MARKET4.0 | A Multi-Sided Business Platform for Plug and Produce Industrial Product Service Systems

Summary

The objective of MARKET4.0 is to define, develop and validate an open multi-sided marketplace, based on a trusted P2P data sharing infrastructure for Industry 4.0, that brings together Industrial Product Service Systems (IPSS) providers (supply side) and OEMs as their customers (demand side). It will allow direct interaction among the different sides to improve the sales power of production equipment SMEs.

MARKET4.0 will offer advanced web-presence of production equipment SMEs extended by functionalities such as simulations, VR/AR capabilities and a P2P (Industrial Data Space) offering smart user-services and a secure API to try and test the Digital Twin of the production equipment, on top supplier and customer data. This will facilitate direct transactions between market peers (supplier-to-supplier, supplier-to-customer, customer-to-suppliers and more) during the entire B2B lifecycle, i.e. from equipment search to procurement and commissioning.

MARKET4.0 will create trust in the business transactions between SME production equipment manufacturers and their customers, as an integral element of the Industrial Data Space (IDS) reference architecture. It includes technological trust (simulation before purchasing), financial trust (Blockchain distributed ledger technology for secure payment), delivery and (anonymized) feedback.

In MARKET4.0 the supply side (mainly SMEs) may offer a) production equipment, b) services that extend the capabilities of the production equipment, c) production equipment as a service and d) collaborative engineering services. The marketplace will generate additional value by providing engineering services and acting as a mediator between suppliers and customers.

Specific use case requirement: IDS connectivity and data repository configuration

Significant innovations and achievements
Result items:

Simplified and Efficient Selection of Suitable Manufacturing Equipment:  For the equipment manufacturer, IDSRAM permits the trusted connection of the equipment repository with external apps (ESS), permitting (in a time-saving process) the best selection of a manufacturing equipment, thanks to accessible data that where not accessible before.

The MARKET4.0 Metal Domain Data Space propose two solutions:

  • The first solution permits the connection of equipment manufacter repositories with a single connector (LMS/TNO). The benefit of this solution is that equipment manufacturers do not require knowledge of IDS RA and it is the connector owner who has it.
  • The second solution has the benefit to connect one service with several data providers through several IDS connectors. The benefit of this second solution is that the data provider controls the data flow and is independent of the connector provider.
Significance of the results for SMEs
Result items:

As a customer, easy access to equipment manufacturers repositories or to manufacturing services. As an equipment or service provider, easy access to the market.

Lessons learned
Result items:

IDS RA configuration and implementation not only on a peer to peer basis, but creating a data space.

Collaborative Product-Service Factories Pathway
Hyperconnected Factories Pathway
