ONE4ALL aims to boost manufacturing plants’ transformation, especially SMEs, towards industry 5.0 (I5.0), reinforcing their resilience under unexpected changes in social needs. It is done through a human-and-sustainability-centred development of plug-and-produce reconfigurable cyber-physical production modules (RCPMs).

ONE4ALL aims to boost manufacturing plants’ transformation, especially SMEs, towards industry 5.0 (I5.0), reinforcing their resilience under unexpected changes in social needs. It is done through a human-and-sustainability-centred development of plug-and-produce reconfigurable cyber-physical production modules (RCPMs). Those will consist of self-reconfigurable mobile collaborative robots embedded with IIOT devices for real-time monitorisation and interconnectivity. In addition, the physical modules and the processes addressed by those will be replicated digitally through data-driven digital twins and controlled by a self-learning AI-based distributed and multidisciplinary decision support system (DSS). In addition, the open-source approaches will be promoted throughout the
whole project to ease the interoperability of the components. All in all, interconnected and efficiently managed by an intelligent orchestration platform, with defined modules interfaces for the RCPM, production, product quality, sustainability aspects, business model, DSS and help desk to involve the end-user in everything that is going on across the whole supply chain, improve the understanding and assess the decision making. An adaptive training programme for digital upskilling will be implemented over the entire project to prepare the workforce for the I5.0 transformation and fully exploit the potential of the technologies. The resilience of
manufacturing operations will be enhanced by better anticipating the demand changes and providing more flexibility to act, thanks to the digital tools and modular and flexible structure integrated within the whole system. The potential of ONE4ALL will be demonstrated in two relevant environments from different sectors (agri-food and pharmaceutical), both highly affected by disruption given their high and fluctuant demand and not fully impacted yet by I5.0 transformations. Consequently, it is expected to have a high impact and replicability opportunities.

ONE4ALL aims to reinforce the resilience and flexibility of the manufacturing lines through innovative modular and reconfigurable technologies centred on humans and sustainability. Once covered the technological part, the next step is to ease the integration and understanding among the end-users, promoting open-source protocols and humans’ safety and upskilling.
ONE4ALL will ensure through a 4-stage methodology a smooth and efficient evolution from TRL4 to TRL6 with clear checkpoints within 4 years. Stage 0 focuses on team alignment, technical scouting and planning, stage 1 includes development of the innovative solutions proposed, stage 2 involves a pre-industrial validation in a relevant environment, stage 3 the installation of ONE4ALL technologies in end-users’ facilities for their demonstration and stage 4 includes the demonstration in relevant environments
This will be done within the following work packages (WPs):
WP1: Human and sustainability impact assessment
WP2: Data-driven digital twins
WP3: Intelligent orchestration platform
WP4: Innovative reconfigurable cyber-physical production module (RCPM)
WP5: Demonstration activities and evaluation
WP6: Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication
WP7: Management and Coordination
