The projects under this topic need to address the following aspects:

• Propose and develop new production modules that cover processes that are not currently readily available on the market and go beyond the current state of the art with a clear alignment of customer and workers’ needs including taking into consideration biases and gender dimension;
• Create interfaces based on open-source protocols that allow for easily integration of modules in existing lines and with other modules or production elements;
• Create industrial strategies on how to use modularity, including its related service models, to reduce energy consumption and environmental footprint, and demonstrate these in a relevant environment;
• Develop business models that demonstrate the potential of the modular technologies to be transferred from one specific manufacturing sector to several others;
• Support training and knowledge transfer to relevant parts of the workforce.
