Purpose and goal
The purpose and goals of the SUMMIT project are met and exceeded, benefit the industry in the form of higher OEE (Preventive maintenance and more efficient design of factories), lower emissions (Less travel needs for factory design, and lower emissions from factories due to better design and maintenance) and better work environment (more inclusive design of factories) can already be seen in the demonstrators made in industrial environments.
Expected results and effects
SUMMIT testbed has already generated effects in industrial environments, and more are expected. Mid-term effect expected are more Socially sustainable and attractive work-places, OEE above 85%, higher operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact, prescriptive maintenance solutions developed and used in industry. Long-term effect expected are more resource efficient production systems applying eco-efficiency and circularity principles with zero-impact or net-positive effects on the environment and zero-failure production systems and OEE above 90%.
Planned approach and implementation
SUMMIT had 21 partners active through the project and several demonstrators developments was carried out in parallel where large meetings were arranged about once every six months to keep the entire group together. Most demonstrators in the test bed were carried out with 3-4 partners active per task as main actors where both universities / institutes, manufacturing companies and consultants collaborated to ensure good results and high industrial benefits.
