Subscription-Geschäftsmodelle (SGM) spielen eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Monetarisierung von Industrie 4.0 Potenzialen für produzierende Unternehmen. Durch die Vernetzung von Maschinen und digitalen Produkten können dem Kunden völlig neue Leistungen geboten werden, die durch ein rein transaktionsbasiertes Geschäftsmodell nicht möglich wären. Der folgende Beitrag widmet sich der Charakterisierung von Subscription-Geschäftsmodellen und zeigt vier Handlungsfelder auf, die bei ihrer Umsetzung berücksichtigt werden müssen.
The additive manufacturing technique of "Selective Laser Melting" (SLM) provides the basis for a fundamental paradigm shift in industrial spare part manufacturing, affecting both technological and organizational company prac-tices. To harness the full potential of SLM-technology, considering agility and customizability, decentralized additive production networks need to be estab-lished. According to the principles just in time, just in place and just enough, a global online platform, which efficiently distributes construction orders to local manufacturing hubs could empower the market participants to utilize production capacities at optimal costs and minimal efforts. This work evaluates and selects key factors and creates scenarios for the development of platform-based networks for additive, SLM-based, spare part production. For this purpose, the selected key factors (e. g. material expenses, quality and process management and platform-based business models) are projected into the future, forming the three major scenarios "New distribution of roles in the SLM value chain", "SLM-technology for high wage countries" and "Individualization instead of mass production". These scenarios not only allow estimating the potential of an online network for additive spare part production, but also enable market participants to react pur-posively and agilely to unexpected market developments, and to foster the suc-cess of a platform-based additive spare part production.
KVD-Service-Studie 2018
(2018)
Digitalisierung ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen der heutigen Zeit. Aber die Digitalisierung rein technisch zu betrachten, ohne Augenmerk auf die Unternehmenskultur zu legen, wird dazu führen, dass Unternehmen die Potenziale der Digitalisierung nicht vollständig realisieren können. Wer weiterhin wettbewerbsfähig sein will, muss den Wert der Digitalisierung erkennen und sie für sein Unternehmen nutzbar machen. Aber welche Auswirkungen ergeben sich daraus für die Serviceorganisation? Um den aktuellen Stand der digitalen Kultur im Service zu erfassen, die Dimensionen zu verstehen und einen Weg für Unternehmen aufzuzeigen, liegt der Schwerpunkt der diesjährigen Service-Studie, die vom KVD zusammen mit dem FIR durchgeführt wurde, auf dem Themenkomplex Digitale Service-Kultur.
Monetizing Industry 4.0: Design Principles for Subscription Business in the Manufacturing Industry
(2019)
Subscription business models have a major role for monetizing products and services for manufacturing companies in the age of Industry 4.0. As the manufacturing industry has difficulties generating revenues through digitalization, the implementation of innovative business models are essential to remain successful. Physical assets are often capital-intensive and require a more complex manufacturing process than subscription business models. Moreover, subscription models can focus on the individual customer benefit and a consistent service transformation, constituting a unique selling proposition and a competitive advantage. Hence, the following paper provides a management model that enables manufacturing companies to successfully realize the transformation towards a subscription business model. The management model presents four major fields of action, each matched with one design principle that must be considered when dealing with subscription models in the manufacturing industry. These principles were determined by an in-depth case study analysis among various manufacturing companies. Opportunities, challenges and recommendations for action were then systematically derived and integrated into the management model.
The rapid developments in information and communication technology enable new bus iness models that are based on digital platforms. Marketplaces such as Amazon or Airbnb have already adapted this business model to connect previously unconnected supply-side and demand-side to conduct a business transaction via a digital platform. Due to Industrie 4.0 and the rapid technological development that comes with it, digital platforms have entered the market within the area of the mechanical engineering. Different platform types exist, such as marketplaces for machine equipment or digital data platforms for connected machines. Although numerous companies claim to offer platform-based bus iness models, they often lack knowledge on individual business model components. To close this gap, this paper structures a variety of existing platforms based on their detail characteristics. Within this paper, existing typologies of digital platforms from other industry areas are analyzed. Case study research ofplatforms within the mechanical engineering is used to adjust these typologies and create a new one for digital platforms within the mechanical engineering.
