Manufacturing as a Service

A solution such as MaaS (Manufacturing as a Service) allows companies direct access to resources and know-how through the use of technology that builds a network of contacts around them, useful in the supply of equipment, services and structures . The goal is to be able to create a flexible and scalable ecosystem, in line with market needs and ready to adapt to changes.

The M4estro project

In the field of research and development, the European project M4estro (G.A. 101138506) aims to develop a platform that has the specific purpose of bringing together manufacturing actors in a collaborative system in which the exchange of information, services and knowledge is possible , in order to bring processes to a high level of efficiency.

Data sharing in the platform

Holonix, within the European project, works on the collection of data from the field, on their monitoring and historicization; furthermore, it studies the integration and interoperability of data and the management of assets/devices and field applications. All this will be validated in three different pilot cases. The support of i-Live Machines, a platform already on the market, is fundamental.

Data Space applied to manufacturing

In addition to its core product, Holonix brings its IDS skills to the project, specifically its know-how regarding the “Data Space infrastructure”, the new tool, compliant with the Data Act, for exchanging data between companies. Machinery-X, the Data Space launched together with UCIMU during the BI-MU 2024 fair is an example of this.
