Mission and Objectives
The mission of the FITMAN (Future Internet Technologies for MANufacturing
industries) project is to provide the FI PPP with a set of industry-led use case
trials in the Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories of the Future domains, in order to
test and assess the suitability, openness and flexibility of FI-WARE Generic
Enablers, this way contributing to the social-technological-economical-
environmental-political sustainability of EU Manufacturing Industries.
In order to accomplish the mission statement, the FITMAN project will deliver:
• FITMAN Generic Platform for Manufacturing Industries, as a collection of several Generic
Enablers Implementations of Fi-WARE Chapters (WP1);
• FITMAN Specific Platforms for Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories, as a collection of
several Specific Enablers Implementations belonging to Factories of the Future and Future
Internet Enterprise Systems research (WP3)
• FITMAN Trials Platforms as instantiation of the selected Generic and Specific Enablers for 11
industry-driven multi-sectorial Trials (WP4-5-6)
• Generic and flexible Trials Verification and Validation Framework, encompassing concepts,
methods and tools for Manufacturing Trials (WP2);
• Open-to-all FITMAN Phase III Package, to support FI-WARE PPP Phase III obj 1.8,
Expansion of Use Cases, access to FITMAN Reports / Prototypes (WP8)

Industrial Trials and Impact
• Ten FITMAN Trial Experimentations and Lessons Learned by deploying and
evaluating the FITMAN Trials Platforms in realistic Smart-Digital-Virtual Factories IT
and business cases:
• Smart Factories Trials: TRW (LE) automotive supplier – Safe & Healthy
Workplace, WHIRLPOOL (LE) white goods manufacturer – Mobile workforce,
PIACENZA (SME) textile/clothing – Cloud Manufacturing.
• Digital Factories Trials: VOLKSWAGEN (LE) automotive manufacturer – PLM
ramp-up for reduced Time to Market , AGUSTAWESTLAND (LE) aeronautics
manufacturer – Training services for blue collar workers, AIDIMA (SME)
furniture – Mass Customised Production, CONSULGAL (SME) construction –
As-designed vs. As-built Interoperability.
• Virtual Factories Trials: APR (SME) plastic industry – Collaboration
valorisation, TANet (SME) manufacturing resource management – Networked
Business Innovation, COMPLUS (SME) LED smart lighting – Collaborative
Production.
