By creating standardized exchange formats and interfaces, manufacturing routes can also be set up automatically across company boundaries. A continuous process chain in the sense of spatial proximity is then no longer an absolute necessity, and compatibility problems can also be avoided when linking several production plants. Another resilience aspect is the tolerance of the production network to the failure of individual plant components or to widely varying process times. These effects can be compensated for if manufacturing routes are decentralized in a targeted manner, as illustrated in the island structure of the research platform. The digital twins for product, material, process and production network ensure predictability as to what effects the variable coupling of several production plants will have on the component properties.
