MODAPTO envisions a future where industrial systems are highly adaptable, comprised of modules, and empowered by distributed intelligence through interoperable Digital Twins (DTs). MODAPTO brings the advantages of a global perspective to production by facilitating collective intelligence within modular production setups. This fosters effective design, reconfiguration, and decision support for modules and production lines. MODAPTO's primary goal is to provide a versatile framework for modular manufacturing. This framework can be tailored to suit the specific requirements of any production module, process, or manufacturer. It supports activities such as high-level design, reconfiguration, and optimization decision-making. Additionally, it enables the use of distributed intelligence and control over modules through interoperable DTs.

MODAPTO draws inspiration from three distinct use cases, involving four different manufacturers. These manufacturers encounter varying challenges related to modular design and reconfiguration at different levels: machine, process step, and production process. These use cases serve as practical examples, showcasing the flexibility of the MODAPTO approach in addressing a wide array of modular manufacturing aspects. This adaptability leads to significant improvements in key performance indicators (KPIs), including efficiency, cost, quality, decision-making, energy efficiency, and environmental considerations.
