Deadline: 15 January 2024
AIRISE aims to conduct so called “experiments” to support European SME’s and mid-caps to develop their idea of using artificial intelligence at their manufacturing shop floor.
The AIRISE project provides support through services across all development steps from the idea to running test under realistic manufacturing conditions. These services are meant to teach and guide the applicants under the paradigm of empowerment. They shall enable the applicants to grow, to learn how to tackle future challenges with less support. The initiative runs under the umbrella of European Commission’s initiative “ICT Innovation for Manufacturing SMEs (I4MS2)”.
The call aims to support European SMEs and midcaps to create and deploy AI applications that support their manufacturing lines in being more sustainable with less waste and energy consumption, being more agile secure and resilient to changes and being more attractive for employees to mitigate effects from age, gender, or social and cultural background.
The anticipated AI application must address at least one of the following objectives:
- Improve the sustainability of processes and products, significantly reduce or reuse waste and must lower the energy and carbon footprint
- Make industrial processes more agile, secure and resilient to future changes
- Make manufacturing jobs more attractive for humans, whichever the age, gender or social and cultural background, through better human-machine interfaces and more intuitive interaction with digital tools
