PRO-FACTORY: Improving the Competitiveness of Manufacturing in Industry

The EUREKA umbrella PRO-FACTORY PLUS  focuses on advanced manufacturing technology and replaces the highly successful FACTORY umbrella. The technological scope of PRO-FACTORY PLUS has been updated in order to more clearly communicate issues of strategic importance for SMEs.
 
PRO-FACTORY PLUS is a EUREKA umbrella strategic initiative dedicated to production and robotics technologies and applications. This project aims at bringing forward and coordinating application-oriented, bottom-up, collaborative R&D projects in production and robotics for greater competitiveness and sustainability. This umbrella has a running period of 4 years (2011-2015) and involves 21 countries.
 
EUREKA PRO-FACTORY PLUS cooperates very closely with other European initiatives, such as the European Technology Platform Manufuture and others.
