SBDIO I4.0 is an industrial research project which aims to sustain local industries in their digitalization process, fostering transitions from a product economy to a services economy.
SBDIO I4.0 project stems from the needs of all the companies belonging to the industrial automation chain and based in the Emilia-Romagna Region, with the goal to simplify the transition from a product economy to a services economy.
The main objective of the project is the creation of a smart platform capable to offer a double servitization process for the industries: in the production (shopfloor) and in the post-sales services. This progressive transition can be developed by using an innovative approach based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms applied on big data.
