(MaaS) ecosystems using advanced enabling technologies within the Industry 4.0 context. Central to the project is the development of a network of Digital Twins (DTs) that are both trustworthy and cognitive, enabling seamless collaboration within distributed value networks. The project examines three distinct value networks (VNs), each with specific needs and objectives: Value network 1 focuses on the production and distribution of electronic boards for white goods manufacturing. The aim is to optimize production and distribution processes by introducing an innovative ordering and production system that leverages the capabilities of multiple providers. Value network 2 involves stakeholders in the additive manufacturing sector, and focuses on mould production for plastic components. It seeks to promote the adoption of additive manufacturing by offering comprehensive services that include finishing processes like machining and coating. Additionally, the network addresses reducing idle periods in aggregate planning. Finally, Value network 3 is built around an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor responsible for constructing large-scale energy facilities. The focus is on streamlining and digitizing the negotiation process with suppliers at the strategic planning level. The project introduces standardized Information Models to improve communication and collaboration between the contractor and suppliers. The work concludes by emphasizing T4M’s holistic approach to meeting diverse manufacturing challenges, serving as key facilitator in addressing these needs.
