Project Vision CLOUDLOG vision is to develop and implement holistic cloud based manufacturing solutions covering the whole value chain to support customer driven production from design to delivery and end of life in a global manufacturing network. CLOUDLOG will be based on co-creative design, collaborative manufacturing and integrated logistics principles, and will look at how 3D printing can contribute to re-shoring of production and reduced environmental impact. CLOUDLOG Focuses on developing a robust, cost efficient, secure, and extensible cloud based Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) ICT platform for B2B collaborative manufacturing and B2C demand when it comes to low volume, high quality and customized products. It will build upon the recent advances in Factories of the Future projects (e.g. MANCLOUD, MSEE, imadit, FLEXINET, GLONET, Comvantage, Actionplant and Plantcockpit) and take them to the next level of performance, security, dependability, and cost-efficiency. CLOUDLOG emphasis on integrating Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies that allow efficient and sustainable use of materials for building complex geometries, with the rest of the manufacturing ecosystem by means of IoT and Cloud.
