Subject-oriented modelling, through its focus on interactions, allows better adaptation of machines, processes and context to the human worker. This Objective includes augmenting the coverage of subject-oriented modelling to explicitly represent interactions with machines and context, and subsequent implementation and evaluation through a case study. This case study will address a scenario similar to the one shown in Figure 1, involving flexible job assignments through communication between workers and machines. This case study will be implemented on the shopfloor at TC Contact. This Objective relates to increasing decision autonomy and motivation of workers.

This Objective includes developing subject-oriented methods for workplace re-design
according to business and human values, borrowing from and extending methods for value stream design (VSD), contextual design, analysis of change propagation, and wiki-based re-design collaboration. The methods will be usable by those with the deepest insight into human needs at work: the workers themselves. The methods and tools developed will be implemented and evaluated through a case study at Fimap. This Objective relates to the workers’ empowerment by involving them in the responsible development of their workplaces, and the stimulation of teamwork.

This Objective targets the development of enabling technologies through seamlessly integrating production and business processes across all levels of control. It is based on the subject-oriented modelling approach establishing a uniform representation for control systems in any area of application. Existing industry standards, including OPC UA (IEC 62541), will be used for implementing the interfaces between subject-oriented models and the specific control systems including human and environmental sensor data. In addition, Metasonic’s workflow engine will be extended to provide the necessary real-time support for production control. For creating an integration solution ready to be evaluated in a real shopfloor environment, the development effort required would be too large for the scope of this project.
Therefore, the technologies developed for this Objective will be preliminary only, and will be developed and tested in a laboratory setting within JKU’s premises involving student volunteers. This Objective addresses a cross-thematic topic of NMP and ICT themes in the Work Programme 2013 (p. 43): the development of enabling technologies for adaptable machines and industrial processes. This also supports Objectives 1 and 2, as the implementation of enhanced workplaces can be directly mapped onto changes in real time production processes.​

The objective of WP1 is the smooth implementation of the project through appropriate mechanisms for management and coordination of other work packages and activities. It will address project infrastructure (committees, boards, quality plan, procedures, risk, registers, project management tools, internal web site, etc.) and financial and contractual management of the consortium, including maintenance of the Consortium Agreement, follow-up of contractual obligations (contractual reporting, deliverable issuing, monitoring of resources, communications with the Commission, etc.).

The scientific coordination of the project is not included in this WP. This WP only covers financial and administrative management/coordination activities. In accordance with article II.16 of the grant agreement, the efforts and costs related to the scientific coordination of the project are not included in this WP and will not be reported as management, but as RTD activities.

The objective of WP2 is the elicitation and analysis of requirements for the technologies to be developed, with respect to particular use cases. The use cases will demonstrate the applicability of the technologies with respect to 2 areas: “process automation”, and “empowering workers in assembly lines”.

The objective of WP3 is the development of methods and tools related to the 3 areas in which subject-orientation needs to be extended: (1) increasing the coverage of subject-oriented workplace models to include machines and context, (2) specialising the subject-oriented approach to analysis and improvement of workplaces for the production domain, and (3) providing semi-automated support for reconciling subject-oriented workplace models.

In addition, WP3 will develop and test the foundations for a seamless integration of production and business processes, as stated in Objective 3.

The objective of WP4 is the organisational and technical implementation and use of the technologies developed in WP3, within the use cases defined in WP2.

A use case called “Process Automation” will be implemented at TC Contact according to the definitions and specifications produced in WP2. It will include all the developed tools and methods of SO-PC-Pro. Factory-level tool installation equals in both companies.

The objective of WP5 is the organisational and technical implementation and use of the technologies developed in WP3, within the use cases defined in WP2.

A use case called “Empowered Workplace Improvement” will be implemented at Fimap according to the definitions and specifications produced in WP2. It will include all the developed tools and methods of SO-PC-Pro. ​

The objective of WP6 is the organisational and technical implementation and use of the technologies developed in WP3, within the use cases defined in WP2. A use case called “Mexico” will be implemented at BIMBO according to the definitions and specifications produced in WP2.

The objective of WP7 is the development of an evaluation framework providing data collection methods and tools and analysis methods for the formative as well as summative evaluations. The formative evaluation provides ongoing feedback for the development in WP3 of the SO-PC-Pro methods and tools (sensors and software components) to ensure the wearability and usability of the system.

The summative evaluation is based on the evaluation framework in line with the two case studies in WP4 and WP5 evaluating the SO-PC-Pro system to verify the objectives of the project.

The privacy of all workers will be respected at any time, and all data will be protected and anonymised. The data protection officers of the facilities involved will be informed to ensure that all requirements are met, and they will approve the data collection procedures.

​The objective of WP8 is the management and effective use of the results of the project, in terms of dissemination and exploitation. In detail, it aims at:

• Creating awareness about the SO-PC-Pro project as well as about its objectives, progress and results within the targeted industrial sector and the scientific community

• Ensuring and promoting the exploitation of the results by production companies and by new potential end users

• Managing the acquired knowledge, competencies and outcomes to facilitate exploitation by potential end-users
