6GSMART takes advantage of the use of 6G technology to improve cyber-physical systems for smart production. These systems are based on 5G/6G private networks, time sensitive networks, artificial intelligence techniques and Cloud Continuum environments.
6GSMART-ICC envisions the development of meta-operating systems (meta-OS) that will enable seamless interaction of service developers with the underlying computing infrastructure, which is heterogeneous in nature. In addition, the objective of this subproject is the development of mechanisms for orchestration and integration of public and private networks, as well as their validation and evaluation.
6GSMART-EZ is aimed at:
6GSMART-S plans to promote collaborative robotics and the application of digital twins in Industry 4.0 manufacturing systems. To this end, the subproject will focus on:
6GSMART-EXP aims to encourage the adoption of 6G technologies in the manufacturing environment. To this end, this subproject will work on the demonstration of three advanced manufacturing services through 6G networks. Validated services will include:
Nowadays, to meet the demands of Industry 4.0, a seamless convergence between the different cloud domains (edge, edge and cloud) is key for industries to have a cloud-native intelligent orchestration
In industrial environments, cloud services and the Internet of Things (IoT) converge, with the need to manage complex and diverse computing environments for service and infrastructure providers, a process called
Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) represents a paradigm shift whereby network operators can make telco capabilities from public networks available for external consumption, including monitoring and configuration-related capabilities, through Application Programming Interface (APIs).
Intent-based deployment mechanisms Edge computing moves services to the edge of the network, closer to IoT devices. In this context, cloud continuity refers to highly distributed environments that typically present

Closed loops are key enablers for automation, enabling zero-touch management of RAN components to minimize human intervention. Operations such as self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-healing are mandatory to simplify the operation
