The European Target-X project is launching its second open call to strengthen important economic sectors in Europe by integrating 5G and 6G, accelerating the digital transformation. The call stresses the importance of establishing a sustainable business framework, unlocking new market prospects and providing financial support up to €60,000 per entity.

Marposs is actively involved in the research project, led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) in Aachen. The project’s objective is to conduct validation tests for new technologies in both 5G and its successor, 6G. Collaborating with other partners, Marposs has identified different applications within existing experimental test environments in both Germany and Spain.

In the automotive sector, the project focuses on studies related to digital twin vehicles, co-operative perception, autonomous or remote driving, and the prediction of quality of service (QoS) in real-world scenarios. Meanwhile, in the industrial manufacturing sector, research lines initiated in previous projects continue, involving partners to integrate real-time technologies with cutting-edge cloud architectures. This integration aims to create more efficient and sophisticated digital twins of robots and machine tools.

The project aims to explore the potential of 5G and 6G technologies in realistic environments within end-user industries through demonstrations and experimental evaluations. Notably, the focus includes examining the impact of network and digital-twin integration on real-time communications, localisation, tracking and interactivity. The assessment also considers sustainability, security and privacy metrics for the solutions under test, contributing to the development of a framework for evaluating the economic and social effects of potential new business models emerging from the use of these advanced technologies.
