PSYMBIOSYS | Product-Service sYMBIOtic SYStems

Summary

PSYMBIOSYS aims at improving the competitiveness of European Manufacturing industries by developing an innovative product-service engineering environment, symbolized by a five-pointed symbiosis star - design-production, product-service, knowledge-sentiment, EDA-SOA, business-innovation and able to dramatically reduce the time-to-market of more attractive and sustainable product-service solutions.

Product-service solutions are not a novelty for manufacturing domain, in particular for Europe. Services are becoming more and more not just an optional adjunct to products, but they are integral part of manufacturing industries' offer, able to differentiate the product value proposition, to take a significant part of the revenue stream and even to substitute the traditional selling of products with more innovative service-oriented business models.

There are still 5 main obstacles which are currently preventing service innovation to be pervasively adopted by all EU manufacturing industries, SMEs included:

  1. Products and Services: How to preserve the specific characteristics of product and services in a value chain, without creating isolated and not interconnected walled gardens?
  2. Design and Manufacturing: How to reconcile Real World and Digital World in PLM allowing multi-directional interoperability of the digital images of the same product between design-manufacturing?
  3. Knowledge and Sentiment: How to consider both professional knowledge and crowd sentiments, trying to mediate extreme product-push and market-pull positions?
  4. Service-Oriented and Event-Driven: How to create a generic conceptual and implementation framework which could identify and implement the interoperability points between SOA and EDA in PLM value chain systems?
  5. Business and Innovation: How to reconcile current profitable and competitive product-oriented business models with more intangible, risky, service-oriented and Internet-based businesses?

Original description

Product-service solutions are not a novelty for manufacturing domain, in particular for Europe. Services are becoming more and more not just an optional adjunct to products, but they are integral part of manufacturing industries’ offer, able to differentiate the product value proposition, to take a significant part of the revenue stream and even to substitute the traditional selling of products with more innovative service-oriented business models. There are still 5 main obstacles which are currently preventing service innovation to be pervasively adopted by all EU manufacturing industries, SMEs included:
I. Products and Services : How to preserve the specific characteristics of product and services in a value chain, without creating isolated and not interconnected walled gardens?
II. Design and Manufacturing: How to reconcile Real World and Digital World in PLM allowing multi-directional interoperability of the digital images of the same product between design-manufacturing?
III. Knowledge and Sentiment: How to consider both professional knowledge and crowd sentiments, trying to mediate extreme product-push and market-pull positions?
IV. Service-Oriented and Event-Driven: How to create a generic conceptual and implementation framework which could identify and implement the interoperability points between SOA and EDA in PLM value chain systems?
V. Business and Innovation: How to reconcile current profitable and competitive product-oriented business models with more intangible, risky, service-oriented and Internet-based businesses?
PSYMBIOSYS aims at improving the competitiveness of European Manufacturing industries by developing an innovative product-service engineering environment, symbolized by a five-pointed symbiosis star – design-production, product-service, knowledge-sentiment, EDA-SOA, business-innovation – and able to dramatically reduce the time-to-market of more attractive and sustainable product-service solutions.

Result items:
Research & Innovation Action (RIA)
Collaborative Product-Service Factories Pathway
Service-enabled Product Design
Service orient. Product Design (integration of PLM and CRM)
Product-Service Symbiotic Evolution
Environmental sustainability
Material efficiency
Comment: Through the usage of innovative visual tools, production can better target customers’ needs and potentially reduce scraps.
Social sustainability
Occupational safety and health
Comment: Social sustainability could be integrated through knowledge sentiments throughout the product life-cycle (e.g. well being of employees is essential in a Product-Service System).
Information and communication technologies
Data collection, storage, analytics, processing and AI
Data storage
ICT solutions for next generation data storage and information mining
Comment: Through semantic interoperability information sharing and identification is eased; moreover also real time data stream processing and big data analytics will be enabled and implementing them in a conclusive mobile-enabled Symbiotic Manufacturing Intelligence Platform in product-service design value networks.
Data spaces
Digital manufacturing platforms - data platforms
Comment: SOA-EDA Secure IT for Manufacturing Intelligence symbiotically solves the SOA-EDA technical tussle, by defining three main topics to be studied and developed (privacy-security-trust, IoT and semantic interoperability) and implementing them in a conclusive value chain.
Manufacturing the products of the future
Customised products
Comment: Products are customized based on information from services.
