Insights from EIRAS
Perspectives on industrial data ecosystems, Industrial AI, robotics, resilient manufacturing and European research and innovation.-

Why Resilient Manufacturing Requires More Than Robust Technology
Robust technology is designed to resist expected variation. Resilient manufacturing goes further: it gives an organisation the ability to anticipate disruption, absorb its effects, adapt operations, recover and learn.

Industrial AI Beyond the Hype: From Models to Reliable Manufacturing Decisions
Industrial AI creates value when trustworthy data, engineering knowledge and intelligent models come together to support reliable decisions in real manufacturing environments.
-

Asset Administration Shells as the Foundation of Interoperable Industrial Data Ecosystems
Industrial data is abundant, but its meaning is often trapped in proprietary systems and local conventions. Asset Administration Shells provide a standardised way to describe, find and exchange information about assets across tools, companies and lifecycle stages.
-

From Compliance Requirement to Data Architecture: Rethinking the Digital Product Passport
The Digital Product Passport is often treated as a future compliance document. In practice, it is a data architecture challenge—and an opportunity to create a trusted lifecycle information layer for products, components and materials.
