Connected Everything II: Accelerating Digital Manufacturing Research Collaboration and Innovation

物联网II（CEII）网络将提供一个网络网络，加速多学科合作，促进工业界和学术界之间的新合作，并应对新出现的挑战，这将支持英国学术界的研究，以支持数字制造的人员，技术，产品和系统。通过一系列活动，包括可行性研究，网络和专题研究，CEII将在多学科社区内汇集新团队，探索新想法，在数字制造的背景下展示新技术，并加速研究对行业的影响。该网络的灵感来自工业4.0的四个原则：互操作性;信息透明度;认知和物理协助;以及分散的决策和行动。它将使多学科社区能够考虑跨领域的主题，其中一些将在网络的生命周期中出现，但其他-创造力;数据丰富的社会技术系统;和监管-这些都是由网络管理团队的工业和学术成员共同创建的。CEII Network Plus符合国家和国际数字制造的优先事项，正如Made Smarter报告中所强调的那样。它将通过考虑如何在未来的分布式制造系统中连接对象和数据的数字技术的进步，为实现互联国家做出贡献。它将通过开发示范项目，将其他领域的概念应用于数字制造，以及一系列支持未来领导者发展的活动，为建设生产型国家做出贡献。

The Connected Everything II (CEII) Network Plus will deliver a network of networks which will accelerate multi-disciplinary collaboration, foster new collaborations between industry and academia and tackle emerging challenges which will underpin the UK academic community's research in support of people, technologies, products and systems for digital manufacturing. Through a range of activities, including feasibility studies, networking, and thematic research, CEII will bring together new teams within a multidisciplinary community to explore new ideas, demonstrate novel technologies in the context of digital manufacturing, and accelerate impact of research into industry. The Network is inspired by the context of the four tenets of Industry 4.0: Interoperability; Information Transparency; Cognitive and Physical Assistance; and Decentralised Decisions and Actions. It will enable the multidisciplinary community to consider cross-cutting themes, some of which will emerge during the lifetime of the Network, but others - Creativity; Data-rich sociotechnical systems; and Regulation - which have been co-created by the industrial and academic members of the Network management team. The CEII Network Plus aligns with a National and International priority of Digital Manufacturing, as highlighted in the Made Smarter report. It will contribute to the delivery of a Connected Nation, through consideration of how advances in digital technologies which connect objects and data in future, distributed manufacturing systems. It will contribute to a Productive Nation, through development of demonstrator projects that take concepts from other domains and apply them to Digital Manufacturing, as well as a range of activities which will support the development of future leaders.
