IoT Case Study
Quadible enhanced ZDMP by bringing behavioural authentication and anomaly detection to smart factories, enabling safer, more secure, and zero-defect manufacturing.
What is ZDMP?
ZDMP aims at providing an extendable platform for supporting factories with a high interoperability level to cope with the concept of connected factories to reach the zero defects goal. In this context, ZDMP will allow end-users to connect their systems (i.e. shopfloor and ERP Systems) to benefit from the features of the platform.
These benefits include products and production quality assurance among others. The concept of ZDMP can be simplified to a feedback and control system found in areas ranging from human/autonomous driving through to electronics.
Steering the system will be the ZDMP apps composed using the projects SDK and different components. Broadly these receive (and present/actuate) information from sensors/APIs and then process the data.
About CALM Project
Zero-defects concept focuses on minimising the mistakes both due to humans and machines. Mental and physical states such as stress and fatigue as well as human mistakes such as account sharing, forgetting to log out are a few of the sources of human error.
CALM will tackle these sources of human error by introducing continuous behavioural analysis into the Zero-defects concept. Continuous behavioural authentication combined with a higher level of behavioural analysis and anomaly detection will automatically and in real-time prevent potential defects in the production line.
CALM will predict and reduce defects, increase safety and productivity as well as reduce costs and waste.
Objectives
The CALM project objectives are summarised into:
-
Research and develop an AI-powered behaviour analysis component
-
Develop an anomaly detection mechanism based on users’ behaviour.
-
Disseminate and ensure the sustainability of the product
Benefits
In terms of cybersecurity, continuous behavioural authentication will benefit ZDMP:
-
empower security as it combines multiple biometrics and behavioural patterns, eliminating the errors of each individual method,
-
easiness-to-use as the system does not require any user input; a factor particularly important for manufacturing,
-
strengthen privacy as the workers, become sole owners and having full control over their personal data and
-
protect Intellectual Property against IP theft and fraud through the use of behavioural authentication.
Consortium
The ZDMP project constitutes of a large consortium of prestigious partners from 11 different European countries including research institutes, solution providers, integrators, manufacturers and small and large industrial organisations.
Among them are the following organisations:
