Research Project

ENTOC

Engineering tool chain for efficient and iterative development of smart factories

Engineering tool chain for efficient and iterative development of smart factories

ENTOC focused on the engineering of smart factories in domains such as automotive body shops, final assembly and machine building. The goal was to develop standardised modelling strategies and to optimise the engineering tool chain for complex production plants. ENTOC built on the results of AVANTI and received the ITEA Award of Excellence for Innovation in 2020.
