Zero-enabling smart networked control framework for agile cyber-physical production systems of systems (Zero-SWARM) is a project with a total public-private investment of almost €10 million launched on the 1st of June 2022, aiming to accelerate the uptake of advanced 5G technologies by the European manufacturing sector.

The project aims to achieve climate-neutral and digitized production via a multidisciplinary, human-centric, objective-oriented innovative approach resulting in technical solutions for an open swarm framework, non-public 5G network, active information continuum and digital twin. It establishes a unique forum where separately maturing technologies of 5G and cloud-edge continuum, data technologies and analysis (including data spaces and GAIA-X) and operational technology (automation and agility) break their siloes to co-design co-create through 10 trials.
