Intelligent Information Management& The Democratization of Information

Connecting the Digital Thread™Spring 2019 MeetingsPurdue Digital Enterprise Center


Democratization

The spread of knowledge among common people, in contrast to knowledge being controlled by elite groups

The action of making something accessible to everyone

The right data to the right place at the right time


Industry 4.0 fosters what has been called a "smart factory”. Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real-time both internally and across organizational services offered and used by participants of the value chain. - Industrie 4.0 Working Group

The Digital Thread refers to the communication framework that allows a connected data flow and integrated view of the asset’s data throughout its lifecycle across traditionally siloed functional perspectives. - Industry Week

Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) is a fully integrated and collaborative environment founded on 3D product definition detailed and shared across the enterprise; to enable rapid, seamless, and affordable deployment of products from concept to disposal. - MxD

Smart, Connected, CollaborativeIntelligent Information Management (IIM) defines all the strategies, methods, and tools utilized to capture, create, store, secure, analyze, deliver, and automate data. IIM is all about Data AND Content, not Data OR Content. - AIIM

PDF and Web: Unique Capabilities to Democratize Information

PDF Format• Content combined with presentation

• “Self contained” format– Ideal for “disconnected” environments

• “Document”– Combination of a document, zip, and

application

• Just a file; Needs to be distributed• Almost everyone has the Free Adobe

Reader

Web-based Technologies• Content separated from presentation• “Networked” applications

– Connected Collaboration– Digital Thread Applications– IoT Applications

• Centralized content repository (Cloud!)– Never loose control

• Solves issues with technical content:– Distribution– Accessibility– Concurrency (everyone looking at the same thing)


The Cloud for Intelligent Information Management

• Internally Hosted - Simpler to deploy, maintain, control

• DMZ/Supplier Portal – Controlled access to external suppliers and partners

• External, Amazon, Oracle, etc – Offload hosting, less control but it is secure (BOX, Drop Box for a while, many others)

• Government Cloud = More secure and has become more accepted in the last 1-2 years for DoD, etc

• Solving critical technical problems during product ideation… misunderstandings are reduced• Identifying and reducing supplier capability risks • Increasing manufacturing knowledge share• Increasing qualified supplier bid participation, with lower bids • Reducing product delay risks

Supplier collaboration via a cloud hosted web approach


• IIM Digital Work Instructions (DWI) support process steps together with audio, video, and other content items

• Gated and un-gated digital work instructions, with ability to collect quality information and report elapsed times to MES or MRP

• Supports incorporation of live IoT data in DWI web content.

• Democratizes important corporate knowledge to the next generation

Digital Work Instructions via a cloud hosted web approach


VR• IIM technical web content can

delivered as rev-controlled, authoritative visualization data and attributes to virtual reality (VR) applications

AR• IIM technical web content can

delivered as rev-controlled, authoritative visualization data and attributes to augmented reality (AR) applications

IR• IIM technical content with

responsive templates can be accessed directly in browser-enabled wearables such as Glass or HoloLens, for hands-free, informed reality (IR) experiences

Conclusions • Cloud hosted web information and collaboration is a

reality and access plus control of this information in can allow for controlled democratization

• What is the optimal way to host the information and allow access. Don’t create garbage can packages of information just because you can

• Standards are critical and flexible ones are needed
