Reliability-centered maintenance for production assets is a well-established concept for the most effective and efficient disposition of maintenance resources. Unfortunately, the approach takes a lot of effort and relies heavily on the knowledge of individuals. Reliability data in Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is scarce and almost never used well. An automated risk assessment system would have the potential to contribute to the dissemination and effective use of risk information and analysis. The individuality of production setting, however, prevents current systems from being practically relevant for most industries. The presented approach combines ontologies to store and link knowledge, an information logistics model displaying the various information streams, and the Internet of production to take the different user systems and infrastructure layers into account. The provided model of a reference digital shadow for risk information and a detailed information logistics model will help software companies to improve reliability software, standardize and enable assets owners to establish a customized digital shadow for their production networks.

Monetizing Industry 4.0: Design Principles for Subscription Business in the Manufacturing Industry
(2019)
Subscription business models have a major role for monetizing products and services for manufacturing companies in the age of Industry 4.0. As the manufacturing industry has difficulties generating revenues through digitalization, the implementation of innovative business models are essential to remain successful. Physical assets are often capital-intensive and require a more complex manufacturing process than subscription business models. Moreover, subscription models can focus on the individual customer benefit and a consistent service transformation, constituting a unique selling proposition and a competitive advantage. Hence, the following paper provides a management model that enables manufacturing companies to successfully realize the transformation towards a subscription business model. The management model presents four major fields of action, each matched with one design principle that must be considered when dealing with subscription models in the manufacturing industry. These principles were determined by an in-depth case study analysis among various manufacturing companies. Opportunities, challenges and recommendations for action were then systematically derived and integrated into the management model.
Today, machine manufacturers generate a significant share of their revenues with the provision of services. At the same time, they are confronted with the challenge of adopting of Industrie 4.0.
One of the most important Industrie 4.0 concepts is the idea of the digital shadow, which contributes to the comprehensive structuring of different kinds of data from different data sources. It can be defined as the sufficiently precise, digital representation of reality in real-time.
Thus, it also functions as a database of the considered area of a company that can be used for numerous applications. It serves as a central platform for the aggregation and distribution of data. Thereby, it helps to open isolated data silos. A system architecture that enables extraction of data from various sources and the aggregation of that data is an important prerequisite for the digital shadow.
In addition, the merger of data from different sources requires a model of the part of the company to be mapped digitally. In this paper, we focus on maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services of machine manufacturers. The scope comprises the whole order processing of a service including the utilized resources and the obtained results.
MRO services and their single elements are mapped and structured using a case study research in a first step. Those elements provide a basis for designing the digital shadow. A second contribution of this paper is a data model for the digital shadow of MRO services that entails a comprehensive representation of that department.
Geschäftsmodell-Innovation
(2017)
Der Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland ist bislang vorrangig auf die Produktion von Gütern ausgerichtet: Kraftwagen und Kraftwagenteile, Maschinen, Datenverarbeitungsgeräte sowie elektronische und optische Erzeugnisse stellten wertmäßig die Hälfte der Gesamtausfuhren des Jahres 2013 dar. Die fortschreitende Globalisierung führt zu einer verstärkten internationalen Wettbewerbsintensität bei sich schneller ändernden Produkten und einem wachsendem Differenzierungsdruck. Industrielle Dienstleistungen stellen vor diesem Hintergrund eine Möglichkeit dar, die technische Leistungsfähigkeit von Produkten zu erweitern und zeitgleich die Abgrenzung und Differenzierung von Wettbewerbern auf internationalen Märkten zu realisieren. Produkte werden durch industrielle Dienstleistungen zu umfassenden und spezifischen Lösungen erweitert, die über die Kerneigenschaften der Produkte hinausgehen und Probleme der Nutzer und Kunden als integriertes System lösen. Sach- und Dienstleistungen werden nach Belz als Leistungssysteme beschrieben, die ausgewählte Kundenprobleme nicht als einzelnes Produkt oder einzelne Dienstleistung, sondern umfassend und wirtschaftlich als Kombination aus Leistungsbestandteilen lösen.
