Using mobile technology for inter-organisational collaboration and end-customer integration I-Know 2013, Graz Dr. Conny Weber, ISN – Innovation Service Network Jan Hladik, Markus Graube, Reinhard Willfort, Leon Urbas
The ComVantage Project • Project Specifics • Program: EC Call – FP7-2011-NMP-ICT-FoF • Timeframe: September 2011 – August 2014 • www.comvantage.eu
Expectations & Key Requirements Economically • Different stakeholders all over the world, collaborate within and control a common supply chain without high transaction costs • Develop innovative services by integrating end-customers’ knowledge into the value chain Technically • Lightweight and usable infrastructure for application in technological unaware environments • Low costs to raise affordability for small and micro companies • Flexible solution supporting an open virtual factory spirit
Supporting inter-organisational collaborationwithLinked Data Why do we use Linked Data? • Allow heterogeneous stakeholders to share data in a virtual factory • Technology for sharing the data needs to be highly de-centralised • Light-weight, easy to implement approaches for data exchange formats and interfaces to quickly integrate new partners • Extensibility, as dynamic collaborations evolve over time How do we use Linked Data? • Development of domain models • Semantic lifting of data from legacy systems through Linked Data adaptors • Mapping between domain models of different domains • Discovery and storage of links to public sources
Supporting inter-organisational collaborationwiththe Industrial Application Framework (IAF)
Mobile Applications Customer Application Producer Application
Summary Scientific impact & innovation • Elaborate motivational factors to use mobile technology in the manufacturing environment • Identify the ICT needs of smaller partners e.g. micro companies • Support collaboration and common learning effects between suppliers • Flexibility and transparency about production processes for involved stakeholders • Integration of multiple stakeholders in a consistent Mobile Collaboration framework • Orchestration of former independent apps on UI level and on business process level • Facilitating collaboration between partner companies by using Linked Data as common data format • Integration of publicly available Linked Open Data/Social Web Data with company data
