Okay, let's start from the project, I mean, let's start from something everybody is familiar with. A cell phone, a smart phone, everybody knows that. Forget about the box, what is inside is important. What it makes work the phone is a handful of small black boxes like this one.
Each of them includes hundreds of millions or billions, in this case tens of billions, of a small component transistor, each of which is smaller than a virus. To produce them in large volume at a cost low enough to make a smart phone affordable to everybody,
we need not only manufacturing but manufacturing science. That is what the improved project is about. You asked me which are the results. We already obtained the first result, for example, in my company,
just by applying the principle of preventive maintenance to the equipment we use for demonstration, we saved 10% in operating cost. That was just the demonstration in the last three months of the project. Now we are planning all the six manufacturing companies involved are deploying this principle to their lines
and we expect to have much larger advantages in the future. But I think that is just the first step, the appetizer of the story. We have seen how much we can do with manufacturing science and the partner, now we are 35, not more than 30, have decided to submit another proposal for the next ENYA call to extend further the manufacturing science principle to other sectors of semiconductor manufacturing.
The purpose is to keep manufacturing in Europe. We cannot compete on cost of labor, it is not important for the tech industry. We cannot compete on industrial investment for industry, because we cannot compete with Asia with that. But we can compete on efficiency and that is our target.
