ReGAIN research project
Goals/Vision
Improving foundry efficiency, flexibility, resilience and sustainability through connected value creation systems and AI assistants
The project aims to integrate complex foundry production systems into a connected value creation system. The resulting digital transparency enables new digital manufacturing concepts that meet growing demands for resilience and sustainability while maximising manufacturing flexibility and interoperability. This holistic approach unlocks previously unused energy and resource efficiency potential for an environmentally sustainable foundry industry, in line with the European Green Deal updated in 2021. ReGAIN will establish the foundations for a consistently defined digital product passport for every foundry product, using and aligning with Catena-X .
To achieve these objectives, the project develops standardised conceptual and logical data models, AI and simulation approaches for multi-objective optimisation, and the “ReGAIN AI Services” app ecosystem for federated machine learning and data analytics. The results will inform standardisation and technology transfer within and beyond the foundry industry.
