In today’s competitive business environment, companies are facing challenges in dealing with big data issues for rapid decision making for improved productivity. Many manufacturing systems are not ready to manage big data due to the lack of smart analytics tools. U.S. has been driving the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Industrial Internet, and Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP) Program to advance future manufacturing. Germany is leading a transformation toward 4th Generation Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) based on Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS). China has just launched 2025 Plan and Internet Plus to focus on strengthening manufacturing and accelerate service innovation. It is clear that as more predictive analytics software and embedded IoT are integrated in industrial products and systems, predictive technologies can further intertwine intelligent algorithms with electronics and tether-free intelligence to predict product performance degradation and autonomously manage and optimize product service needs,

The presentation will address the trends of predictive big data analytics and industrial 4.0 as well as the readiness of smart predictive tools to manage industrial big data to achieve productivity and resilient product life cycle management with improved service value. First, industrial competitiveness between U.S., Germany, China, and Japan are examined. Second, Cyber-Physical System (CPS) enabled product manufacturing and services will be introduced. Third, advanced predictive analytics technologies for smart maintenance and manufacturing systems with case studies will be presented. Finally, Dominant Innovation® for smart service design will be introduced with case studies.

Jay Lee (jay.lee@uc.edu)

Dr. Jay Lee is Ohio Eminent Scholar, L.W. Scott Alter Chair Professor, and Distinguished Univ. Professor at the Univ. of Cincinnati and is Founding Director of National Science Foundation (NSF) Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) on Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS www.imscenter.net) which is a multi-campus NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center which consists of the Univ. of Cincinnati (lead institution), the Univ. of Michigan, Missouri Univ. of S&T, and Univ. of Texas-Austin. The Center has developed partnerships with over 85 companies from 15 countries since its inception in 2001. In addition, he has mentored his students and developed a spin-off company Predictronics with support from NSF Innovation ICorps Award in 2012.

His current research focuses on Industrial Big Data Analytics, Cyber-Physical Systems, as well as Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). He led IMS Team and developed the well-known Watchdog Agent® (s systematic platform for data analytics toolbox used by over 80 global companies) as well as the Dominant Innovation™ (a methodology for product and service innovation design and has been used by many Fortune 500 companies).

Currently, he also serves as advisor to a number of global organizations, including a member of the Manufacturing Executive Leadership Council, member of International S&T Committee of Alstom Transport, France, Scientific Advisory Board of Flanders' MECHATRONICS Technology Centre (FMTC) in Leuven, Belgium, Scientific Advisor Board of SIMTech, Singapore, Member of Advisory Committee of MIRDC Taiwan, etc. In addition, he serves as editors and associate editor for a number of journals including IEEE Transaction on Industrial Informatics, Int. Journal on Prognostics & Health Management (IJPHM), etc, In addition, he is also a De Tao Master in Innovation (http://www.detaoma.com/Jay_Lee/).

Previously, he served as Director for Product Development and Manufacturing at United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), E. Hartford, CT as well as Program Directors for a number of programs at NSF during 1991-1998, including the Engineering Research Centers (ERCs) Program, the Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) Program, and the Materials Processing and Manufacturing Program. He also served as advisor to a number of universities including Cambridge Univ., Johns Hopkins Univ. etc. He is a Fellow of ASME, SME, as well as a founding fellow of International Society of Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM). He is a frequently invited speaker and has delivered over 200 invited keynote speeches at major international conferences and has over 20 patents and 2 trademarks. He received a number of awards including the most recent NSF Alex Schwarzkopf Technological Innovation Prize in Jan. 2014, MFPT (Machinery Failure Prevention Technology Society) Jack Frarey Award in 2014, and the Prognostics Innovation Award from National Instruments in 2012. He mentored his students to participate in PHM Data Challenge Competition and won the 1st Prize 5 times since 2008. He is also a honorary advisor to the Heifer International-a charity organization working to end hunger and poverty around the world by providing livestock and training to struggling community.
