The “ORCHESTER” consortium brings together the leading Fraunhofer Institutes in their respective sub-disciplines along the value chain. The digital ecosystem enables the integration of further complementary Fraunhofer activities of other Fraunhofer Institutes. This significantly strengthens the overall Fraunhofer profile in this important segment, giving Fraunhofer lasting visibility and enhancing its reputation. This is linked to technological leadership in securing the supply of materials by taking a holistic view of material function, sustainability and resilience through the creation of a digital knowledge base in a digital ecosystem. We will expand our technology leadership by initiating joint accompanying projects during the term of the project and after its completion. The interdisciplinary linking of information and generation of knowledge along the value chain for flexible material flows, resilient products and processes as well as rapid release and market readiness offers this potential. The planned marketing model for the information technology platform created, together with the initial data and data sources, guarantees long-term success.
The project consortium is coordinated by Fraunhofer IWM and consists of:
Fraunhofer IWM, Fraunhofer IWU, Fraunhofer IWS, Fraunhofer ISI, Fraunhofer IWKS, Fraunhofer IZFP
