| HARMONI – HAZARD ASSESSMENT AND RISK MANAGEMENT OF NATECH EMERGENCIES WITH CROSS-COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES | HARMONI addresses the growing complexity of NaTech disasters by developing a comprehensive platform to enhance prevention, monitoring, and response for critical infrastructures (CIs). The platform will integrate existing data and lessons learned into a unified Knowledge Graph (KG) and the information gathered will serve for the creation of a database of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The tools that will be offered by HARMONI are A) PREVENTION: Digital Twins (DTs) for CIs, enabling the modeling of cascading effects and worst-case scenarios to inform prevention and mitigation strategies. B) MONITORING: HARMONI combines advanced remote sensing algorithms, UAV-SAR imaging, and on-site data collection, to deliver real-time monitoring and early warnings of vulnerabilities, while C) ACTION/RESPONSE: will be guaranteed by its Hybrid NaTech Decision Assessment (HNDA) that integrates Federated Learning, human expertise, and SSH insights to recommend actionable SOPs tailored to evolving disaster scenarios. This ensures a holistic decision-making process, aligning technical capabilities with social and ethical considerations. The project includes six use cases, showcasing its technologies in diverse NaTech scenarios, including a cross-border collaboration use case to validate interoperability and scalability with existing systems. By fostering cooperation with ESA FutureEO initiatives and EU frameworks, HARMONI supports knowledge sharing and alignment with international standards. Ultimately, HARMONI aims to strengthen resilience, reduce disaster impacts, and provide innovative, interoperable solutions to NaTech crises, supporting safer, more sustainable management practices across Europe. |

DMaaST – INNOVATIVE MODELLING AND ASSESSMENT CAPABILITIES THROUGHT MAAS FOR MANUFACTURING ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCY (https://dmaast.eu) |
DMaaST aims to enhance the manufacturing ecosystem's resiliency and capability of self-adaptation in response to external events. It is achieved through a Smart Manufacturing Platform comprising 4 layers: The data layer establishes a foundation for mapping manufacturing ecosystem information using ontologies and decentralized knowledge graph (DKG), ensuring a trusted cross-organization real-time data integration. Next, a layer with a two-level cognitive digital twin is created, with the low-level DT modelling two use cases' manufacturing services production line; and the high-level DT modelling the main stages of use-cases’ sectors value chains. The resulting DTs will use human expertise-knowledge, data-driven algorithms and physical modelling to provide a reliable and robust DT of the manufacturing ecosystem. The next layer employs the data and modelling layer's information to present a multi-objective distributed decision support system (MO-DDSS) algorithm combining multi-objective techniques and the latest trends in Federated Deep Learning. This makes DTs actionable models and provides the necessary information to make optimal production decisions. The fourth layer focuses on presenting the information in a user-friendly manner with timely scoreboards. Additionally, a dedicated module will assess the production's circularity and sustainability and considering products traceability through the EU-DPP. Therefore, the sustainability and remanufacturing opportunities of the production process will be improved. The project ensures scalability, providing information for replicating and trying new manufacturing processes thanks to the manufacturing services digital warehouse while assessing risks and opportunities for improvement. DMaaST innovations enable the manufacturing ecosystem to adopt the Manufacturing as a Service concept by smoothly evolving all the technologies from a TRL3 to a consolidated TRL6 in 2 use cases in key sectors, aeronautics and electronics. |

| Manufacturing Intelligent Digital Interactive Assistant (MINDIA) | The proposed MINDIA (Manufacturing Intelligent Digital Assistant) experiment aims to develop and validate a digital assistant that improves efficiency and communication in the plastics manufacturing sector, focusing on Cromic Plastik’s production processes. Currently, operators rely on manual monitoring and routine checks, which leads to delayed responses, increased waste, and limited coordination between production and logistics. MINDIA will be developed as an OVOS skill, deployed through the WASABI Docker Compose stack, and distributed via the WASABI White Label Shop to ensure reuse by other SMEs. The assistant will integrate real-time process data, voice-based interaction, and augmented reality (AR) visualization to support daily operations. Operators will access it through the COALA App on mobile devices or AR glasses, receiving spoken feedback, visual step-by-step instructions, and document-based guidance through DocuBoT. Using this setup, MINDIA will help users interpret process deviations, identify possible causes of inefficiencies, and improve communication during changeovers and scrap management. Technologically, MINDIA connects machine and sensor data with structured operational knowledge and contextual guidance, turning scattered experience and documents into an accessible, intelligent interface. This integration supports faster decision-making, smoother coordination between production and logistics, and reduced material waste. |

| OPtimize Electric Vehicle Autonomy (OPEVA), Proposal number: 101097267, Call: HORIZON-KDT-JU-2021-2-RIA, 1 January 2023 – 31 December 2025. |
The OPEVA project will study all actors that will create a modern "mobility experience", taking into account sustainability and resource optimisation in the transition to fossil fuel-free vehicles. It targets outputs in six critical technology areas in the ecosystem and four areas for socio-economic compatibility in order to accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). The first technology area (TD1) in the OPEVA project targets innovation in collecting information not only from the battery, but also from other on-board sensors, driver behaviour and the vehicle itself, in order to create a performance and consumption model tailored to the individual vehicle and its driver. The second technology area (TD2) aims to optimise the individual driving segment using off-vehicle data such as road condition, weather, charging station location and occupancy, etc. collected from back-end systems. The third technology area (TD3) will also address the challenges related to the communication between the vehicle and the infrastructure to collect data from back-end systems. It also targets innovation in the use of charging stations and related applications (TD4). It also aims to better understand what the battery and its constituent cells actually do during real-world use for an improved battery management system (TD5). Finally, TD6 also covers driver-oriented human factors to optimise the use of electric vehicles. On the other hand, the OPEVA methods will consider economic factors (NTD1), legal and ethical aspects (N-TD2), human development related to EVs (N-TD3) and societal and environmental factors (NTD4). Studies will be carried out within the scope of the project in order to increase the acceptance and awareness of these developments in the society. https://opeva.eu |
| Verification and Validation of Automated Systems' Safety and Security (Valu3s), Proposal number: 876852-2, Call: H2020-ECSEL-2019-2-RIA, 1 May 2020 – 1 May 2023. |
Manufacturers of automated systems and their components have been allocating an enormous amount of time and effort in R&D activities. This effort translates into an overhead on the V&V (verification and validation) process making it time-consuming and costly. The ECSEL JU project VALU3S aims to evaluate the state-of-the-art V&V methods and tools, and design a multi-domain framework to create a clear structure around the components and elements needed to conduct the V&V process. The main expected benefit of the framework is to reduce time and cost needed to verify and validate automated systems with respect to safety, cyber-security, and privacy requirements. This is done through identification and classification of evaluation methods, tools, environments and concepts for V&V of automated systems with respect to the mentioned requirements. To this end, VALU3S brings together a consortium with partners from 10 different countries, amounting to a mix of 25 industrial partners, 6 leading research institutes, and 10 universities to reach the project goal. |
