AI-MATTERS – AI Manufacturing Testing and Experimentation Network for European Industries

AI in Manufacturing TesTing and experimentation facilities for EuRopean SMEs (AI-MATTERS) is proposed by an agile network of seven nodes and one satellite. We aim to increase the resilience and the flexibility of the European manufacturing sector through the deployment of the latest developments in AI and robotics, and intelligent, autonomous systems for flexible production.

Coordinated by CEA from the Paris-Saclay innovation ecosystem, AI-MATTERS brings together a consortium of major organisations from eight European countries (Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Greece, Spain and France). All consortium members bring their expertise in different manufacturing sectors such as automotive, space and mobility, textile, recycling, etc.

Smart Factory leads testing activities within the AI-MATTERS consortium. Within the Czech node, Smart Factory is one of three industrial testbeds in Prague, Brno and Ostrava where companies can develop, test and validate AI solutions for advanced manufacturing. The testbeds are equipped with a standalone private 5G campus network for data transfer with guaranteed latency and bandwidth.
