LASHARE has met to resume the start of the new assessments. The meeting took place in Aachen at the end of the year with a special workshop on cross sectional activities. The initialisation reports that the first assessments started to write collated a need for activity in the area of ICT. Many equipment providers today collect data from additional sensors but mostly, the data remains unused. Thus, the plan to establish a new CSA on data evaluation in the context of industrial digitisation was agreed. Preparations start immediately to pull information from the current initialisation phase and to feed them forward to the Y3 meeting of the consortium which is scheduled for the beginning of May 2017.
