Network of Excellence on Innovative Production Machines and Systems (NoE I*PROMS)

I*PROMS NoE addresses innovative manufacturing research in an integrated manner in order to reshape this research area and overcome its current fragmentation. The Network integrates the activities of leading EU research institutions in the field of production research. These institutions possess wide-ranging and complementary human and material resources. I*PROMS is developing concepts, tools and techniques enabling the creation and operation of flexible, re-configurable, fault-tolerant and eco- and user-friendly manufacturing systems that can react to customer needs, environmental requirements, design inputs, and material / process / labour availability to manufacture high quality, cost-effective products. At present, I*PROMS comprises 30 member institutions representing 14 European countries. I*PROMS also includes associate partners to assist with the dissemination of results and spreading of excellence to research and user communities beyond the network.
