Open platform for realizing zero defects in cyber-physical manufacturing
openZDM project was officially finalised in November 2025.
openZDM was an initiative that developed and demonstrated in five representative production lines an open platform designed to realize Zero Defect Manufacturing.
The future of manufacturing excellence!
Our goal was to provide an innovative state-of-the-art integrated open platform that will combine advanced ICT solutions and innovative non-destructive testing, to support production networks’ zero-defect processes.
Deploy and demonstrate the openZDM solution
Through five industrial pilots in real-life operational conditions, representing the largest part of the EU’s manufacturing sector, geographically, technologically and from their value chain positioning, openZDM tested and finalised the technological tools and facilitated the adoption of the openZDM solution.
