1 The Connectivity Foundry Open, collaborative and agile innovation for like-minded industrial SMEs

2 The industrial world is transforming. From siloed to open systems Today s solutions are siloed Existing MES and ERP systems do not have the full capabilities to handle sophisticated data trends, analytical methods and algorithms required for more business intelligence. Systems of tomorrow will be connected and interoperable between manufacturers and software vendors; securely sharing information & data in real-time for advanced decision making. Full stack partner and customer ecosystem Tomorrow's solutions demand a new approach to business** A quantum shift in how companies work together Adopt agile and cooperative cultures A platform and ecosystem focused approach Shared Skills, knowledge, education and marketing Open platform physical to digital Shared values, governance and goals ** PWC, Deloitte, Pentagrowth

3 Introducing The Connectivity Foundry A new industrial platform initiative It s the way businesses and people collaborate that drive innovation and agility Standards based connectivity platform, connecting physical devices to the digital value chain Vendor independent platform, leveraging existing open source projects where possible Community based APIs, open source, design and development Focus on supporting like-minded Industrial SMEs and their customer use cases Integrations for different MES and ERP systems Community learning and education Technology Channel Platform Service Connectivity Foundry membership End Customers Hardware Governance incentivised by cooperative principles, democratic member control and participation Standards bodies, foundations

SIMPLIFIED DEVICE INTEGRATION Device management and connectivity standards and open source implementations and ecosystems are now mature enough to enable commercial deployments. UNIFIED MANAGEMENT OF DEVICES Devices and machines need managing. They need to be provisioned, monitored and updated. Through our tools, frameworks and expertise, we make it easier to collect device data and manage devices. By taking care of the complexity of interfacing with devices, we enable companies to focus on deriving increased business value and efficiency from the new wave of digitalisation and connectivity that is now transforming businesses worldwide.
