Meet BEMO-COFRA at ICT 2013 Conference & Exhibition in Vilnius from Wednesday 6th to Friday 8th November: At a joint booth with the ebbits project, we demonstrate how the Internet of Things transforms manufacturing processes.

Is there a clear ICT objective and is it relevant to one or several of the challenges or actions of Horizon 2020 or EU ICT policies, notably the Digital Agenda and the Innovation Union?

Energy efficiency is a key driver for increasing manufacturer’s competitiveness. Optimizing energy consumption depends on detailed data such as the consumption of individual machines in each manufacturing process step. Fraunhofer FIT developed such a system based on a service-oriented architecture b...

On the 12 and 13 April 2012, the Brazilian partners visited the Fiat production plant in Betim, Minas Gerais, Brazil, to learn more about the complex automotive industry.

Of particular interest was the car manufacturing line and its automated processing stages, which were described and demonstrated by the staff working on the production line and the Line Manager. The BEMO-COFRA partners were thus able to study the main components of the manufacturing process and the interaction between them. These observations will be used to feed into the project’s work in developing an infrastructure for monitoring different devices through wireless links.

Workshop on Brazil-EU cooperation in ICT Research and Development

After the opening speeches, the project representatives from Europe and Brazil each received a certificate symbolising the recognition of the projects’ contribution to a fruitful Brazil-EU collaboration today and in the future. The rest of the morning session was dedicated to joint presentations of the five projects which were very different in terms of scope, aims and objectives.

In the afternoon session, the four topics for future joint collaboration were presented by other invited external experts. The four topics were: Cloud Computing Science, Sustainable technologies for Smart Cities, Smart platforms for a smarter society, and Hybrid Broadcast-Broadband TV applications and services. The presentations were followed by a long and quite intense discussion in order to further refine the definition of the topics. This was an important exercise because it actually allowed the workshop participants to not only validate but also influence the wording of the topics and their scope for the 2nd Coordinated Call which were to be formally agreed upon by EU and Brazilian officials the following day.

BEMO-COFRA was represented by Djamel Sadok (UPFE), Markus Taumberger (VTT) and Trine F. Sørensen (In-JeT). The workshop had around 60 participants representing companies and universities from different EU countries and different states in Brazil as well as representatives from the Brazilian Ministry of External Relation and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
