“Best New Catalyst” Award

TMF Live 2016, Nice, France

© 2016 TM Forum Live! 2016 | 3


This Catalyst goes beyond the scope of traditional Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services to present a vision of dynamic manufacturing processes that can cost effectively support low-volume, quick turn, high-value runs.

It spotlights Billions in potential cost savings by reducing downtime related to manual configuration and maintenance of robots.

It also enables “mass customization” in support of the transformation of global manufacturing.

This Catalyst demonstrates…

Online orders for Robot-based services, along with remote activation and configuration of robot cells using TMF REST Open Digital and DSRA APIs.

The Catalyst shows the general applicability of TMF assets for new domains.

Commercial value add

According to the EEF; UK manufacturing

employs 2.6 million people

Equating to ~8,060 robots in the UK

Mass customisation: Reconfiguration activities (~

requires minimum 8-10 cell reconfiguration

activities per year at a cost of ~$250,000 (labour

and downtime)

Cost savings of over $200million alone for UK

manufacturing (a small % of a $10tr industry) :

• Machine downtime reductions from days to

hours

• Reduction in labour requirement

Manufactures need to embrace the vision of Industry 4.0 / Smart manufacturing:

• Infrastructure Industrial Ethernet, wireless, IoT, smart data, mass customisation

• Virtualisation 3D CAD modelling, simulation, supply chain data collaboration, zero prototyping

• Hybrid Skills for self optimising cyber-physical manufacturing

Success would be:

• Mass Customisation - batch sizes of 1

• Shorter Time to Market – zero prototyping

• Highly Flexible Manufacturing

• 30% increased productivity

Smart Manufacturing Catalyst Introduction and Overview

© 2016 TM Forum Live! 2016 | 12

Smart factory systems are able to determine and identify their field of

activity, configuration options and production conditions.

All elements in a smart factory will communicate independently and

wirelessly with each other.

It will optimize itself to individual customer product manufacturing. For

example it will take into account the product properties, costs, logistics,

security, reliability, time and sustainability.

It will manage its own resources automatically to have best efficiency in

manufacturing.

The machines will automatically adjust themselves to work alongside human

workforce.

The vision for Digital Manufacturing

Smart Manufacturing

• Self determination

• Wireless and independent

communication

• Self optimisation to customer

product

• Automatic resource

management

• Human collaboration

Platforms enabling Industrial eco-systems

This Catalyst presents a Universal Interface, which abstracts all of the technical complexity of working with Robot-based services. It uses a declarative, or “intent-based”, model for rapidly designing and testing new services, offering them as products in a catalog, and managing the lifecycle service orchestration of the services, including service assurance (performance & fault) and preventative maintenance management.

The Actors collaborate, through the Universal Interface to design, test, order,

activate and maintain a Robot Service with no code or manual integration.
