The present document constitutes the deliverable D6.1 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 operating profit that industrial plants can achieve by digitalizing selected processes. Industrial and environmental benefits will be monitored in parallel to the social acceptance. The deliverable D6.1 contains details on the activities of Task 6.1 of WP6, where process improvement suggestions are translated to economic benefits based on the evolution of the corresponding KPIs identified in WP2 for each UC. It should be mentioned that this Deliverable will be re-published again in M42 as D6.2. The current document reflects the work done from M24 to M33. A common working space has been created in the MS Teams platform to monitor KPIs related to the environment and the process, and to visualize the results of the conducted surveys among industrial partners’ staffs.
