CyberFactory#1 — Securing the industry 4.0 with cyber-ranges and digital twins

The 4th Industrial revolution is driven by increased connectivity, digitization, automation and autonomy of manufacturing assets, which trigger strong optimization perspectives, new businesses as well as a handful of new threats which need to be properly addressed. The CyberFactory#1 project (ITEA nr 17032) aims at solving this dilemma between productivity and security through the design, development and demonstration of a System of Systems that embraces the technical, economical, human and the societal dimensions of future factories. It relies on innovative simulation, optimization and resilience capabilities. Pilots from transportation, automotive, electronics and machine manufacturing will host demonstrations of these achievements in a real operational environment at the end of a 3 years collaborative project. An approach based on digital twins' integration with cyber-range will be implemented, to analyze the impact of attacks in the quality monitoring of avionics electronic, to manufacturing cobotic systems in a virtual environment to improve their ability to withstand manipulation attempts, and as a tool for iterative design of safety/security functions for cobots.
