Automation of end-to-end and circular processes - Part 1

The vision paper emphasizes the optimization and expansion of existing end-to-end business processes, across all manufacturing system levels and value chains. This strategy seeks to foster a competitive and sustainable manufacturing sector in Europe that masters critical technologies while simultaneously reducing
dependencies on material resources and energy, aiming to:
▪ boost industrial manufacturing productivity while lowering costs
▪ react and adapt rapidly to market changes
▪ achieve a high degree of resource efficiency
▪ shorten the time-to-market of manufacturing sustainable products and solutions, particularly in lowvolume or highly personalized production at scale
▪ assure the physical and cognitive augmentation of humans
▪ optimise product performance, durability and circularity
