How to Take Advantage of Digitized Manufacturing

Challenge and Motivation

• Currently it is still open how to achieve economic benefits by digitalization in manufacturing
• Manufacturing is characterized by various data sources and system providers
• A concept for system providers and their role in digitized manufacturing system is unclear

Objective

• Identification and evaluation of the potential economic benefits of digitized manufacturing
• Description of needs and requirements for system suppliers for digitized manufacturing

Procedure

• End-user centric approach – Highlight benefits of digitized manufacturing and identification of business cases by using the example of 5-axis milling
• System provider centric approach – Conception of a practical digitized manufacturing environment
• Aggregation and demonstration – Evaluation of the approaches in the manufacturing environment at Fraunhofer IPT
