AI, Automation and Digital Twin Innovations within IPCEI-CIS: Highlights from Adeptic Reply’s Webinars

Between October 29 and November 18, Adeptic Reply hosted a three-part technical webinars outlining key advancements developed within the IPCEI-CIS (Important Project of Common European Interest – Cloud Infrastructure and Services) initiative. The sessions highlighted concrete progress in AI-enabled network automation, cloud-edge orchestration, and digital twin–based robotic interoperability. 

1) AI-Enhanced Multi-Vendor Access Network Provisioning – October 29
In the first webinar, Riccardo Malpiedi illustrated how AI techniques are being applied to streamline provisioning in heterogeneous fiber access networks. The presentation focused on the automation of configuration workflows, reduction of operational overhead, and mitigation of interoperability constraints inherent to multi-vendor environments. 
The solutions showcased demonstrated how machine learning–driven orchestration can achieve vendor-neutral provisioning, accelerate deployment cycles, and reduce the risk of vendor lock-in. 


2) AI-Native Orchestration for Federated Cloud-Edge Infrastructures – October 30
On October 30, Andrea Formisano introduced the AI-native orchestration platform developed within IPCEI-CIS. The session presented four coordinated intelligent agents supporting intent-driven operations, automated resource allocation, network slicing and autonomous configuration across distributed cloud-edge infrastructures.
These capabilities contribute to the creation of federated, interoperable and sustainable European digital ecosystems, reinforcing strategic autonomy in network and service operations.
 

3) Digital Twin Simulation for Multi-Robot Interoperability  – November 18 
The final webinar, held on November 18 and presented by Marco Bardanzellu, focused on the digital twin simulation environment designed to validate multi-robot coordination mechanisms. The platform enables the emulation of robotic systems, APIs and operational scenarios, supporting integration testing even in the absence of physical hardware. 
The digital twin approach improves safety, speeds up  development, and addresses interoperability challenges across heterogeneous AGVs and robotic platforms, enabling a unified, cross-vendor collaboration framework. 

Overall, the three webinars highlighted tangible progress in AI-driven automation, autonomous network operations, and digital twin technologies. These results strengthen the IPCEI-CIS goals of building scalable, interoperable, and sustainable infrastructures, contributing to Europe’s long-term technological sovereignty.
