KYKLOS4.0 aims at providing an ecosystem that creates and supports the configurations, methodologies, production techniques, decisions and actions at different levels and stages of the equipment manufacturing value chain to achieve the goals of:

(1) increased energy efficiency;
(2) reduction of raw material through to the second use of parts or material;
(3) customer centricity;
(4) on-demand manufacturing to best meet the Industry 4.0 objectives of operational excellence. KYKLOS4.0 will deliver an advanced configuration framework and state-of-the-art production paradigm, embedding key technologies into a unified platform ecosystem to manage live product innovation.

This involves a set of intelligent tools for real-time analytics and prediction, and recommender systems, further integrated into the KYKLOS4.0 configuration environment.
KYKLOS 4.0 – Open Call #2 invites proposals for the development of an innovative solution(s) for a manufacturing scenario in which they will have to carry out a pilot experiment in a manufacturing environment. The defined scenario must be addressed by developing a solution that adopts one or more services selected from the KYKLOS 4.0 platform, which should be integrated and validated as part of the defined experiment. Proposed solutions should demonstrate a high innovation potential and be ready to explore commercialisation opportunities by the end of the experiment period.

The open call will prioritise the proposals that are able to demonstrate the impact of the KYKLOS 4.0 approach for a broad set of industrial users. Furthermore, proposals should clearly demonstrate the role of the circular manufacturing and economy within their experiments.
