Summary on Grant Application Form
This project will develop highly innovative ambient intelligence (AmI) software components to increase significantly the

observability and traceability of systems, human operators (HO's) and environments within the automotive and electronics

manufacturing supply chains, thereby leading to more effective control and monitoring throughout the product supply chain

and operational lifecycle based upon higher levels of intelligence. This knowledge generation capability requires the

deployment of a network of integrated, embedded (within the product and processes) Radio Frequency components and

systems with robust, reliable sensors, autonomous operation, proactive reasoning, learning and social abilities (e.g.

communication, co-operation, conflict resolution and negotiation). The objective of INTELLICO is to demonstrate a

prototype generic network at automotive and electronics manufacturing end users.
