EuProGigant Open House Day successfully demonstrates project progress and inspires project consortium<\/h3>\n

Digitisation, networking and trust were the keywords of the first EuProGigant Open House Day, which connected project partners and funding authorities as well as members of the three advisory boards in Vienna on 4 October 2022. In addition to a review of the project\u2019s progress over the past 1.5 years, including achieved milestones, participants from Germany and Austria discussed upcoming developments of the research project.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEuProGigant is a Gaia-X lighthouse project that is making very good progress and has a lot of radiant power – stay tuned”, with these words Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Weigold (Head of the Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools at TU Darmstadt) and Univ. Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. techn. Friedrich Bleicher (Head of the Institute of Production Engineering and Photonic Technologies at Vienna University of Technology) welcomed the more than 80 participants at the Pilot Factory Industry 4.0.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Right on schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the EuProGigant Open House Day another successful milestone meeting (M3) took place, where the current project status was communicated and further approaches about the direction of the project were discussed. The EuProGigant project team looks back on a positive project progress according to plan: all three milestones, M1 to M3, were successfully achieved. Key findings from the project phase on the respective milestones have already been prepared and published<\/a><\/strong> in various articles for different target groups.<\/p>\n

Showing how it can work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developed from the needs of industry, the event demonstrated the importance of the project for the European manufacturing sector. \u201cWhether it’s the Green Deal, predictive maintenance or resource savings \u2013 with EuProGigant and its seven use cases we are addressing important industry challenges,\u201d explained Viktor Berchtenbreiter, project manager on the German side. \u201cHowever, before companies can benefit from the advantages of data sharing \u2013 including increased speed of value creation or even faster and more innovative product development \u2013 barriers such as interoperability, costs and lack of access must first be reduced. This is where the new data infrastructure Gaia-X can help.\u201d<\/p>\n

Use cases made tangible<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the participants had gained first insights into the diverse use cases during the presentations, they were able to experience the latest developments live. At four stations, the project partners presented the challenges and the solutions envisioned for them:<\/p>\n
