This project falls under industrial research focused on process sustainability and efficiency, in line with the principles of circular design and Industry 5.0, which combines advanced automation with human centrality.
Focusing on the mechatronic development of Masmec products, THREADDY aims to optimize both commercial proposal and engineering phases, reducing costs, assembly times, and software management complexity.
A digital platform, integrated with digital twin technologies, will centralize lifecycle management of production orders, enabling decision support, component modularity and reuse, and unlocking new sustainable business models.
In today’s socioeconomic landscape, the ability to adapt quickly and to offer product personalization is crucial to staying competitive.
OEMs must be able to implement improvements and changes rapidly, supporting the adoption of new business models.
Therefore, companies must strike a balance between growing demand and sustainability goals—economic, social, and environmental.
In this context, optimized processes and the use of data-driven decision-making are essential to improving operational efficiency, driving a more sustainable and responsible business approach.
Beneficiari
The project aims to transform Masmec’s product development processes, emphasizing sustainability, modularity, and advanced mechatronic management.
In an increasingly flexible production environment, mechatronic control of cyber-physical lines will make it possible to meet dynamic market needs, optimizing both costs and development times.
The goal is to ensure precise control across the entire product lifecycle, from design to post-sales management, through an integrated approach that merges mechanical and software components.
To achieve this, the project will develop an advanced digital configuration platform, conceived as a centralized management environment for Masmec’s entire product lifecycle.
This platform will enable interactive and personalized configuration, integrating both technical and commercial data.
Connected to company databases and powered by data analytics tools, it will support cost calculation, hierarchical product structure monitoring, and change traceability.
Synchronized with Masmec’s Digital Twin and IoT technologies, the platform will consolidate the company’s digital thread, from process simulation to real-time monitoring, providing essential data for machine configuration and operational optimization, and delivering proactive decision support.
