Building the Future of Manufacturing-as-a-Service
Tec4MaaSEs is building an open Manufacturing-as-a-Service ecosystem where providers and consumers collaborate through intelligent value network orchestration, Digital Twin-based supply chain visibility, and trusted data governance.
The project enables:
- Service composition across distributed manufacturing networks
- Interoperable and resilient manufacturing ecosystems
- Trusted collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers and platform operators
As part of the Horizon Europe Tec4MaaSEs project, SmartOpt contributes the AI-driven forecasting layer, enabling demand-responsive manufacturing planning across the value network.
Pilot validation activities are currently ongoing across multiple industrial domains.

Data is everywhere.
But turning it into real business value is the real challenge.
Organizations today don’t struggle with a lack of data. They struggle with complexity, uncertainty, and making the right decisions at the right time.
At SmartOpt, we focus on what comes next.
We combine artificial intelligence with advanced optimization to transform data into decisions, reduce complexity, and create measurable impact across operations.
Because real value is not created by collecting data. It is created by using it intelligently.

AI has made prediction more accessible than ever but prediction alone doesn’t change outcomes.
What truly matters is how those predictions are translated into actions, within real constraints, trade-offs and operational complexity.
That is where optimization comes in.
At SmartOpt, we bring AI and advanced optimization together to bridge the gap between insight and execution, enabling organizations to not only understand what might happen, but to determine the best possible action.
Because in real operations, value is not created by knowing.
It is created by deciding.

Packing complexity shouldn’t limit your logistics performance.
When product constraints, stacking rules, and space utilization challenges come together, traditional packing approaches fall short.
PackOpt, developed by SmartOpt, is designed to turn packing complexity into a competitive advantage.
With advanced 3D packing optimization, PackOpt enables teams to:
• Build constraint-aware packing plans across pallets, trucks, and containers
• Increase space utilization while maintaining weight balance and stability
• Reduce shipment volumes by optimizing packing density
• Prevent damage with rule-based stacking and fragility handling
• Simulate and visualize packing scenarios before execution
PackOpt redefines packing as a strategic planning capability—bringing precision, visibility, and efficiency into every shipment.

New publication by Prof. Dr. Metin Türkay and collaborators.
As artificial intelligence continues to scale across industries, understanding its long-term energy and carbon footprint is becoming increasingly critical.
Prof. Dr. Türkay’s study suggests that AI could account for between 13% and 47% of global electricity consumption by 2050, depending on model scaling, deployment pathways, and electricity system assumptions. The analysis also reveals a striking geographic imbalance where AI is used and where its carbon footprint is generated do not necessarily align.
A timely contribution to the growing discussion on the sustainability of large-scale AI systems, data center infrastructure, and the future energy footprint of the global AI ecosystem.

Production planning today is not only about creating schedules. It is about making faster and smarter decisions in increasingly complex manufacturing environments.
Fluctuating demand, resource constraints and frequent operational changes make traditional planning approaches difficult to sustain. PlanOpt brings intelligence to production planning and scheduling with AI powered optimization and simulation.
With PlanOpt, manufacturers can:
• Generate optimized production plans in seconds
• Improve sequencing and resource utilization
• Run simulations to evaluate alternative scenarios before execution
• Adapt quickly to disruptions, constraints, and real time data
• Reduce bottlenecks and improve operational efficiency
By combining planning, scheduling and simulation, PlanOpt helps teams move from reactive planning to proactive and data driven decision making.
