IMR are a fully operational Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) with pedigree: https://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/digital-innovation-hubs-tool IMR leading a candidate European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) now invited to Grant Agreement preparation: https://s3platform.jrc.ec.europa.eu/web/guest/digital-innovation-hubs-tool IMR's goal is to Demystify, Derisk and Deliver emerging technologies and new knowledge to enable industry to succeed at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing. Pillar 1: Automation & Control Vision: Self-adaptive autonomous automation Enabling manufacturers to be globally competitive through step change improvements in productivity and quality manufacturing through automation and robotics. The Mullingar Pilot Lines provide a national test bed for the development of automation and control applications across a broad range of industries. Pillar 2: Design for Manufacturing Vision: Customer-defined manufacturing Supporting industry to design and produce using advanced digital toolsets and technologies such as 3D printing, advanced machining and full product lifecycle management, to create novel products and processes designed around great customer experiences. Pillar 3: Digitisation Vision: Data driven business Accelerating the evolution towards Industry 4.0 and addressing the full data driven manufacturing paradigm with a twin vision of using data for effective and optimized factory performance and also to enable new business models and revenue streams through value-add services. Pillar 4: Sustainable Manufacturing Vision: Zero net carbon manufacturing To help industry take a leadership role in creating a low-carbon economy through coalescing thought leadership on many key areas around the Circular Economy, resource efficiency and intelligent energy management. IMR helps industry to optimise and adopt technologies for intelligent factory and supply-chain operations. Further information: facilities in Dublin and Westmeath, Ireland.
