In modern industrial environments, integrating heterogeneous systems and protocols is still painfully manual. Digital twins and data pipelines promise interoperability, but bridging raw machine data to structured digital representations often means editing piles of JSON by hand—slow, brittle, and error-prone.

CONVERGING aims to Develop, deploy, validate, and promote smart and reconfigurable production systems including multiple autonomous agents (collaborative robots, AGVs, humans) that are able to act in diverse production environments.
The project proposes the development of systems that can:
- Identify and recognize processes/resources/environment and their status
- Analyze the production system status and autonomously formulate a plan of actions using AI
- Automatically modify h/w and control systems to execute the formulated plans
- Seamlessly work with humans or other resources establishing a social industrial environment
- Expand its capabilities and Openness via an Open Pilot Network
The CONVERGING results will be demonstrated in the following sectors: Automotive, Aircraft Production, White Goods and Additive Manufacturing products processing sectors.

How Converging is Transforming Maintenance and Cargo Aviation
The demand for cargo aircraft has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by the boom in e-commerce and global logistics. Airlines and leasing companies are increasingly turning to aircraft conversion as a cost-effective solution to expand their cargo fleets. Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a global leader in aircraft conversion, plays a crucial role in this transformation, converting passenger planes into freighters to meet rising demand.
Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC) offers the potential to combine human intuition and expertise with robotic strength and precision, revolutionizing workplace efficiency. However, ensuring intuitiveness, safety, and comfort in these interactions is crucial. One significant factor in optimizing HRC is improving worker posture through adaptive robotic movements, which can personalize workstations and enhance both acceptance and productivity.
