DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRY
European Commission proposal
What is this about?
•
Measures that enable all sectors to benefit
from digital innovation:
•
•
•
•
These measures benefit from:
•
•
•
•
For higher value products with "digital inside"
Increased efficiency of processes
Adapted and reshaped business models including
relevant services
A true Digital Single Market
World class broadband, cloud and data
infrastructures
Access to sources of financing
Coordination of various initiatives - MS,
regional, EU
•
Pool resources, avoid fragmentation, support DSM
2
Technologies driving the change
IoT
(physical meets digital)
Embedded software, sensors,
connectivity, actuators, low
power ICT, …
Big data
(value from
knowledge)
Analytics, storage, Cloud
HPC,..
Innovation
Digital in
products,
Transformation
processes and
business models
AI (autonomus systems)
Robotics, automation,
machine learning, selfdriving,..

DIGITISING EUROPEAN INDUSTRY
European Commission proposal

Leadership in digital technologies
value chains
• Target
• Alignment of EU-wide R&I effort, national initiatives and
industrial strategies and
• Focus investments on
•
•
•
Key technologies and their integration across all sectors
Cross-sector digital platforms
Development environment: reference implementation and
experimentation environments in real setting
• The challenge
• Reinforce the role of PPPs as vehicles for EU-wide strategies:
•
•
Key strategic industrial priorities, e.g. The EU Cloud Initiative
Mobilising EU and national investments
• Building on strengths in vertical markets
• Develop Europe's presence in cross sector platforms
•
(IoT, Data, web, consumer,..)
Digital Industrial Platforms are at the core

Platforms – What are we talking about
 Not only:
•
•
Stakeholder groups = Plattform Industrie 4.0, European Technology Platforms (ETPs)
Technological platforms = middleware, reference architectures, toolboxes, …
 More comprehensive:
•
•
•
Economical definition: Multi-sided market gateways creating value by enabling
interactions between two or more complementary customer groups
Innovation definition: Reference architecture/implementation with an innovation
ecosystem triggering broad value creation
Examples - On-line Platforms with proprietary kernels
•
•
•
•
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
Examples – Open Industrial Platforms
=> collaborate on integration – compete on components and functionality
•
•
•
•
AUTOSAR: Standardized architecture for embedded automotive SW and HW easing cooperation
between car manufacturers, suppliers and IT developers
ISOBUS: communication/data exchange between tractors, land machines, mobility and control
SW emerging ecosystem of agricultural OEMs, suppliers, seed companies, IT/big data companies
CRYSTAL: ARTEMIS/ECSEL supported platform for safety-critical systems building on on EU
leadership on safety-/time-critical systems, cutting across rail, automotive, aerospace, health
sector, involving several groups of market actors across the value chains
RAMI, FoF Platforms on factory automation and collaborative manufacturing

Standardized architecture for
embedded automotive HW/SW



Eases cooperation of car manufacturers,
suppliers and tool developers
Facilitates innovation through open
standards
"Cooperate on standards, compete on
implementation"
Success story



Bootstrapped by EU industry
(manufacturers, suppliers)
Worldwide use
Strong framework programme
support (FP6, FP7, ARTEMIS)
Challenges for AUTOSAR



Connected Car
Autonomous Car
Fully electric vehicle
Similar platform in agricultural machinery: ISOBUS
• emerging ecosystem of agricultural OEMs, suppliers, seed companies, IT/big data
• standardise communication/data exchange between tractors, land machines, mobility and control SW
• compete on components and their functionality.

Leadership in digital technologies
value chains
• Target
• European leadership in open digital platforms for industry, and
"technology gateways" that any business can use
• The challenge
• Building on strengths in vertical markets, develop Europe's
presence in cross sector platforms (IoT, Data, web, consumer,..)

Platform building under the
Factories of the Future PPP
Two clusters – 50M€ funding – start end 2016:
• Collaborative manufacturing and logistics: 4 projects
• Novel architectures for factory automation: 5 projects
All projects build digital industrial platforms:
• Reference Implementations of platforms
• Multi-sided market ecosystem
• User-driven proof-of-concept demonstrations and validation in
several different scenarios: 23 use-cases in 15 sectors
• Outline business case and industrial exploitation strategy
including for the platform
• Building on running platform inititiatives like FI-Ware/FITMAN,
RAMI, IIRA, IDS, EMC2, CRYSTAL, ARROWHEAD
• Integrating digital technologies such as CPS, IoT, big data,
robotics, cloud computing

Platforms for Connected Factories of the
Future – Consolidation and Next Steps
ConnectedFactories Support Action
•
•
Led by EFFRA with many of EU's major RTOs
Mapping of Platform Initiatives
• RAMI and related efforts on Member States level
• Platform initiatives cutting across sectors:
FI-WARE, IDS, AIOTI, IIRA, S3P, …
• FoF PPP platforms on collaborative manufacturing and factory automation
• ECSEL innovation pilots: Arrowhead, Crystal, …
•
•
Identify scenarios for digital platforms enabling digital integration and
interoperability of manufacturing systems and processes
Constituency/consensus building: standards, security, business models
Large scale piloting initiative for
"demo digital factories" (under preparation)
•
•
•
Under Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 (up to 100M€)
Pooling funds with other programmes (e.g. MSs) and industry
Consultations with constitutency on-going – eg ConnectedFactories 10
Leadership in digital technologies and platforms
EU-wide effort on next generation technologies and platforms
• Focus, up-scale and further pool R&D&I on core technologies
•
•
EU, MSs, Industry including start-up and SMEs
Today's effort is heavily fragmented
• PPPs to play a key role in setting EU-wide industrial strategies
•
•
•
•
Whole innovation chain: R&D&I, pilot lines, testing, etc..
Connect to national and regional efforts, access to finance
Address technology development + legislation, standardisation, skills
Learning from experience: e.g. ECSEL, HPC, FoF, …
• Further integration into platforms and end products
•
•
Integrating IoT, Data analytics, AI into full products and platforms
Stakeholders across value chains
• Intensify support on cross sectorial platforms
•
•
Across value chains and vertical silos (e.g. Data platforms)
Link to standardisation
