Future Cyber-Physical Systems Platforms

Road2CPS / CONNECT A3 Workshop

Turin, 8 October 2015

Why this workshop?

• ARTEMIS community works on key nodes of the digital value chains of the future: safety-critical and real-time systems

• The ones who master and control these nodes will have a competitive advantage

• Europe needs to prepare

2

Strategy:Products, Processes and Business models

3

"Digital inside": Innovations in all types of products• Smart connected objects powered by Sensors, wearables, embedded

software, Connectivity, Big data, Cloud … • Large opportunities in all sectors (Non-tech, high-tech, SMEs, etc)

Digital transformations of processes• From logistics and product design to automation

Increasing resource efficiency, productivity, .. Build on CPS, IoT, digital design, big data,..

Radical/disruptive changes in business models• Blurring the boundaries (products-services), reshuffling value chains

XaaS, 3D Printing & customisation, CRMs, maintenance added value services Built on real time information, data analytics, etc.

• Lack of standards and interoperable solutions

• New competition from non-EU digital platform

owners

• Fragmentation of effort in Europe

Digital transformation of industry: What is the situation?

Strong digitisation in high tech industries and in some Member States.

But:

4

Digitising European Industry:Proposal for four key lines of action

5

Topic of the Day

Action Line 2:Leadership in digital platforms for industry

Appropriate Instruments:• ECSEL Pilot Projects (yearly calls)

• PPP Work Programmes, e.g. FoF

• I4MS and alike

Estimated EU-level investment (5yrs): - At least 1 B€ through H2020- Leveraging up to 3B€ in total

Platform: What are we talking about?

• Not: Stakeholder groups: Industrie 4.0, European Technology Platforms

• Not: Technological platforms (Middleware, reference architectures, …)

• Instead: Economical multi-sided market platforms creating value by enabling interactions between two or more customer groups (often including the above) • Google:

People who search advertisers• Apple/Android:

People who buy a phone developers of apps• Amazon Marketplace:

People who search a product companies selling products

Platforms for connected Factories of the Future, Brussels, 5-6 Oct 2015

• Title: Platforms for connected Factories of the Future

• 5-6 October, 50 attendees

• Presentation of platform ideas in the plenary

• Structured discussion in working groups

• reporting back in plenary

• report will be ready by 20th October 2015

• Some of you attended

From the discussions I

Goal of platform: reduce complexity

Risks: loss of independence

Opportunity: sharing of knowledge

Who should be involved: big automation industry (Siemens, ABB, Schneider Honeywell..), IT system integrator, machine manufacturers, SW and application developer

13

From the discussions II

Scope: 1. Network based PLC control system2. PLM platform3. Product-Process- Automation platformAlternative: safety critical operating systems; semantics, ontologies, taxonomies

How to cooperate?• Roles of companies• Guiding function of platforms: Eco-system grow around platforms

Positioning in global context • RAMI has extra requirements for manufacturing • IIRA of the Industrial Internet Consortium is not specific enough, but

compatible

14

My take

• Several platforms include approaches for reference architectures

• Concepts are different with varying level of maturity

• Activities in DE appear to be intense: Digital Fort Knox, Industrial

Data Space, Reference Architectures RAMI

• Also NL, FR, ES , FI, SE and AT are active amongst others

• European Manufacturers Association EFFRA is active

• Discussion on the ideal platform concept has not been conclusive

Where does Europe stand?

Strengths• Professional and vertical markets (products, services, engineering)

─ E.g. energy, machinery, machine tools, auto, aero, health …• World class research & development hubs• Large EU market (~27% of world ICT market)

Weaknesses• Consumer markets, Internet and web products and services, data

platforms' ownership• Structural weaknesses, e.g. no Digital Single Market yet, insufficient

investment in R&D&I

Opportunities• High growth "Smart X" and IoT markets• High growth of vertical markets!!• Next digital champions may come from "non-digital" industries

17

Characteristics of platforms

• Product or platform?• A product is largely proprietary and under one company’s control• An industry platform is a foundation technology or service that

enables an interdependent ecosystem of businesses (Gemini 4.0: development space for business models)

• The platform requires complementary innovations (created by the "complementors")

• Open or closed?• Some level of openness is necessary to enable complementors

(developers) to interact with the platform, e.g.• API's (Application Programming Interface)• SDK (Software Development Kit)

• Necessary to go through standardisation?• Some platforms are based on standards, others are not• Alternative: "quasi"-standardisation

• by strong market actors or groups of actors • model of the successful on-line platform actors• Standardisation limited to interoperability with other platforms – if at all
