Summary on Grant Application Form |
This project will develop highly innovative ambient intelligence (AmI) software components to increase significantly the
observability and traceability of systems, human operators (HO's) and environments within the automotive and electronics
manufacturing supply chains, thereby leading to more effective control and monitoring throughout the product supply chain
and operational lifecycle based upon higher levels of intelligence. This knowledge generation capability requires the
deployment of a network of integrated, embedded (within the product and processes) Radio Frequency components and
systems with robust, reliable sensors, autonomous operation, proactive reasoning, learning and social abilities (e.g.
communication, co-operation, conflict resolution and negotiation). The objective of INTELLICO is to demonstrate a
prototype generic network at automotive and electronics manufacturing end users.
