DigiMach: Digital Transformation of the Machining Value Chain for Sustainable Growth

Department of Advanced Computing Sciences (DACS)

DigiMach is a transnational 3-year collaborative approach that will transform manufacturing across the Meuse-Rhine region by bringing AI, IoT and robotics to small and medium-sized enterprises in the machining sector. The project will assist more than 150 SMEs to adopt smart, digital tools, through hands-on pilot projects, training and a multilingual knowledge-sharing platform. By boosting operational efficiency, cutting costs and enabling data-driven decision-making, DigiMach ensures that critical skills and expertise are preserved while positioning the region as a hub for advanced, sustainable manufacturing.

Our team at the Department of Advanced Computing Sciences (DACS), one of the 3 participating departments at Maastricht University, consists of 3 researchers who are also Principal Investigators of the project.
