Future Cyber-Physical Systems Platforms Road2CPS / CONNECT A3 Workshop Turin, 8 October 2015 Dr. Werner Steinhögl Programme officer DG CONNECT – A3 European Commission
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
Strategy: Products, Processes and Business models "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.
Digital transformation of industry: What is the situation? Strong digitisation in high tech industries and in some Member States. But: Lack of standards and interoperable solutions New competition from non-EU digital platform owners Fragmentation of effort in Europe
Digitising European Industry: Proposal for four key lines of action 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 Different types of platforms Organisational, technology, operational Open vs. proprietary Sector-specific (vertical) vs. cross-cutting (horizontal) Value creation: "with" the platform and/or "on" the platform Scale: from "niche" platform to broad consumer platforms Platforms on which value is created – on and across levels: Well-being, home, cars (user perspective) Analytics, design & simulation Cloud and web applications (free from vendor-lock-in) Middleware: embedded OSs, IoT, autonomous systems building blocks, Systems of Systems, security frameworks, … Scale-up our efforts by pan-European collaboration ICT PPPs: ICT Platforms + large scale demonstrators (IoT, ECSEL, …) (examples: AUTOSAR, FI-Ware, …) Platforms for the manufacturing sector – from cradle to grave Platform interoperability & standards in Digital Single Market package Platforms supported and adopted across MSs and regions (e.g. Virtual Fort Knox, Digital Factory Operating System, …) Estimated EU-level investment (5yrs): At least 1 B€ through H2020 Leveraging up to 3B€ in total
Convergence of Platforms: Automotive sector example Online Platforms dominated by non-EU Google (search, youtube, gmail, drive, android, …) Criteo Facebook eBay Autonomous Fully electric Amazon Apple Blahblahcar AUTOSAR Embedded Platforms EU with significant global market share
Google Play Appstore/iTunes Trying a map pre-commercial ROS View to value of the ecosystem / direct profit to provider FI-WARE AIOTI IIRA RAMI 4.0 IDS Autosar ISOBUS Virtual Fort Knox Google Brillo Android/IOS "365 farmnet" (Claas) Amazon Ebay Google Play Appstore/iTunes airBnB Uber MyMuesli commercial horizontal sectorial General purpose or for a specific sector Range of users (suppliers/demanders)
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
What happened in Brussels ? – The talks I Existing Platform Activities (Chair: Max Lemke, Clemens Zielonka (EC)) Virtual Fort Knox Thomas Bauernhansl (FhG IPA) BEinCPPS (incl. FITMAN and FI-Ware) Sergio Gusmeroli (Politecnico di Milano) RAMI Peter Adolphs (Pepperl+Fuchs) Industrial Data Space Sören Auer (FhG IAIS) Role of CPS in manufacturing Marco Taisch (Politecnico di Milano) IIRA Sebastian Haag (TU Darmstadt) Logistics Platforms Thorsten Huelsmann (FhG IML) Knowledge is the next platform Herman Bruyninckx (KU Leuven) Platforms in CyProS Dominic Gorecky (DFKI) AIOTI: Platforms and Standardisation Jürgen Heiles (Siemens) Arrowhead Jerker Delsing (LTU, Sweden) Economy 4.0 + Vanguard platforms Egbert-Jan Sol (TNO)
What happened in Brussels ? – The talks II Industrial Platform Approaches (Chair: Željko Pazin (EFFRA)) Siemens Bernd Korves Dassault Systemes François Bichet SAP Uwe Kubach ATOS Silvia Castellvi IBM Friedrich Vollmar Bosch-Rexroth Martin Hankel
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
From the discussions II Scope: 1. Network based PLC control system 2. PLM platform 3. Product-Process- Automation platform Alternative: 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
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
Back up
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
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
