INEVITABLE project deals with multiple technologies/solutions applied for each use case. The present document constitutes the deliverable D4.1, which summarizes the work done in WP4, specifically in Task 4.1, where process and sensor data needed to implement the final solutions were analysed. The work undertaken is reported on a UC basis, including following information:

• The possible need of preliminary validation of the information coming from new sensors and its capability to describe the physical process currently going on in the plant.
• Reference to requirements for data extraction and gathering from data bases, as well as to artificial intelligence tools selected for data mining.
• Identification of relevant correlations among process parameters and control indexes (castability, internal quality, productivity…) utilizing principles of data mining and cause-effect analyses.
