AI-COMPETE: Coordinated Multi-Agent AI-Powered Decision Support System for Sustainable Manufacturing

Purpose and goal

The purpose of AI-COMPETE is to develop an AI-powered decision support system that enables manufacturing companies to remain productive while reducing their environmental footprint and adapting to changing energy markets. The project goal is to address the urgent need for solutions that combine operational efficiency, sustainability, and flexibility in Swedish manufacturing.

Expected effects and result

AI-COMPETE will deliver an AI-powered decision support platform that combines coordinated agents, green production scheduling, and digital twin optimization. This platform will help factories increase productivity and reduce energy use. The expected effects include lower environmental impact, greater flexibility in handling volatile energy markets, and strengthened competitiveness of Swedish manufacturing in the transition toward climate-neutral production.

Planned approach and implementation

AI-COMPETE follows a stepwise approach combining research, development, and industrial validation. The project focuses on: •Multi-agent AI systems for coordinated production decisions, •Green production scheduling aligned with renewable energy availability, and •Digital twin models to test and optimize strategies before implementation. Solutions are co-developed and tested with industrial partners to ensure scalability, practicality, and impact on productivity and sustainability.
