Secure Collaborative Intelligent Industrial Assets (SeCoIIA)

SeCoIIA - Enhancing security and safety for collaborative manufacturing
SeCoIIA project
SeCoIIA aims at securing the digital transition of the manufacturing industry towards more connected, collaborative, flexible and automated production techniques
- Enhanced process monitoring, optimisation and control is achieved by intelligent use digital twin technology, Industrial IoT, Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg), collaborative robotics and Industrial AI
With 4 large strategic industry players, 4 highly innovative SMEs and 4 highly recognised research centres, 16 key capabilities, 12 partners from Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands, SeCoIIA consortium is best suited to achieve enhanced competitiveness and resilience for European manufacturing industry.
Challenges
- The transition from hierarchised supply chains to collaborative networks of smart factories opens an attack surface so far never reached. Manufacturing operators are untrained to the manipulation of vulnerable cyber-physical assets. The deployment of smart
sensors over distributed shop floors requires time-sensitive communication security measures - Enhanced collaboration on manufacturing activities may not safely apply without collaborative security monitoring and incident response
- The increased reliance on machine-learning based decision making sets a technical challenge in terms of security assurance and a legal challenge in terms of accountability and law enforcement
Objectives
1 |
Secure the adoption of smart collaborative manufacturing techniques by European Transport Systems Manufacturing Industries |
2 |
Identify and prevent threats to collaborative manufacturing environments, build, sustain and exchange smart OT security knowledge and know-how
|
3 |
Create trust across smart manufacturing value chain, secure access to dynamic collaborative Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) services |
4 |
Detect and react in collaboration, improve OT intrusion detection accuracy, reduce decision time and response cost, improve coordination of safety and security teams |
5 |
Empower and responsibilise key actors of the manufacturing value chain, secure machine decision making, adapt regulatory framework and enforce the law
