7 INDUSTRY 4.0 DEFINITION Industry 4.0 is a collective term for technologies and concepts of value chain organization. Based on the technological concepts of cyberphysical systems, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services, it facilitates the vision of the Smart Factory.

8 INDUSTRIAL INTERNET = INTERNET OF THINGS FOR MANUFACTURING Connected devices [M] Reference: IHS 2013 Internet connected devices

9 4 REASONS WHY THE INDUSTRIAL INTERNET WILL TAKE OFF FAST CLEAR USE CASES Product life-cycle Predictive maintenance Logistics tracking Robotics Asset tracking & management THREE OTHER REASONS 1. Clear need to connect the machine park and the work floor is often recognized and a good starting point. 2. Privacy is less of a concern compared to many other markets, e.g. health, smart cities or retail. 3. Clear decision making: In contrast to more complex business models, manufacturing has often clear decision making

10 VOLVO FORWARD PROJECT Driving the IoT onto the factory floor Fast, reliable wireless connectivity can be elusive in a factory full of structures and machinery that obstruct signal transmission. In the warehouse, wooden crates full of metal parts are sometimes stacked up like walls that move and change very often. This constantly changing geography has a severe impact on wireless coverage Working in shifts and with fluctuations in demand, usage patterns are very uneven. When a lot of devices are working close together, e.g. Bluetooth headsets that connect to terminals, interference issues appear. Proprietary information makes security a top priority.

11 2014 PICANOL Weaving textile manufacturing into the IoT Intelligent weaving machines that are part of the IoT can warn textile mill operators of maintenance requirements and pinpoint efficiency opportunities. Proactive and reactive maintenance are key applications for IoT in the textile industry. To support these applications, two architectures are needed: one is a point-to-point solution that connects individual machines to each other and to human operators, and the other gathers data from all the machines for comparison and storage on a single server. The solution should accommodate various data collection needs and keep up with evolving hardware.

12 7 TECHNICAL CHALLENGES FOR THE INDUSTRIAL INTERNET 7 5 Big data analytics Human centric production systems 6 Security & Privacy 4 Semantic interoperability 3 2 Dynamic cloud resources Deterministic connectivity 1 Configurability, sensors and actuators

13 HUMAN CENTERED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS Industrial challenges small lot sizes - high product variability complex products - large components/systems humans play important role in production social challenges (ageing workforce) need for increased labor productivity high cognitive load errors in production and inspection process high physical load damage of products, cumulative trauma disorders, absenteeism Future = operators as knowledge workers assisted by supporting technology in an agile production environment

14 ROBOTS OF TOMORROW From Collaborate, side-by-side, with humans in a normal manufacturing environment enabling companies to get the best out of both humans and robots, together. inherently safe rating, meaning it can work alongside humans without posing any risk whatsoever to their safety. To The soft padded dual arms ensure the complete safety of the robot s co-workers. The design of the robot makes humans feel safe and comfortable.

15 UNCONNECTED PRODUCTS CONNECTED PRODUCTS Unconnected products are: Uncontrolled and stranded assets Difficult to maintain/upgrade No data available Untraceable status unkown Business model USP Hardware based Add-on maintenance services Product quality On-site service Price Connected products are: Externally controlled assests Enables remote maintenance/upgrading Provides a wealth of data for analysis Traceable- status known Business model USP Hardware + Enables SAAS opportunities Product Quality Optimising uptime Remote service + on-site service Predicting/estimating downtime

16 NETWORK OPERATING CENTER Network Operations Center (NOC) The NOC provides support for deployment monitoring maintenance of the connected products (hardware & software) monitoring web apps and APIs hosting platform Customer products for maximizing uptime, limiting damage => maximizing the customer s productivity

17 INDUSTRY 4.0, IN SUMMARY Many areas that will be impacted : Machine safety Industry value chain Workers Socio-economic Industry Demonstration Large impact on both SMEs and large enterprises new skills and technologies will be needed Opportunity for new business models
