A real-world application scenario for a novel collaborative ICT engineering platform

Abstract

Increased competition and customer' expectations forces industries (1st) to react more quickly and agile to marked trends, (2nd) to shorten their product release cycles, and (3rd) to create innovative and intelligent products able to self-adapt to their owners' or licensee' requirements depending on the current context. This paper presents (1st) an overview of a novel ICT engineering platform for rapid and collaborative engineering of product extension services addressing these challenges, and (2nd) a real-world application scenario of product extensions services for advanced maintenance functionalities of production machines, performed in collaboration with an industrial machine manufacturer.
