Enorme wirtschaftliche Potenziale wurden und werden in diversen Studien beziffert, um den revolutionären Charakter dieser Entwicklung zu unterstreichen.
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 industrial food production is currently caught between the increas-ing demands of numerous stakeholders, economic profitability and the challenges of digitization. A solution to face these various challenges can be seen in the aggregation of data into higher-value, independent data products that can be of-fered and sold on a buyer's market. Large amounts of heterogeneous data are already available in the value chain of the industrial food production, e.g. throughout the data-driven harvesting of primary products, further processing by interconnected production facilities and the information-intensive product distri-bution to end consumers. However, the data is usually only evaluated and used locally for the optimization of internal processes or, at the most, within compre-hensive partnerships. The purpose of this paper is to identify new revenue oppor-tunities for current and future players in the industrial food production by using data as an independent economic good (data products). For this purpose, scenar-ios for the development and use of data products via Industrial Internet of Things platforms are developed for a food technical reference process, the industrial chocolate production and its value chain. On this basis, examples for different types of data products and their value propositions are derived. The results can not only serve food producers and relevant stakeholders but all industrial produc-ers as an input for the future, yield-increasing orientation of their business models.
Smart-Service-Plattformen
(2019)
Smart-Service-Plattformen können einen Lösungsbaustein darstellen, um die steigende Weltbevölkerung ressourcenschonend zu ernähren. Durch die Aggregation von Daten und kontextsensitive datenbasierte Dienstleistungen können Landwirte präzise während der gesamten landwirtschaftlichen Produktion unterstützt werden, um bei gleichbleibender Versorgungsfläche den steigenden Nahrungsmittelbedarf zu decken. Die Entwicklung und der erfolgreiche Betrieb einer Smart-Service-Plattform stellen viele Unternehmen, nicht nur in der Landwirtschaft, jedoch vor große Herausforderungen, da sich die Geschäftsmodelle und -logiken einer Plattform grundlegend von herkömmlichen Produkten unterscheiden. Um Unternehmen praxisnahe Gestaltungsempfehlungen für den Erfolg einer Smart-Service-Plattforum zu geben, wurden für diesen Beitrag insgesamt 25 bereits bestehende Plattformen aus den Bereichen Smart Farming und Smart Production sowie branchenübergreifende Plattformen mittels einer Case-Study-Research hinsichtlich ihres Geschäftsmodells und ihrer jeweiligen Erfolgskriterien untersucht. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen der unterschiedlichen Case-Studys werden insgesamt neun Gestaltungsempfehlungen für den erfolgreichen Betrieb einer Smart-Service-Plattform vorgestellt, die jeweils auf die Besonderheiten der Branche eingehen und so ein umfassendes Bild für den Erfolg einer Smart-Service-Plattform geben.

Today, maintenance exceeds this definition, it is significantly more.
In many companies, it plays the role of an incubator for development
and drives digital transformation forward. The very essence of
Industrie 4.0 is the optimisation of the flow of information within as
well as outside of a company to accelerate the adjustment of company
organisations in the context of increasing competitive pressure.
Because of the variety of interfaces, information and data that
is available as well as its service character, maintenance lends itself easily as the area of choice for a company to make Industrie 4.0 real. Whilst doing so, the aim is not to equip employees with the
latest “gimmick“ for order processment or to be the company with
the highest number of lighthouse projects. Instead, maintenance
ensures reliable and cost-efficient production and, consequently,
the primary creation of added value of the manufacturing company.
Those who were identified as top performers during the “Smart
Maintenance“ consortium benchmarking by FIR at RWTH Aachen
University gain particular useful ideas twice as often as other follower companies directly from staff, thus releasing the right potential.
Information and data help to reach these goals and transfer the
vision of smart maintenance into actual pratice. But what is smart
maintenance exactly and how far along are you in the development
of your individual smart maintenance concept?
Unternehmen, die ihre Prozesse durch maschinelles Lernen unterstützen wollen und hierfür auf externe Dienstleister und Produkte zurückgreifen müssen, fehlen die qualifizierten Anhaltspunkte für die Auswahl eines Machine-Learning-Anbieters.
Aus dieser Motivation heraus ist die vorliegende Marktstudie Industrial Machine Learning entstanden. Sie bietet Unternehmen die Grundlage, eine fundierte Entscheidung für oder gegen den Einsatz von Machine Learning im Unternehmen zu
treffen.
Die Darstellung von realen Usecases in der vorliegenden Marktstudie veranschaulicht die konkrete Anwendbarkeit. Insbesondere damit leistet die Studie ihren Beitrag, das Thema Maschine Learning verständlich und anschaulich darzustellen.
Die Marktstudie bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über unterschiedliche Arten von Anbietern und Lösungsmöglichkeiten.
Ein Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit wird dabei nicht erhoben und wäre für die Zielsetzung nicht angebracht.

Was charakterisiert einen Menschen jenseits seines offensichtlichen Verhaltens und seiner äußeren Gestalt? Wohl nichts so sehr wie seine Bedürfnisse und Wünsche. „Am Ende existiert der Mensch nur durch seine Bedürfnisse“, bringt es der Dichter Friedrich Hebbel überspitzt auf den Punkt. Doch wie sehen diese Bedürfnisse aus?
Smart Service Engineering
(2018)
Global manufacturing companies currently face an increasingly turbulent economic environment known as the "VUCA-world" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity). After the transformation of many companies from product to solution providers in the last 15-20 years, the focus of many corporate change processes is on digital solutions such as data-driven services. In this context, service development is of particular relevance for industrial services. Companies develop digital strategies and try to maximize the added value for their customers, by offering, for example, smart services. They are based on smart products, which are connected to the internet, interact with their environment and gather environmental data. The collected data sets are combined with other easily accessible information and processed into so-called smart data. Based on this smart data, smart services are designed. They can be defined as individualized combinations of physical and digital services. They generate added value for providers and customers and offer context-related and demand-oriented value via digital platforms. The contribution of this paper to this research field of data-driven services is a service engineering approach for industrial smart services.
Since the 1990s, service engineering has established itself as a systematic process for the development of services. Currently existing service engineering processes are based on engineering science and business model innovation toolsets. However, the increasing digital components in service engineering reveal deficits in the direct application of the classical methods of service engineering to smart services. We suggest that the successful development and implementation of smart services requires a more agile service engineering process. Studies show that companies who develop services successfully (top-performer) act up to six times faster than those with less success (follower). They involve customers in the first running prototype of their digital service to increase customer centricity and focus their development activities on core functionalities of the service to reduce its development time and test it early with customers.
To strengthen the successful development pf data-driven services in future industrial service development projects, this paper contributes to a more agile service engineering approach. Smart service engineering combines elements of linear phase models and implements agile and customer-centric findings to decrease the overall development time by focussing on core functionalities that offer a high value for customers. The paper focuses on the service development steps and presents strategic scenarios for smart service engineering. It presents the interaction and interconnection of different elements of smart services based on a case study research. In addition to this, it illustrates the implications of a customer-centric engineering approach and possible strategic decisions based on the customer feedback. The paper focuses on the successful application of the smart service engineering approach and its impact in a German medium-size company in the textile machine industry.
