EEF Cyber Security for Manufacturing 2018 report

• 91% is investing, or intend to invest in digital technologies

• 35% consider cyber-vulnerability inhibits them from doing so fully

• Manufacturing third most attacked sector

• Attacks: obtaining IP or internal operational information; ransomware attacks; fraud for financial gain through phishing

So where does this leave us?

• From losing data and money, to potentially losing lives??

• From switching off computers, to switching off chemical plants??

• From a factory as a fortress, to interconnected supply chains??

• From teenagers in basements, to state-funded professionals??

• From internal sourcing, to outsourcing IT??

• From … to more or less risks with open source software??

• From security-by-design, to security-by-design??

• So, nothing but problems…

• Then, how to go from problems to solutions?????

DT-FOF-08-2019: Pilot lines for modular factories (IA 50%)

Specific Challenge:

• High need of flexibility in production lines

• To enable efficient production of small customised series

• Two levels of modularity (from previous research)

- Complete machine with interface and material handling system

- Interchangeable tool heads

• Advantage of modularity demonstrated by the ease of use and plug-and-produce features allowing rapid modification

DT-FOF-08-2019: Pilot lines for modular factories (IA 50%)

Specific Challenge:

• The modules should:

- Enable the production of the widest variety of complex products

- Allow rapid physical rearrangements (through automated processes or manual intervention)

- Have accessible, secure interfaces in order to be connected to a common data system for production control

• The interfacing with the existing hardware and legacy software is another aspect that needs to be covered

Scope:

• Proposals starting from existing test beds allowing for the introduction of modular process units

• Proposals should cover all of the following areas:

• Development of a range of production modules covering different disciplines (e.g. mechanical cutting tools, thermal processes, and additive manufacturing technologies, taking into account safety aspects)

• Integration of comprehensive production management systems and real-time process control in a reconfigurable line and considerations for data interoperability between modules and process line

• Pilot production of different products covering processing technologies and features such as multi-functionality (mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, etc.), multi materials, and complex shapes
