Smart4CPPS ˗ Smart solutions for Cyber - Physical Production systems ˗ is a project created within the Smart Manufacturing working group of "Associazione Fabbrica Intelligente Lombardia", which uses the Cyber-Physical System (CPS), a Industry 4.0 paradigm, on the peculiarity of the Lombard manufactory with its excellences in the components and machines production. The proposed paradigm consists of Smart-CPS, i.e. it foresees that ICT technologies are no longer just a support for production processes, but they are integrated into components, machines and environments that become intercommunicating and intelligent CPS.
This requires:

• innovative modular digital infrastructures that allow effective management of industrial data at all stages of its life cycle;
• innovative and low-cost smart components;
• smart machines that evolve in order to maintain always maximum productivity;
• tools for smart factory.

Smart4CPPs is funded by Regione Lombardia within the Research and Innovation Agreements. The project was launched in March 2017 and will end in September 2020. Coordinator of the project is Cosberg, the involved partners are: Ratti, TXT e-solutions, Politecnico di Milano (DEIB - Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria and DIG - Dipartimento di Ingegneria Gestionale), Camozzi Automation, Balance System, Porta Solutions, Cavagna Group, University of Brescia, CNR-STIIMA (Institute of Systems and Industrial Technologies for Advanced Manufacturing), Scaglia Indeva, University of Bergamo, CMS, Quantra, Ste Industries and Fincons. The Fondazione Politecnico di Milano collaborates on the project.
