With a consortium of 30 complementary partners, a 4-year duration, and an ambitious goal of making the production lines of European factories more flexible, the DIMOFAC project might be difficult to grasp in just one sentence. But what about one picture? Zoom on...

The project, supported by the European Commission and launched in October 2019, will be taking advantage of emerging manufacturing technologies to create, implement and disseminate modular production methods that will help European factories to reconfigure their assembly lines in order to be more productive and flexible and thus reactive to demand changes.

The DIMOFAC consortium held it its kick-off meeting on the 6 and 7 November 2019 in Grenoble, where CEA, the organisation leading the initiative is based.
