Requirements for Innovative Production System Functional requirement analysis and definition of strategic objectives and KPIs

Manufacturing domain includes a broad range of different technologies, production approach and business model; in order to fully leverage new technology enabling the integration robots and flexible machinery into complex and distributed production environments a sound analysis of each specific domain needs to be carried out. Specifically in PERFoRM project, this task will bring the project to a clear definition of general business and strategic requirements and objectives regarding the expected results and how to measure and benchmark them. This last point requires to identify an appropriate set of KPIs (technical and business) able to provide a significant data base, but without overloading usecases with too detailed requests that would prevent (if the indicators are too detailed) aggregations and comparison.
