FORCE

Formulations and Computational Engineering

Sector

Materials

Product/Objective

The project aimed to develop an open integrated framework that connects materials models at various levels of complexity, experimental data sets and commercial information (e.g. ingredients and processing costs), so that decision makers can use a wider variety of key performance indicators. These are combined with multi-criteria optimization algorithms to identify the optimal trade off when making a business decision, considering appropriate formulation and business constraints.

Project Summary

FORCE brings materials modelling into the center-stage of business by combining it with advanced machine learning approaches for handling big data, empowering decision makers through the provision of rapid avenues to optimize existing, and design new products to enhance the position of European industries in their global markets.

Innovation

FORCE brings Materials modelling, business tools and databases into a single workflow:

  • Enable advanced multi-criteria optimisations based on advanced KPIs;

     

  • Applicable to different industrial sectors;
  • Optimise the integration of humans in new more complex industries;
  • Validation and training of translators on the system.

ES Role

EnginSoft’s role was to integrate the Business Decision Support System (BDSS) platform using interoperability and open simulation platform principles. In addition, EnginSoft developed the user interfaces and the workflow management technologies.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer

Research project

CLOSE

CLOSE TO THE EARTH

The ultimate goal of the project is to “open” a new operating area in Space, namely that of Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEO), or orbits between 160 and 250km in altitude.

Research project

MUSIC

MUlti-layers control&cognitive System to drive metal and plastic production line for Injected Components

The MUSIC is strongly aimed at leading EU-HPDC/PIM factories to cost-based competitive advantage through the necessary transition to a demand-driven industry with lower waste generation, efficiency, robustness and minimum energy consumption.

Research project

ForZDM

Integrated Zero Defect Manufacturing Solution for High Value Adding Multi-stage Manufacturing systems

The ForZDM project developed and demonstrated tools to support the rapid implementation of Zero-Defect Manufacturing solutions in industry, and to design more competitive and robust multi-stage manufacturing systems.
