1. ForeSee is a cluster of six projects, which have
received funding from the European Union’s
Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe research
and innovation programme
European Cluster for Predictive
Operations in Manufacturing
Level-Up
Protocols and Strategies for extending the useful Life of
major capital investments and Large Industrial Equipment
2. Goals of Level-Up
7/21/2022 2
• Offer a scalable platform covering the overall lifecycle,
ranging from the digital twins setup, modernization actions
to diagnose and predict the operation of physical assets, to
the refurbishment and remanufacturing activities towards
end of life
• These innovations will be developed to
contribute to the following specific technical
objectives:
• CPSization & Digitalization
• Knowledge Management
• Digital Twins
• End of Life Strategies
• Inspection and NDT
3. Goals of Level-Up
7/21/2022 3
The strategies reflect how LEVEL-UP will work on the
digital world, special designed Protocols will describe
what actions should be executed on the physical
world in a structured and formalized fashion:
• Protocol Z Modernize
• Protocol 1 Functional diagnosis
• Protocol 2 Inspection
• Protocol 3 Refurbishment
• Protocol 4 Dissasembly
• Protocol 5 Upgrade
• Protocol 6 Repair
• Protocol 7 Remanufacturing
• Protocol 8 Recycling
• Protocol Ω Reassemble and testing
4. Task of ASI in Level-Up
7/21/2022 4
• Create an overview about the existing
standardization landscape
• Survey of Regulations and Standards used and
triggered in Level-Up
• Development of a deliverable including
• an overview of Standards affecting Level-Up
• a report on standards used and triggered in
Level-Up
• Gap analyses between existing standards
and needed requirements
5. Task of ASI in Level-Up
7/21/2022 5
Previous results
• The identified standard(s)
represent no barrier to the
work in the project.
• Exploitation of results
by developing a
CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA).
As an added value, demonstrating which standards are applied in the project,
respectively on which standards the solutions developed by Level-Up are based,
enhances the market uptake of these solutions. This is because standards are
recognized, trusted and used by the market and products or services complying with
standards create customer gains and alleviate customer pains.
6. CEN-CENELEC Workshop on
"Circularity Protocols for extending the useful
Life of Large Industrial Equipment"
7/21/2022 6
• CWA was initialized according to the “Grand Agreement 869991”.
• Scope: The planned Workshop specifies a set of protocols to
ensure a standardised and formalised selection of processes for
Modernising, Refurbishing, Repair, Remanufacturing, and
Upgrading of Large Industrial Equipment.
• An overlap between the scope of CEN/CENELEC/TCs and the
scope of the CWA has not yet been finally clarified (Clarification
by a decision of CEN/CENELEC till 2022-08-02)
• Planned development time: 15 months
• If you would like to actively participate, please contact the
intended secretary of the workshop:
