Business ecosystems associated to digital platforms
Comment: By providing an open ICT platform (with tools and services), DIGICOR contributes towards the development of an ecosystem that nurtures and supports the management and control of collaboration networks. Such an ecosystem also promotes the development, usage and uptake of advance technological solutions, thus contributing towards the advances in technology and skill set in a wider context.
Other eco-system aspects
Comment: One of the aspects of DIGICOR ecosystem is the Tool Store, where software developers and service providers can offer their tools and services to DIGICOR users.
Target clients
Comment: The target clients of DIGICOR Platform are the industry associations and SME clusters that traditionally provide the partner search, match making and facilitation of collaboration services. Although, the tools provided through the DIGICOR Tool Store can also be used by individual manufacturing companies to plan, monitor and optimise their production processes.

Comment:

The UPTIME solution, consisting of extended e-maintenance services and tools, will be deployed and validated during the first wave of innovation within the manufacturing companies participating in the consortium, and its results will be diffused during the second wave of innovation including members beyond the UPTIME consortium; i.e. it will build up and expand vibrant ecosystems of providers and users of new e-maintenance, digital technologies and will foster exchanges between these providers and users.

To grow and sustain the ecosystem, UPTIME will encourage collaborative activities including learning and knowledge sharing activities, and networking events. It will design activities with recognition and awards attached to encourage desired behaviour and participation with the new e-maintenance services.

To sustain the ecosystem, UPTIME will cultivate and assess the knowledge and new forms of e-maintenance services and tools created by the ecosystem to inform new strategies, activities, roles, technologies, and business models for the future. It will provide opportunities for participants to play new roles and experiment with new activities. It will ensure that the UPTIME procedures, practices, and the technology support are available to sustain the ecosystem over time, and establish new roles related to harvesting and creating best practices in the ecosystem.

UPTIME will seek to strengthen the competitiveness of European industry by effectively building up and expanding a vibrant EU technological ecosystem for the manufacturing companies’ maintenance needs. The structure and membership of the UPTIME ecosystem will ensure that manufacturing companies of the consortium take on a driving role in the action, i.e. leading the innovation activities and liaising with end users, ensuring that the work responds to a clear market demand.

Other eco-system aspects
Comment:

The Value Proposition and the Market Positioning of UPTIME are the most important pillar for the success of
the exploitation activities. The objective is to have a clear understanding of the Value Chain, the structure of the competition, the segmentation of the market, its evolutions and its drivers, the main business expectations and constraints, and finally the customer problems and pains. From this accumulated knowledge, the relevance of the UPTIME solution will be evaluated and validated through direct contact with end users beyond the industrial partners of the Consortium (interviews, surveys and/or focus groups).

UPTIME seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of European industry by effectively building up and expanding a vibrant EU technological ecosystem for the manufacturing companies’ maintenance needs.

Within UPTIME, the Predictive Maintenance Management Model and Integrated System are going to be validate in the three business cases and industries, ensuring the cross-sectorial evaluation of the performance, usability and applicability of the UPTIME methods and tools in scenarios engaging various machine types.

Interaction with other digital platforms
Comment:

UPTIME aims to exploit the full potential of predictive maintenance management and its interactions with other industrial operations by investigating a unified methodology and by implementing a unified information system addressing the predictive maintenance strategy.

UPTIME will implement scalable information processing technologies and user interaction with the system, e.g. by providing visualization of diagnostics, prognostics, recommendations, etc. UPTIME will be applicable at the level of component, machine and production system, depending on the placement of sensors throughout the production lifecycle and the data availability in the manufacturing company’s systems (e.g. Enterprise Resources Planning-ERP, Manufacturing Execution System-MES). Within UPTIME, there will be interactions between the various emaintenance services and the e-operations data and information from the manufacturing companies’ systems in order to synchronise maintenance with production, quality and logistics management.

Target clients
Comment:

The primary market segment UPTIME targets is the Manufacturing Industry. First of all, the opportunity is attractive: it is a quite large market where the economic impact of predictive maintenance is high and little has been deployed so far. Second, the competitive advantage of UPTIME is high: its Value Proposition fits very well with the needs of the customers, the expertise of the members of the consortium is strong in this domain and the 3 Business Cases are relevant.

Moreover, three secondary market segments because the technologies involved in UPTIME can be deployed in their contexts:

  • Process industries: any downtime results in immediate and irreversible loss of production without any possibility to compensate
  • Oil & gas / Utilities industries: the same rationale as with the process industry
  • Aerospace & Defense MRO: major players are currently seeking to implement predictive maintenance to optimize the Total Cost of Ownership of the systems

 

UPTIME’s strategy is to focus its efforts on the core market, the manufacturing industry, but with a pragmatic approach regarding the 3 secondary segments: follow-up market demand, anticipate specific expectations and seize opportunities.
