AIRISE Project: AI applications for smarter, more sustainable manufacturing

The European project AIRISE (AI Application Experiments in Manufacturing) aims to support European SMEs in adopting Artificial Intelligence technologies applied to manufacturing, with a specific focus on AI-enabled applications at the edge.

The initiative, funded by the Horizon Europe program and coordinated by the University of Patras (Greece), brings together a consortium of technology centers, universities and industrial companies from across Europe — including LORTEK, which contributes its expertise in advanced manufacturing and industrial digitalization.

The goal of AIRISE is clear: to reduce waste and carbon footprint while ensuring more efficient, sustainable and resilient production processes. To achieve this, the project will develop a collaborative ecosystem where AI experts will support experimental SMEs and connect them with Digital Innovation Hubs and commercial companies, promoting the transfer of solutions into real-world manufacturing environments.

AIRISE represents a decisive step towards the democratization of AI use in industry, facilitating its practical integration into production processes and contributing to Europe’s digital transformation and industrial sustainability goals.
