The present document constitutes the deliverable D6.5 of the SPIRE project titled “Optimization and performance improving in metal industry by digital technologies” (Project Acronym: INEVITABLE; Grant agreement no.: 869815 [1]).

The goal of WP6 is to verify the operating benefits that industrial plants can achieve by digitalizing selected processes. Industrial and environmental benefits will be monitored in parallel to the social acceptance. The deliverable D6.5 contains details on the activities of Task 6.3 of WP6 concerning the co-creation and validation of the newly developed and implemented sensors and decision support systems (DSS). A common working space has been created in the MS Teams platform to visualize the results of the conducted surveys among industrial partners’ staffs, and also to monitor KPIs related to the environment and the process (D6.3 and D6.1 respectively), which is part of the work to be also done in WP6.
