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.
Die Zukunftspotenziale der digitalen Technologie könnten den Dienstleistungssektor entscheidend transformieren und damit der schrumpfenden Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen Wirtschaft neuen Schwung verleihen.
Das Schiff des Wirtschaftsstandorts Deutschland schwankt in rauer werdender See. Es schwankt weniger, weil die traditionellen deutschen Wertschöpfungssäulen (insbesondere die Flaggschiffe Automobil- und Maschinenbau sowie Chemie- und Logistikindustrie) hierzulande an Know how eingebüßt hätten; es sind vielmehr die großen Technologiedurchbrüche der letzten Jahrzehnte, die die deutschen Tugenden, welche mehr als ein Jahrhundert lang für einen Spitzenplatz unter den großen Wirtschaftsmächten gesorgt haben, drastisch an Bedeutung verlieren lassen. Perfektionismus, Verarbeitungsqualität, Zuverlässigkeit und Langlebigkeit von Produkten aller Art sicherten der deutschen Wirtschaft über viele Jahrzehnte hinweg internationales Ansehen. Das führte allerdings zu einer gewissen Selbstzufriedenheit, die die eigene Spitzenposition in der Welt als Selbstläufer ansah. Verliebt in die eigene Perfektion (der Strategieberater und Blogger Sascha Lobo spricht plakativ von einer „Spaltmaßfixierung“ ganzer Wirtschaftszweige) und an permanenter rein inkrementeller Innovation orientiert, hinkt Deutschland auf wichtigen Gebieten der künftigen Wertschöpfungsfelder dem Wettbewerb gefährlich hinterher – insbesondere auf dem für die Zukunft entscheidenden Technologiegebiet der Digitalisierung.
Industry 4.0 and Smart Maintenance represent a great opportunity to make manufacturing and maintenance more effective, safer, and reliable. However, they also represent massive change and corresponding challenges for industrial companies, as many different options and starting points have to be weighed and the individual right paths for achieving Smart Maintenance need to be identified. In our paper, we describe our approach to evaluating maintenance organizations in a case study for the oil and gas industry, developing a shared vision for the future, and deriving economical and effective measures. We will demonstrate our approach, by showcasing a specific example from the oil and gas industry, where a need for action on HSE-relevant critical flanges in the company's piping systems was identified. We describe the steps, that were taken to identify the need for action, the specifications of the project and the criticality analysis of the piping system. This resulted in the derivation of a digitalization measure for critical flanges, which was first commercially analyzed and then the flanges were equipped with a continuous monitoring solution. Finally, a conclusion is drawn on the performed procedure and the achieved improvements.
Electricity generated by wind turbines (WT) is a mainstay of the transition to renewable energy. In order to economically utilize WT is, operating and maintenance costs, which account for 25% of total electricity generation costs in onshore WT’s, are a focus of cost reduction activities. Implementing a data-driven prescriptive maintenance approach is one way to achieve this. So far, various approaches for prescriptive maintenance for onshore WT’s have been suggested.
However, little research has addressed the practical implementation considering sociotechnical aspects. The aim of this paper is therefore to identify success factors for the successful implementation of such a maintenance strategy with clear and holistic guidance on how existing knowledge on prescriptive maintenance from science can be transferred to business practice. These recommendations are developed through case study research and classified in the four structural areas of Acatech’s Industry 4.0 Maturity Index: Resources, Information Systems, Organizational Structure and Culture.
Towards a Methodology to Determine Intersubjective Data Values in Industrial Business Activities
(2021)
This paper contributes to a valuation framework for valuing data as an intangible asset. Especially those industrial manufacturers developing and delivering holistic digital solutions are limited in calculating the true business value of data initiatives. Since the value of data is strongly dependent on the respective use case, a completely objective valuation is not possible. This complicates decision-making on the internal side regarding investments in digital transformation, and on the external side to communicate existing benefits to third parties via financial reporting. Therefore, the target is to design a valuation framework that allows industrial manufacturers to determine an intersubjective, i.e., traceable and transparent, data value. In order to develop a framework that can be applied in practice, the approach is based on industrial case study research.
"New Service-Work"
(2021)
Durch die Corona-Krise befinden wir uns auf einmal alle in einer völlig neuen Arbeitswelt. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit waren Unternehmen im Service gezwungen, Antworten für – vielleicht auch manchmal schon länger bestehende Fragen – rund um das Thema „New Work“ zu finden. Daher hat sich der KVD in den vergangenen Monaten im Rahmen einer ausgewiesenen Expertenrunde aus Praxis und Forschung mit dem Thema „New Service-Work“ auseinandergesetzt. Vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Herausforderungen haben wir die zentralen Handlungsfelder für die Umsetzung dieser neuen Arbeitswelt einmal intensiver beleuchtet. In über 25 digitalen Treffen wurden die Chancen, Risiken oder auch Hemmnisse zu den jeweiligen Handlungsfeldern intensiv diskutiert und aufbereitet. Mit einigen aktuellen, innovativen Lösungsansätzen aus unseren Mitgliedsunternehmen hoffen wir, auch Ihnen erste Hinweise oder Impulse geben zu können, wie auch bald in Ihrem Unternehmen „New Service-Work“ Einzug halten könnte.
Service Engineering Models
(2019)
Since the field of service engineering emerged in the late 20th century, the service industry has undergone drastic changes. Among the reasons for these changes is the increasing digitalization, which has made it difficult for companies to successfully develop new service offerings. While numerous service engineering models are available to provide guidance during the design of new services, many of them cannot keep up with the requirements of today’s economic environment. The present paper examines the requirements that service engineering models need to meet in order to be suitable guidelines for the digital age. To this end, the introduction illustrates how digitalization has changed the service industry. Afterwards, selected service engineering models and related norms are presented. Finally, a set of requirements for modern service engineering models derived from best practices from recent years is introduced.
Smart Services als Enabler von Subscription-Geschäftsmodellen in der produzierenden Industrie

This paper contributes to an assessment framework for valuing data as an asset. Particularly industrial manufacturers developing and delivering Smart Product Service Systems (Smart PSS) are comprehensively depended on the business value derived by processing data. However, there is a lack in a framework for capturing and comparing the Smart PSS data value with the purpose of increasing the accountability of data initiatives. Therefore a qualitative data value assessment approach was developed and specified on Smart PSS, based on an industrial case study research.
