Zusammenfassung

Die digitale Überwachung von Maschinen und Anlagen bietet Maschinenherstellern neue Möglichkeiten Instandhaltungs- und Gewährleistungskosten zu reduzieren und datengetriebene Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Cloud-Technologien können hier als Enabler dienen, um zunächst in einem ‚Single Point of Truth‘ operative Daten aus Maschinen zu speichern und daraus neue Erkenntnisse zu generieren. Dies ermöglicht den Teilnehmern des Ökosystems dieser Cloud-Plattform analytische Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Hierdurch werden die Steigerung der Effizienz, die Reduzierung von Instandhaltungs- und Gewährleistungskosten sowie die potentielle Optimierung zukünftiger Produkte möglich. Auf Basis von Interviews mit Managern im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau analysiert dieser Beitrag, inwiefern eine exemplarische Cloud-Plattform die analytische Nutzung von operativen Daten aus Maschinen und Anlagen gewährleisten kann. Insbesondere werden der resultierende analytische Nutzen sowie die sich daraus ergebenden Anforderungen dargestellt. Für Manager bietet dieser Beitrag einen Überblick über analytische Nutzenpotentiale einer industriellen Cloud und inwiefern eine Teilnahme an einem derartigen Ökosystem sinnvoll ist. Aus theoretischer Perspektive soll ein tieferes Verständnis für mögliches Dienstleistungsgeschäft und damit verbundenen Anforderungen neben dem klassischen Maschinen- und Anlagenbau erreicht werden.

Abstract

Drawing on digitized industrial products offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) novel opportunities to (1) maximize product uptimes, (2) minimize operational costs for maintenance, (3) repair activities, and (4) to offer product-complementing industrial services. Cloud technologies can be leveraged as an enabler to collect operational product data in a single point of truth to derive data-driven operational decisions. This allows actors in a service ecosystem to offer data-driven analytical services, based on the capabilities of industrial cloud platforms. This results in myriad benefits such as increased efficiencies, reduced maintenance and warranty costs or potentially better products. Based on an in-depth single case study and interviews with managers in the manufacturing industry, we investigate how a digital industrial cloud platform can enable to leverage operational product data in analytical industrial services. Specifically, we identify requirements and illustrate, how these requirements are addressed by a large OEM, which is in the middle of building an industrial cloud. For practitioners, this paper provides an overview on how digital industrial cloud platforms have to be setup and leveraged in the industrial product and service business. For theory, this article serves as a first step towards identifying requirements for digital industrial cloud platforms in the context of industrial manufacturing.