In the food industry, a very large potential of data ecosystems is seen, in which data is understood, exchanged and monetized as an economic asset. However, despite the enormous economic potential, companies in the food industry continue to rely on traditional, product-oriented business models. Existing data in the value chain of industrial food production, e.g., in harvesting, logistics, and production processes, is primarily used for internal optimization and is not monetized in the form of data products. Especially the pricing of data products is a key challenge for data-based business models due to their special characteristics compared to conventional, analog offerings and multiple design options. The goal of this work is therefore to solve this issue by developing a framework that allows the identification of pricing models for data products in the industrial food production. For this purpose, following the procedure of typology formation, essential design parameters and the respective characteristics are derived. Furthermore, three types for pricing models of data products are shown. The results will serve not only stakeholders in the food industry but also manufacturing companies in general as input for an orientation of their databased business models.
Industrial food production represents one of the largest industries, accounting for a share of ten percent of the world’s gross domestic product. Simultaneously, it is responsible for 26 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Due to increasing CO2 taxes and population’s call for sustainability and CO2 reduction, it is facing challenges in terms of economic profitability and stakeholder demands. These challenges could partly be overcome by participating in data ecosystems in which data are refined as data products, understood, exchanged and monetized as economic goods. Despite large amounts of data, collected parenthetically along the value chain in food production, potentials of data analytics and data ecosystems are only marginally exploited. Food production mainly focuses on traditional, product-centric business models. This work shows the conceptualization of a data ecosystem for food production, enabling data-based business models. Therefore, resources, ac- tors, roles and underlying relationships of future ecosystem are analyzed. Building on these, corresponding architectural and analytical artifacts that support data ecosystem exploitation are presented. A food production data ecosystem is exemplified by applying data analytics to compressor data, which reveals high potentials for CO2 reduction.
Das Projekt LBM²-Load Based Monitoring and Maintenance erforschte die Einsatzfähigkeit einer kostengünstigen Lastsensorik zur Messung und Analyse von Restlebensdauerdaten für Großkomponenten an Windenergieanalgen (WEA). Da aktuell im Einsatz befindliche Condition-Monitoring-Systeme zur Überwachung von WEA oft teuer in der Anschaffung sind und lediglich vergangenheitsorientierte Informationen liefern, sobald ein kritischer Zustand bereits eingetreten ist, besteht der Bedarf insbesondere für KMU in der WEA-Branche für eine kostengünstige, proaktive Alternative. Hierzu wird im Projekt LBM² der Einsatz einer kostengünstigen, auf Dehnungsmessstreifen basierenden Messtechnologie erforscht, die über einen langen Zeitraum in einem Testwindpark betrieben wird. Die Erkenntnisse zu den Herausforderungen in der Spezifikation der Messtechnologie für den WEA-Typ sowie in der kontinuierlichen Datenerfassung und –auswertung adressieren ein aktuell hochrelevantes Themenfeld. Die Implikationen der Erkenntnisse gehen damit weit über die Branche der Windenergie hinaus. Mittels der gewonnenen Daten über die Lasten bzw. Restlebensdauern von Großkomponenten der WEA (z.B. Getriebe, Hauptwelle oder Hauptlager) wurden zudem deren Einsatzpotenziale für eine proaktivere, vorausschauende Instandhaltung von WEA untersucht. Die Instandhaltung ist der Hauptkostentreiber im Betrieb einer WEA und bietet demnach großes Potenzial für einen kosteneffizienteren Betrieb, der speziell für KMU in einem umkämpften Strommarkt mit wegfallenden EEG-Zulagen notwendig ist. Hierzu wurden im Projekt LBM² Instandhaltungsprozesse für WEA-Großkomponenten aufgenommen. Diese wurden in einer Simulationsumgebung hinsichtlich verschiedener, kosteneffizienter Instandhaltungsstrategien untersucht. Dazu wurde der Einfluss von Restlebensdauern auf spezifische Instandhaltungsstrategien abgebildet. Weiterhin wurden die Projektergebnisse in einen Softwaredemonstrator überführt, der den Anwendern und speziell KMU eine Möglichkeit an die Hand gibt, die Daten der kostengünstigen Lastsensorik in Zukunft übersichtlich visualisiert und mit relevanten Handlungsempfehlungen für eine optimierte Instandhaltung hinterlegt zu nutzen.
