2. ICT for Manufacturing
Ambitions for Manufacturing Enterprises
• Accommodate changing demands & deliver customized products
On- • Make supply networks agile, interoperable, and manageable
demand
• Deliver high quality products that are durable and competitively priced
Optimal • Focus not only on the design but also on after-sales services
• Faster introduction of collective innovation
Innovate • Short turnaround – from laboratory prototype to full-scale production
• Reduce energy footprints on shop floors and increase End-of-Life (EoL) use
Green • Be compliant with new regulations
• Change perception from being production-centric to human-centric
Human- • More accommodating towards needs of the workforce and customers
centric

3. ICT Megatrends
Technology Push Perspective
Collaboration Mobility Connectivity Intelligence
• OEM – supplier – • Proliferation of mobile • Sensors, controllers, • Data analytics and
subcontractor devices embedded devices a forecasting on-the-fly
collaboration • „On-the-go‟ and commonplace • Leveraging cheaper
• Trends of contract „Always-on‟ users • „Intranet of Things‟ to storage and low cost
manufacturing and • New businesses „Internet of Things‟ processors
„product as a service‟ (manufacturing apps & • Bidirectional interaction • Making sense out of
• Customer involvement stores) with real-world objects manufacturing data
in product design
Human–centric Manufacturing
