Project overview
- As Industry 4.0 and 5.0 takes shape, human operators experience an increased complexity of their daily tasks: they are required to be highly flexible and to demonstrate adaptive capabilities in a very dynamic working environment.
- The main goal of this project is to carry out R&D activities to move ahead the state of the art in the area of Smart Operators and their role in manufacturing systems according to the new Industry 4.0 paradigm. The SO4SIMS proposal conceives a holistic methodological and technological framework able to tackle the Smart Operator problem conceptualization and implementation from multiple interconnected perspectives.

Project results
- A dedicated Digital Twin for collecting and analyzing the data needed to investigate the Smart Operator problem;
- A set of new models that will consider in a synergic way: the operators’ safety and ergonomic problem, the operators’ ageing problem and the interaction of the operators with the shop floor technologies.
- Synthetic, virtual and simulated environments that works as test bed for the practical implementation of the Smart Operator.
