Unlocking the power of industrial data: Exploitation results of Factories of the Future projects

How can smart data solutions, AI-driven optimisation, and digital twins revolutionise manufacturing?
At the Digital Manufacturing Industrial Workshop in Brussels on the 26th of March, Dr. Ilias Gialampoukidis will provide the answer. A Senior Researcher at the Multimodal Data Fusion and Analytics Group within the Information Technologies Institute (ITI) at CERTH, Gialampoukidis will present the exploitation results of key Factories of the Future (FoF11) projects: i4Q, OPTIMAI, InterQ, and DAT4.ZERO.
The i4Q project has developed an IoT-based Reliable Industrial Data Services (RIDS) suite, consisting of 22 cutting-edge solutions designed to handle the vast amount of industrial data generated by cost-effective, smart, and interconnected factory devices. These solutions enhance quality control, optimise processes, and drive Zero-Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) across diverse industrial environments.
In his presentation, Gialampoukidis will highlight the transformative impact of these FoF11 projects, including:
i4Q – A complete industrial data management framework for reliable and real-time quality control
OPTIMAI – AI-powered quality optimisation and predictive analytics for smarter decision-making
InterQ – A digital twin approach to monitoring and optimising manufacturing quality
DAT4.ZERO – AI and IoT-enabled defect prevention, reducing waste and improving sustainability
With expertise in ZDM, digital manufacturing, and AI-driven decision support, Gialampoukidis will illustrate how these projects are driving industry-wide transformation, improving process efficiency, and enhancing European manufacturing competitiveness.
The session will showcase how data-driven quality management and advanced analytics can turn industrial data into a strategic asset, supporting the transition to sustainable and zero-waste production.
Join us in Brussels to explore how the Factories of the Future projects are shaping the next era of European manufacturing!
