FIT4U project aims at developing a
New engineering framework for both products & processes
integrating:
new functional devices for consumer personalization
new design technologies
advanced materials
new consumer differentiated production technologies
targeting in particular the safety and sport footwear and accessories sectors
FIT4U Project Main Goals

FIT4U Project Concept and Objectives
New competitive strategies based on new industrial paradigms and on new consumer centred products capabilities must be conceived and developed.
Specific addressed consumer oriented market segments will be footwear and accessories, particularly gloves for professional, free time, and sport (outdoor/trekking) activities, with major focus on differentiated consumer-centred products in order to provide:
• comfort, safety, health, well being • new functionalities/services to the consumer• environmental friendly products
Professional Safety
Free time Sport
Footwear Gloves

WHY - Needs and demands from market and sectors
Consumer needs: major correspondence from a
Geometric point of view (safety-sport): ergonomics and comfort (overall and footbed)
Functional (safety-sport): product with right features for the application/use (sole performance, lightness, material advanced features)
Companies ask for:
Capability of being closer to the consumer geometrical and functional needs, but finding “affordable” solutions
Need for new solutions for functional customization but
Find solutions which are “compatible” with everyday production processes

Problems addressed: diabetic footwear
1. Health care problems
(biomechanical and biomedical
aspects)
2. Footwear design problems ( new
design technologies)
3. Footwear product problems
(comfort, health welfare and
service to customers)
4. Footwear components and
materials problem (eco-
sustainability and high performing
materials)
5. Footwear manufacture problems
(adaptive production processes
and engineering framework)

DIABETIC FEET
10
Social and economic need: DIABETIC FEET
250 million people around the world have diabetes
more than 5% of diabetic patients will have a history of foot ulcers
up to 85% of amputations are preceded by foot ulcers
there is a potential new global market for personalised shoes for diabetics estimated for about 80 million users

A-FOOTPRINT
The objectives of the project are:
•To improve the accuracy of clinical prescriptions for customised foot and ankle orthoses;
•To improve the fit and functionality;
•To significantly decrease manufacture time to 48 hours;
•To develop a cost-effective, fully integrated orthotic solution,
•To disseminate and demonstrate the results widely among multiple end-users to exploit the benefits for SME partners.
14
A-FOOTPRINT
Expected Results
•To develop a software based Patient Information System;
•To develop Computer Aided Design (CAD) software;
•To develop optimisation software routines;
•To evaluate, benchmark and develop rapid manufacturing techniques;
•To integrate these results to produce a fully integrated orthotic design and manufacturing solution with prototype devices,
•To address important health and policy objectives.

Multidisciplinary approach: biomechanics, sports, health, electronics, materials, ICT, manufacturing
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER COLLABORATION
16
R&D Objectives (1/2)
To create an international IMS community that will discuss aspects, disseminate knowledge and initiate new actions along the following four main areas:
User centred specialised footwear and components conception requires the understanding of consumer needs and requirements and consumer interaction in the product creation phase.
advanced technologies for body acquisition, standards for consumer data management, methodologies and tools for product personalization and co-design, algorythms to transform biomechanical data into product features,
Footwear product personalization to design, encapsulate and evaluate aesthetic and emotional aspects, as well as functional and operational features of the product.
KB-CAD tools with advanced functionalities for product multi-criteria evaluation, simulation and performance assessment
embedded smart devices
17
R&D Objectives (2/2)
Advanced sustainable materials by covering:
aspects of performance/functionality/comfort – so targeting consumer needs and requirements
aspects of eco-compatibility and sustainability – so reducing/eliminating the environmental impact .
Rapid production technologies, flexible manufacturing systems and advanced-integrated ICT solutions play a key role in efficient and cost effective production of heterogeneous user centred products.
Advanced rapid production techniques, for added value multipurpose processing,
Integrated ICT tools for extended networks of SMEs
new flexible logistic systems and manufacturing cells/lines, capable to handle and to adapt to continuous production changes.
overall production flow and data dispatching, both at enterprise and at shop-floor levels.
18
Planned Work, Resources and Timing
Set up of thematic investigation lines and dedicated working groups for each R&D Area
Activity 1 - Discussion Forum on Customization and Production Paradigms for User centred footwear products
This activity involves the deployment of forums and initiatives, exploiting strongly internet based facilities, to allow the community to share information and discuss various described topics related to Customization and Production Paradigms for User centred products.
Activity 2 - Workshops & Dissemination
International workshops are planned during the period of this initiative. Furthermore, members of the initiative will organize sessions in known relevant conferences, special issues in scientific journals, etc.
19
Planned Work, Resources and Timing
Activity 3 - Targeted experts exchanges
This activity involves visits of experts to other’s places with concrete targets, for example: common work on a specific task of a project of the hosting organization, writing of a common paper, preparation of a new project, etc.
Activity 4 - Common R&D activities
Common R&D activities on Technologies and Paradigms for Customization and Production of Healthy and Sustainable Footwear Consumer centred Products will be identified and addressed among different IMS regions.
