Organizations face pressure to adapt to changing market conditions and digital technologies. Digital transformation empowers them to leverage technologies such as IoT, AI and Digital Twins, which generate significant economic value. However, widespread adoption of these technologies also lead to a surge in data volumes, requiring protection and governance as valuable Enterprise Information Assets. This presentation explores the symbiotic relationship between digital transformation and IoT systems, advocating for a "Digital Trust & Governance Supply Chain" that covers compliance, policies, legal defensibility and lifecycle management of IoT data.

The Communications Task Group (CTG) is a sub-group of the Technology Working Group, responsible for communications aspects of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The task group develops and maintains  IoT Connectivity Framework (IICF) and the Industrial IoT Networking(IINF) foundational documents. The task group serves as a resource to the IIC and the IIoT community for guidance on communication related issues and  communications innovations. Join us to learn more about the CTG roadmap, and how you can be part of defining the future of IoT communications for Software Defined Industry/Manufacturing.

Presenter: Daniel Young/Toshiba, Ron Zahavi/Auron Technologies, Vertical Task Group Leads

• SMM Mining Profile Presentation
• Smart Factory Updates
• Energy TG Updates
• Sustainability Maturity Model Proposal

Join us for the Industry Working Group’s Session on “Sustainability perspectives from different vertical markets”.  There will be speakers from the mining, manufacturing, and energy markets to discuss the recent activities in IIC.  Then we will hear an innovative approach for device manufacturers, called the “Sustainability Maturity Model”, which helps fulfill the needs of a circular economy and keep equipment from prematurely ending up in a landfill.

After a short break, we will then host a Workshop on Sustainability.  This will be an open forum for all participants, discussing the key SDG issues that participants see with their customers and processes, what and organization like IIC can do to help address these issues, and a discussion of next steps and best approaches.  Consider your company’s perspective, bring along your thoughts and ideas, and help steer the conversation towards effective measures that benefits everyone.

Presenter: Daniel Young/Toshiba, Vertical Task Group Leads

• Key issues and ideas to address them
  
• Areas where IIC can provide the most value
  
• Discussion of best approaches and next steps
  
• Action Plan 

Presenter: Mitch Tseng/Tseng InfoServ, Daniel Young/Toshiba, Bassam Zarkout/IGnPower, Abhijeet Kelkar/GEOOWN, Chuck Byers/IIC

What are tangible actions and results IIoT companies can achieve and how can IIC/OMG help them?

The panel discussion will be based on previous discussions in the Marketing and Innovation WG meetings with an objective to form a dedicated TG to help develop tools or other means to help members engage in sustainability work with trackable and meaningful results.         

Topics to be discussed include, but are not limited to:

• How to make an IIoT business sustainable? 
• How to ensure that sustainability goals are included during business transformation?
• How can the VBE model help the efforts to improve business sustainability?

Join us for this session as we dive into the achievements of the Digital Transformation Working Group (DXWG) since our last gathering and engage in discussions surrounding Digital Transformation, the UN Sustainability Development Goals, and the changes in the structure of the working group.

Presenter: John Vickers, Principal Technologist, Space Technology Mission Directorate, NASA

Presenter: Thomas Doney/AdvME LLC, Guest Presenter:  Willem Meijer/Product Manager Industry 4.0 - Mpac Group plc

Mpac is a merger of several well established packaging machinery companies that provide secondary packaging machine solutions in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical spaces in CPG manufacturing.  Mr. Meijer is coordinating the incorporation of common hardware and software in Mpac's offerings to enable connectivity for both machine performance and machine condition data to help end user companies realize their objectives in manufacturing/packaging in their digital transformation.

Discussion will focus on the presenter's company's experiences to date in implementing local data extraction and visualization of machine performance and condition data, as well as a planned offering for remote analytics to provide additional support to their customers.

Dataspaces is a concept that refers to a federated and open infrastructure for sovereign data sharing between different organizations and systems across domains and ecosystems. This session will explore the ongoing work on the Dataspaces and Data Sharing Principles whitepaper and discuss the relationship between dataspaces and digital transformation. The session will also include an overview of work in the Catena-X initiative on its Manufacturing as a Service ecosystem with Smart Factory Web and sustainability tracking with Digital Product Passports.

Presenter: Lim Chaisung, IIC Chair of Korea Industry 4.0 Association

Presenter: Dawn Tilbury/University of Michigan, Gordon Shao/NIST

Advancesin computing and networking technologies have enabled massive amounts of datato be collected from manufacturing plant floors, and stored either locally orin the cloud.  Although data quality remains an important challenge,Digital Twins enable this data to be used, together with models ofmanufacturing processes, to create useful information and advise humanoperators on recommended actions.  Standards for Digital Twins areemerging, and there are opportunities to create different types of DigitalTwins that can best utilize the data that exists.  In this talk, we willpresent a requirements framework for Digital Twins in the manufacturing domain,including the important properties of re-usability, interoperability, interchangeability, extensibility andmaintainability. Several examples of digital twins that we have created will bepresented, with potential outcomes of reduced costs and improvedproductivity.  Future challenges and opportunities in the area ofDigital Twins for manufacturing systems will also be discussed.

Presenter: Chaisung Lim/Korea Industry 4.0, Daniel Young/Toshiba

Chaisung Lim shall talk about the inflection points discovered in the Hannover Messe 2023 and their implication on IIC and its members. The inflection points are those on data space technology systems and digital twin technology systems.  Daniel Young shall share the contents of Hannover Messe 2023 which have been discussed among his colleagues in Toshiba. 

If time permits, the discussion will be opened up to other recent industry conferences that members have attended.

 This session will discuss the ways that IoT can help bring evidence-based trust to the manufacturing and production activities and service offerings of many industries.  Most industries have well-developed quality, safety, and security norms for the products and services related to their industry. However, almost none have a practical, scalable, and data driven method for communicating adherence to those norms as a normal part of their interactions with customers and users of their systems as someone decides on whether to accept a product or service. With the rise in interest in implementing zero-trust architectures, the ability to bring sufficient data to decisions about the trustworthiness of products and services is one many are looking for.
