Text Rationale
The
• Why Collaborate?
– Much required research is noncompetitive and cross-platform,
so it is easily shared
– Shared resources provide costeffective solutions
– Global collaborations promote
global solutions
– New networks expand
knowledge and supply chains
GOVERNMENT
REGULATIONS
TOWARD
SUSTAINABLE
MANUFACTURING
FOR PUBLIC GOOD
INDUSTRY
COMPETITION
The Rationale
It makes good business sense to
share IP and business knowledge…
– In most companies, about 20% of a
company’s IP is the “golden nugget”,
therefore 80% could be shared
– More research can be done without
increasing budget, more research budget is
available for the “golden nuggets” of a
business
Text
MTP Collaborative Project Formation
• Bottom-up Projects
– Industrial requirement drives project
– Not IP essential, or IP can be shared with
others not in direct competition
– MTP Project is initiated by project leader
– Usually self-funded
• Top-down Projects
– Social requirements may drive projects
– IP should be shared, i.e., sustainable RDI
– Usually public funded
Text
MTP Collaborative Project Formation
• Linked Projects
– Duplicate research is combined
– IP can be shared
– Additional synergy between projects
• Standards Projects
– Global standards require international
cooperation
– Network through standards bodies
– Government supported

World Manufacturing Forum
An IMS-sponsored Event
The WMF was created by IMS to
be an international forum where
high-level policy makers and
industry leaders could meet to
discuss global manufacturing
issues that should be solved
cooperatively.
The Forum strives to bring globally
recognized experts to present their
views on current topics. Ample time
for networking during breaks and
meal times promote lively
discussions that can lead to mutual
understanding and cooperation.
The WMF is an invitation-only
event but open to influential leaders
in manufacturing from anywhere in
the world.

Virtual Simulation and Training of Assembly and
Service Processes in Digital Factories (VISTRA)
Peter, an employee at an assembly line for automatic gear boxes, was
informed that the production of a new product type will start at his
line started in four weeks. To familiarize at an early stage with the new
product and its assembly process, he uses a virtual, gesture-based
training system.
All product models and
process
descriptions
used in the training are
provided by the design
and planning tools of
the digital factory.
The
training
system
explains the assembly
process
step by step
using a combination of
animations and speechbased instructions.
Virtual Simulation and Training of Assembly and

PROduct lifecycle Management and Information
tracking using Smart Embedded systems (PROMISE)
STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
• Use, Service & Maintenance
or MOL and EOL.
• Feedback of information
from these phases to BOL
(Design and Production).
Started: 2004 - Ended: 2008
BREAKTHROUGH CONTRIBUTION
• To allow information flow management to go
beyond the customer, to close the product
lifecycle information loops, and to enable
the seamless e-Transformation of Product
Lifecycle Information to Knowledge.
• A consortium of three Swiss, 16 European,
seven Japanese, three American and three
Australian partners.
OBJECTIVES
• PROMISE deals with the information
flow of a product system through all
the phases of the product’s life cycle.
• The fact that the information flow is
broken before a product closes its life cycle
does not allow the feedback of the
expertise and know-how, from service and
maintenance and recycling experts back to
the designers and producers.

Vision:
bIoTope lays the foundation, both technologically and business-wise, of ecosystems
for “Platforms for Connected Smart Objects”. From a technological perspective,
new combination of data sources and services across vertically oriented closed systems,
silos and domains will be made possible through the development of a Suite of
COTS software components developed around Open API Standards. From a business
perspective, bIoTope focuses on community and ecosystem building activities that
ensures the quality and effectiveness of collaboration.
