How can AI, IoT, and predictive analytics revolutionise manufacturing quality control? Giuseppe Fragapane, research manager at SINTEF and expert in digital transformation, will provide answers at the Digital Manufacturing Industrial Workshop in Brussels on the 26^th of March as he presents the latest breakthroughs from the DAT4.ZERO project.
 
Fragapane specialises in advanced manufacturing systems, digital twins, and AI-driven decision support, working at the intersection of industry and academia to bring cutting-edge digital innovations into real-world production environments. At the event, he will unveil the Key Exploitable Results (KERs) of DAT4.ZERO, including:
Kharon Data Management System – A comprehensive data-driven platform enhancing defect detection and process optimisation
FP System for Reflective Surface Measurement – An innovative tool that improves precision in quality control for complex manufacturing environments
Digital QAS Solution – A smart, real-time monitoring system designed to drastically reduce defects and streamline production
 
These solutions are already demonstrating measurable impacts, with waste reduction of up to 10%, energy efficiency gains of 20%, and cost savings exceeding €500,000 annually across various industrial applications.
 
Fragapane will also present a policy roadmap for Zero-Defect Manufacturing, advocating for greater EU support in digital quality management, the adoption of AI-driven defect detection, and workforce upskilling to enable a more sustainable, high-performance manufacturing sector.
 
With ZDM becoming a key enabler of Europe’s industrial sustainability goals, this session is a must-attend for those eager to understand how data-driven innovations are transforming production quality and efficiency.
 
Join us in Brussels on the 26^th of March to hear how DAT4.ZERO is setting new benchmarks for defect-free, cost-effective, and sustainable manufacturing.
