Research

The research activities and projects by Elisa Negri relate to the impact on production planning and control of smart manufacturing and the digital technologies of the Industry 4.0. In particular: - from the planning side, she is interested in new approaches for scheduling and new uses of simulation of production systems, especially related to the Digital Twin paradigm. - From the control side, in addition to analysing the benefits brought by Digital Twins, she investigates the open automation paradigm and its relation to the MES systems, in this way focussing on topics related to ICT for manufacturing. Moreover, she is interested in understanding the production benefits brought by the use of innovative data models and structures, such as ontologies, applied both to the planning side and to the control side of the production planning and control cycle.
