Call for Partners: Consortium Project
Our Expert Network:
» Facing the Smart Future « Smart Products, Production Processes and Services

Motivation
Digitalization, including the integration of networking capabilities into physical products, is no longer just affecting the consumer elec-tronics industry. Terms like »Internet of Things«, »Industrie 4.0«, or »Smart Production« are just examples for the diversity of buzzwords that are used. But what do these buzzwords mean for companies, particularly regarding their product portfolio, production processes and offered services?
Various industries and markets have a high potential for products, production processes and services getting ‘smarter’. What will be the leading application that will drive smart technologies in particular segments? Which markets and applications will be the next to profit from – or potentially be disrupted by – smart products, services or production tech-nologies? What possibilities will be created by using or generating »smart data« and how to know what will be ‘the right data’?
In cooperation with the most relevant players, this consortium project aspires to create eco-nomic and technological transparency and to explore and analyze market and technology trends as well as possible game-changing business model shifts. Furthermore, we aim to promote valuable exchange and networ- king between the most relevant international industry partners in the fields of smart products, services and production.
In order to achieve these goals, we are promo- ting a consortium project entitled »Facing the Smart Future: Smart Products, Production Processes & Services«. KEX Knowledge Exchange and its research partners have already conducted several projects concerning this topic with the participation of more than 60 leading companies from different industries. Due to the high demand of companies entering the digitalization domain but also companies which need to validate their existing roadmaps, a third round with a further consortium will start in July 2017.

Main Focus
As a consortium partner you will be in charge of steering the project focus with the other industrial partners by selecting smart focus applications, solutions and key questions to be evaluated.
Specifically, the project covers the detection and technological and economic evaluation of mature and new smart applications and solutions which should be taken into account to improve production processes and products.
On the one hand, the project addresses indus-trial partners already working with or planning to implement smart solutions in the context of smart products, production processes and services. On the other hand, it enables technology providers to get to know their future markets and key application fields. Thus, the project forms a community covering all relevant elements of the ‘smart’ value chain.
Focus and Objectives
Objectives
In our project we aim to create a deep level of transparency with regard to:
� the future potential of smart products, production processes and services
� a global scan for mature and new smart solutions in the industrial and research domain
� a potential technological implementation of the selected smart solutions
� an economic evaluation focusing on imple-mentation costs, added value and hidden values based on e.g. data analytics
� new services and business model potential
� best practice implementation outside the consortium

Partners and Markets in Focus
The well known research partners like the Fraunhofer IPT, PEM or WZL of RWTH University will share their deep experience in the context of digitalization and other smart applications and leverage the pooled expertise in the consortium.
Furthermore, we are building an expert net-work that enables knowledge exchange and information generation across value creation
stages and business sectors. In other words, we are bringing together all experts and decision makers involved with smart products, services and production.
Benefit from the opportunities provided by our network and determine which innovations will soon be cutting edge in the market!

Methodology
Stage 1 - Content � Segmentation of focus areas and selection of key segments for further evaluation in a detailed overview through ‘tree-structure’
� Scanning & scouting for cross-industrial smart applications and solutions
� Assessment of partners applications or needs & pain-points
Stage 2 - Content � Systematic selection of the most attractive solutions by the project partners
� Assessment of technological feasibilities, cooperation partners and research content & progress for each selected application
Stage 3 - Contect Three different evaluation opportunities:
� Assessment as »business case«, calcu-lating ROI, identification of possible new services and BMI
� Generation of a »transition guideline« to implement the selected solutions
� Execution of a »first trial« in an industrial environment for fitting solutions
