needs • Manufuturewill support and develop the necessary technologies for the manufacture of their (ETPs) high added-value products • For Manufuture, alignment with the ETPs and national/ regional initiatives is crucial. For this purpose, a Horizontal Group (HG) has been established

10. Role of the Horizontal Group Help to structure manufacturing approach in all the TPs. Stimulate the consideration of new manufacturing concepts within TPs. Help to fill the gap between product and process R&D challenges. Propose the pooling of R&D needs from the different TPs. Seen as "supplier TP" by the other TPs MANUFUTURE PLATFORM At the service of the other ETPs Proposal for an exchange workshop on manufacturing challenges in Brussels between TPs : July 19, 2005.
