NARRATE develops an AI-based tool to enhance resilience in manufacturing and logistics. The Intelligent Manufacturing Custodian (IMC) acts as a nerve center, using data for proactive decision-making and real-time monitoring. IMC integration transforms supply chains into Smart Manufacturing Networks (SMNs) capable of withstanding disruptions. A Digital Twin represents SMN data, training machine learning models to predict disruptions. AI algorithms provide real-time reporting on a dashboard.

With a worldwide production of nearly 380 million tons per year, polymer materials play a central role in our modern society. They are used in the manufacture of innumerable daily-life products, or as more sophisticated compounds in medicine, diagnostics, and fine chemistry. However, economical and new societal constraints require a more rational design and alternative synthesis, formulation and processing methods for polymer manufacturing to meet the need for greater sustainability, more virtuous end-of-life management, while maintaining optimal performances in application.

Described as the "fuel of the digital era", personal and private data is the fuel of all desires. Collected, analyzed and exploited, users’ data offer unprecedented opportunities for innovation, but raise real concerns about data privacy. The emergence of AI enabled-applications accentuates data privacy issues.
