The document discusses the European Factories of the Future (FoF) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and the EFFRA roadmap for 2014-2020. It provides an overview of the current FoF PPP, funded under FP7, including statistics on industry participation and funding. It then outlines the key elements that will be covered in the new EFFRA roadmap, including priority technology areas like advanced manufacturing processes, mechatronics, ICT, and modeling/simulation. Finally, it notes that a public consultation on the draft roadmap will take place in July to help shape the research priorities for 2014-2020 under Horizon 2020.

2. EFFRA: who we are and what we do
About EFFRA
• industry-driven European
association
• created by MANUFUTURE ETP
and by industrial associations
• partner of the European
Commission
• creates consensus on
common R&D priorities
• strong network of SME’s, large
industry & RTOs www.effra.eu

3. Agile Manufacturing Industries: from Mechatronics to Collaborative Supply Chains
Overview of the FoF PPP
• Funded under FP-7
• 61 projects up and running
• Statistics show industrial participation
of more than 50% (compared to some
20-30% for total FP7)
• € 250M of EU in 2010/11
• Success rate of up to 20%
After 2013 FoF PPP will
• Time-to-contract 1st call: 8.5 months
continue under Horizon 2020
• Industry participation: 50-60%
• Additional € 400M in 2012/13

4. EFFRA Roadmap: ‘Factories of the Future in Horizon 2020’
RD&I roadmap 2014-2020
• roadmap will cover R&D
and innovation activities
• guiding principles:
industry competitiveness,
from research to industrial application
and market uptake
• ambition: key impact on industrial
application fields

5. Factories of the Future PPP: EFFRA Roadmap
Technologies & Enablers

aware of the surrounding environment.
• ICT solutions for next generation data storage and information mining
• ICT solutions for implementing secure, high performance and open
manufacturing services platforms
• collaborative and decentralized application architectures and development tools
• Modelling, simulation and forecasting
• for integrated product-process-production system
• strategically support the manufacturing-related activities during phases
• Manufacturing strategies
