Description
SatisFactory aimed to contribute to the transformation of traditional industrial environments using cutting-edge technologies in ways that are both productive and appealing to workers. The mission of the SatisFactory project was to provide solutions for context-aware control and re-adaptation of industrial production facilities for increased productivity and flexibility in use of shop floor resources. Data were collected by a network of smart sensors, processed by a centralized analysis system and ultimately redistributed to the concerned operatives via augmented reality glasses and other connected interfaces. The elaboration of a collaboration platform increased real-time knowledge sharing. Gamification approaches were implemented to improve the attractiveness of the assembly lines. Improved shop floor feedback enabled a better decision making for gains in productivity, workers wellbeing and comfort. This set of cutting-edge technologies provided labourers with real-time informational support for incident management, maintenance and training. The project’s solutions were demonstrated in three pilot factories in Italy and Greece, before their deployment in other large-scale industrial facilities in Europe.
