(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Helping European SMEs to increase productivity and enhance competitiveness in a
global framework
Paris, Madrid, 13th April 2017 - Atos, a global leader in digital
transformation, leads the 'Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks' (C2NET)
consortium, launching the first collaborative Cloud-based platform for SMEs
(Small and Medium Enterprises) in the manufacturing industry. This unique
solution offers SMEs a single and affordable Cloud-supported platform, which has
until now not existed. The project is funded by the European Union as part of
the Horizon 2020 program and is made up of twenty partners including industrial
entities, associations, research centers, ICT companies and public institutions.
C2NETsupports SMEs to optimize their manufacturing and logistic supply chains by
reducing the complexity currently surrounding manufacturing management systems.
It offers a platform on which products, processes and logistical data can be
securely stored and shared in the Cloud.
Business benefits include:
* Access to data analytics in real-time - enabling businesses to respond
faster and more efficiently
* Ease of access to supply chain management information, wherever and whenever
- from any mobile device (including PC, tablet, smartphone)
* An easy and secure system to collaborate and share of best practice to
increase productivity and enhance competiveness
The project covers:
* The creation of a data collection environment - the C2NET Data Collection
Framework - for IoT-based continuous data capture from supply network
resources.
* Collaboration Tools - to provide support to the collaborative processes of
the supply network.
* Cloud Platform - to integrate the data module, the optimizers and the
collaborative tools in the Cloud.
* The Optimizers - to optimize the manufacturing and logistics assets in the
supply network
In addition to leading the consortium, Atos actively participates in the design
and implementation of the C2NET platform, coordinating the implementation of the
pilot projects and designing the business models.
Concept demo
The results of C2NET will be shown in real-life scenarios through four pilots
that will allow supply network partners to share assets and information via the
Cloud, collaborate on production and delivery plans across the supply network
and provide decision-makers with data analytics in real-time.
Four pilots have been developed:
* Automotive: To automate and encourage collaborative planning, data
collection and sharing of information.
* Dermo-cosmetics: To develop more collaborative, agile and distributed
planning processes.
* SMEs Industrial Park. To manage logistic flow and resources more
efficiently.
* Hydraulic & Lubrication: To provide suppliers and customers with a
centralized hub of information, accessible from anywhere, which enables
forecasting, identifies supplier delays, and checks delivery status.
