Photonics PPP ICT 03 – 2018-2019 • i. Manufacturing Pilot Lines • The specific challenge: • to accelerate the design, development and uptake of photonics technology for a wide range of industrial players, in particular SMEs • to provide low-barrier access to volume production of advanced photonics components available to a wide range of industrial players which would otherwise not have easy access. • Photonics Manufacturing Pilot Lines should form the basis for future Photonics Digital Innovation Hubs.
Photonics PPP ICT 03 – 2018-2019 • i. Manufacturing Pilot Lines • Scope: • Provide open access to manufacturing of advanced photonics components and systems and offer related services including design and characterization. • Cover all stages of manufacturing through to testing. • Provide a low entry barrier access to low and medium production volumes and the processes used should be scalable to high production volumes. • Include a validation of the pilot line offer with involvement of external users in pre-commercial production runs. • Aim at long-term sustainability, including development of or integration into photonics innovation hubs. • Use existing infrastructure and develop close links with on-going European and national initiatives in order to maximise impact.
Photonics PPP ICT 03 – 2018-2019 • i. Manufacturing Pilot Lines • Impact: • Proposals should describe how the proposed work will contribute to the listed corresponding expected impacts and include baseline, targets and metrics to measure impact. • Improve significantly the uptake of photonics technology by end-user industry, in particular SMEs, enabling a demonstrably more competitive European industry. • Greatly accelerate the time to market. • Create sustainable manufacturing capability in Europe. • Take note: • Proposals may address one or more areas called for • At least one proposal will be selected to cover each technology.
