Digital Servitization is one of the significant trends affecting the manufacturing industry. Companies try to tackle challenges regarding their differentiation and profitability using digital services. One specific type of digital services are smart services, which are digital services built on data from smart products. Introducing these kinds of offerings into the portfolio of manufacturing companies is not trivial. Moreover, they require conscious action to align all relevant capabilities to realize the respective business goals. However, what capabilities are generally relevant for smart services remains opaque. We conducted a systematic literature review to identify them and extended the results through an interview study. Our analysis results in 78 capabilities clustered among 12 principles and six dimensions. These results provide significant support for the smart service transformation of manufacturing companies and for structuring the research field of smart services.
Two major trends are driving many companies in the manufacturing industry to rethink and reconfigure their business logic: the trends towards applying a service dominant business logic, and the trends towards collecting and using information about the market life cycle of products. The pursuit of market lifecycle information has lately been one that is driven mostly by tremendous developments in the area of the Internet of Things and information system integration. Companies in the manufacturing industry are reconfiguring their value chains, tending towards a higher degree of service orientation. This transformation requires an understanding of the principles behind offering additional value through industrial product service systems. The design of an adequate information architecture and the subsequent management model are the key factors for a successful implementation. This article focuses on how information gathering, analysis, and the meaningful use of information have been linked to the success of those companies within the German manufacturing industry which have made the transformation towards service-orientation. On the basis of an empirical study, five success factors with a significant impact on either innovation performance and/or operational performance are identified. These findings are enhanced to derive guidelines for an adequate information architecture. The guidelines are underpinned by best practices of prosperous companies with a strong product-service-orientation. Links between best practice application and performance are analyzed, and significant relations are identified.
Nicht zuletzt als Schlüsseltechnologie der digitalen Transformation, sondern vor allem als Enabler einer digitalisierten Wirtschaft ist das Potenzial von 5G eindeutig. Die im Folgenden vorgestellte 5G-Vision verbindet Informations- sowie Anwendungsbedarfe an industriellen 5G-Schnittstellen mit IoT-Anwendungen und ergänzenden Services. Durch die Einbindung von 5G als Kommunikationsschnittstelle in IoT-Plattformen können erstmals auch Anwendungen mit hohen Anforderungen an Drahtlos-Übertragungstechnologien an eine IoT-Plattform angebunden werden.
Dabei spiegelt der vorliegende Artikel das aktuelle Stimmungsbild der Industrie hinsichtlich der Einbindung von 5G als Katalysator von IoT-Plattformen wider. Es wird analysiert, wie eine 5G-Einbindung in bereits bestehende IoT-Plattformen gelingen kann und welche Möglichkeiten dadurch zukünftig realisierbar werden. Als Ergebnis werden fünf Potenziale zum Einfluss von 5G auf IoT-Plattformen aufgeführt, mithilfe derer eine Vision eines 5G-Plattformkonzepts abgeleitet wird.
Zentrale Triebkräfte wie die Mobilitätswende, die Nachhaltigkeitswende, die Digitalisierung und eine dynamische Veränderung der Arbeitswelt führen zu einschneidenden, notwendigenTransformationsprozessen in der Automobilindustrie. Dabei stellt insbesondere der Wandel hin zur Elektromobilität die Zulieferer umformtechnischer Bauteile des Antriebsstrangs vor existenzielle Herausforderungen und erhöht den Druck, ihre Wertschöpfungsketten und Geschäftsmodelle zukunftsorientiert auszurichten, um weiterhin am Markt bestehen zu können. Genau hier setzt das Forschungsprojekt ‚TuWAs‘ an und dient dem Ziel, konkrete Entscheidungshilfen und Transformationskonzepte für ebenjenen Industriezweig zu erarbeiten und darüber hinaus wichtige Impulse für den Erhalt von Arbeitsplätzen, Know-how und Fertigungsnetzwerke in Deutschland und Europa zu geben. So wird ein signifikanter Beitrag zur erfolgreichen Transformation der betroffenen Unternehmen geleistet.
Digitalization offers enormous opportunities not only to optimize operational processes, but also to redefine creative processes, e.g., in the area of innovation. This is becoming increasingly important in light of the fact that innovation is increasingly taking place in ecosystems, which means that an enormous amount of collaboration must be enabled in distributed and interdisciplinary teams. To be successful in this, innovation teams need easy access to the multitude of methods and assistance in selecting the appropriate method for the specific task. To this end, we propose a classification framework that structures methods from innovation management and service design based on higher-level task areas. The framework was developed and evaluated together with several companies. Results were implemented in the form of a playbook that won the red dot design award.
