Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks

What is C2NET for?

European SMEs do not currently have access to advanced management systems
and to collaborative tools due to their restricted resources. SMEs manufacturing
value chains are distributed and dependent on complex information and material
flows requiring new approaches to reduce the complexity of manufacturing
management systems. They need ubiquitous tools supporting collaboration among
value chain partners and providing advanced algorithms to achieve holistic global
and local optimization of manufacturing assets and to respond faster and more
efficiently to unforeseen changes. C2NET aims to collect the most promising results
from R&D EU Framework Program projects and build a novel Cloud Architecture to
provide SMEs affordable tools (in term of cost and usability) to help them to
overcome the current economic crisis and to enhance their competitiveness in the
global economy.
The goal of C2NET Project is the creation of cloud-enabled tools for supporting the
SMEs supply network optimization of manufacturing and logistic assets based on
collaborative demand, production and delivery plans.
C2NET is a H2020 project
Starting date: 01/01/2015
Duration: 36 months
Partners: 20
Total costs: 7.126.494
EC funding: 100 %
Call: H2020-FoF-01-2014 Process
Optimisation of Manufacturing Assets

Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU

Research
and
Innovation
programme ever with nearly 80
billion of funding available over 7
years (2014 to 2020) in
addition
to
the
private
investment that this money will
attract.
It
promises
more
breakthroughs, discoveries and
world-firsts by taking great ideas
from the lab to the market.

C2NET results
The Cloud Platform (C2NET CPL) to
integrate the data module, the
optimizers and the collaborative tools
in the cloud and allow the access to
process optimization resources to all
the participants in the value chain to
support their decisions and process
enhancement. It will provide the base
for the integration of the different
modules.

The Collaboration Tools (C2NET

COT) for providing the Collaborative
Manufacturing Network Platform
with a set of tools in charge of
managing the agility of the
collaborative processes.

The Data Collection Framework

(C2NET DCF) to provide software
components and hardware devices
for IoT-based continuous data
collection from supply network
resources.
This
supports
the
collaborative
manufacturing
functionality while taking advantage
of Cloud environments, which can
enable solutions that are highly
scalable, available and fault tolerant.

The Optimizer (C2NET OPT) to

support manufacturing networks in
the optimization of manufacturing
and logistics assets by the
collaborative
computation
of
production plans, replenishment
plans and delivery plans in order to
achieve shorter delivery times,
better speed and consistency of
schedules, higher use of productive.
resources and energy savings.
