The aim of the PSYMBIOSYS project is to improve competitiveness in the European manufacturing sector by developing an environment for product/service engineering innovation based on five dichotomous concepts (design/product, product/service), knowledge/emotion, EdA/SoA, business/innovation). Thanks to this, time-to-market is drastically reduced for product/service solutions. This is a new form of collaboration in the value chain that enables mutually beneficial relationships to be established between all stakeholders involved.
THE ROLE OF THE INNOVALIA ASSOCIATION
The Innovalia Association leads the development of engineering/manufacturing symbiotic multidirectional collaboration with the aim of extending it to the product life cycle. It also participates in the other four symbiotic areas of development on manufacturing aspects. Innovalia is also the partner and IT developer of the industrial case study related to implementing product/service business models in the cutting tools manufacturing sector (where NECO is the end user). The Innovalia Association also leads the implementation of innovation and management of the project through the design and implementation of a work plan and activities that guarantee the visibility of the results in the entire value chain. Finally, Innovalia acts as the main contact for SMEs through the use of its networks such as the I4MS community, the DBI and EFFRA in order to reach industrial stakeholders interested in the product service ecosystem.
