Industrie 4.0 – Cyber-Physical System

Factories of the Future 2020

The 'Factories of the Future' PPP identifies and realises innovation-driven transformations in European manufacturing sectors by pursuing a set of research priorities along the following research and innovation domains:• Advanced manufacturing processes• Adaptive and smart manufacturing

systems• Digital, virtual and resource-efficient

factories• Collaborative and mobile enterprises• Human-centred manufacturing• Customer-focused manufacturing

How big is big?

Viewpoints

Digital Factory

Virtual Factory

Smart Factory

Novel controls based on ICT convergence in automation, CPS, robotics

Novel operations based on product and process modelling and simulation

Novel management of complex supply chains across manufacturing sites and including logistics and material flows

Initial focus

Eventual focusFollowing EFFRA roadmap

Vision

Study the overall architecture and core technologies to• establish a comprehensive, Internet-scale platform for

networked production that will• encapsulate the right abstractions to link effectively

and scalably the various stakeholders (product firms, manufacturing plants, material and component providers, technology providers, users, services) across the entire life-cycle of industrial products to

• enable the emergence of a feasible and sustainable Internet economy for industrial production.

The job

• Make Aalto a visible player on the scene in Finland, Europe and the world during the next 3-5 years

• Joint effort of the Schools of Science and Engineering– SCI: Department of Computer Science and Engineering– ENG: Department of Engineering Design and Production– Further units when needed and where added value is clear

• Research, education, innovations• Kone Oy, Konecranes, Metso, ABB, Teknologiateollisuus

ry, VTT, TTY, SITRA, …• Siemens, SAP, TU München, DFKI, …; GE, IBM, MIT, …

Industrial Internet Roundtable: Charter

• Share information on the current status of relevant work in various parts of the Aalto University

• Define an Aalto response to the challenges and opportunities of Industrial Internet covering research, education, and innovation

• Embed the response to the Aalto University strategy, especially the Digi Platform

• Implement the response as a balanced portfolio of initiatives– Research: TEKES, industry, EU, EIT Added Value Manufacturing KIC– Education: Aalto-wide minor topic for M.Sc., Aalto-wide initiative in

doctoral education– Innovation: “3D Hacking Lab”, reaching out to entrepreneurs

Roundtable Workplan

• Initial stage– Get together (meetings: Wed 2.30-4 PM, OIH 2nd floor)– Position presentations of members + discussion– Collect a shared repository of relevant documents and publications

• Formation stage– Define an initial portfolio of initiatives (R, E, I)– Split in teams to define the initiatives– Invite other partners and experts outside Aalto

• Output stage– White paper– Synopses of initiatives– Aalto Digi Breakfast May 13 8-9.30 AM

Digi breakfast 13.5.2014 8.00-9.30, OIH Seminar Room• Opening 5 min, Ilkka Niemelä?• Overview 15 min, Martti Mäntylä• Aalto Position 1 10 min, NN1• Aalto Position 2 10 min, NN2• Aalto Position 3 10 min, NN3• Industry Position 1 10 min, NN4• Industry Position 2 10 min, NN5• Discussion and next steps 20 min

Innovation

Potential thematic area:New products• Platformization of ICT

– All products are “mechatronic” -> distributed intelligence– All products are networked -> Distributed / multiple interfaces

• Economic, social, technical sustainability at the face of global challenges (energy, environment, demographics)

• Life-cycle “-ilities”: composability, tailorability, upgradability, …

• Coupling product and service design from the start• Impact of new materials, new production technologies

– Including 3-D printing

Potential thematic area:New processes• Ubiquitous sensing, networking, cloud computing, data

mining, computational modelling -> new scale of opportunity to model production systems

• Networked control systems, feedback loops, … -> new scale of opportunity to apply deep knowledge gained from modelling and inline simulation

• Life-cycle “-ilities” of production equipment and systems through continuous software innovations in the control stack -> flexible and responsive manufacturing of smaller and more personalised batches, improved environmental footprint

• New operator interfaces -> human aspects for enabling future workers to interact with the production systems

Potential thematic area:New platform
