RaRe2
Human-centred Rapid Reconfiguration of Production and Value Chains in Fast Changing Scenarios
Smart manufacturing
The overall objective of the RaRe2 project is to create a flexible and resilient Holistic Ecosystem Platform powered by the interactions of many European organizations interested in cooperating in the rapid reconfiguration of process chains through collaborative systems and adaptive workforce up-skilling. The strategic objectives of the project include:
The project will introduce a smart connection of sustainable and digitized manufacturing solutions to enable rapidly reconfigurable and crisis-resilient manufacturing systems that are able to quickly reach full production speed for the new products demanded by society and customers. RaRe2 will help make the European manufacturing landscape sustainably resilient to unforeseen market changes, sudden disruptions, regulatory changes, or any kind of crisis and changeable scenario including climate and weather.
It will be powered by interaction among many European organizations interested in collaborating on rapid reconfiguration of process chains through COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS and ADAPTABLE WORKFORCE UP-SKILLING.
RaRe2 introduces the smart connection of sustainable and digital manufacturing solutions to enable rapidly configurable and crisis-resilient manufacturing systems. RaRe2 features innovations in eight areas: 1) Industry-specific early detection software; 2) Standardized system-level digital manufacturing twin; 3) Standardized digital logistics twin at system level; 4) Automatic generation and simulation of alternative value chains; 5) Skills gap detection and methods for standardizing reconfigurable training; 6) Reconfigurable mixed-reality assistance and training for manual workstations; 7) Holistic Modular ecosystem platform for rapid interactive decision support; 8) Certification standard.
EnginSoft is responsible for the generation and simulation of alternative value chains.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer
Research project
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.
Research project
The initiative is set to transform the European remanufacturing industry by addressing its current limitations and setting new standards for human-centric innovation. It aims to develop and demonstrate a novel remanufacturing paradigm which is inherently safe for humans, target-driven in regeneration and certification, flexible in handling post-use parts variability, and robust for replication in new circular business cases. To achieve these objectives, rEUman partners will develop cutting-edge remanufacturing approaches and integrate them into the value chains.
