Text The Rationale Why Collaborate? Much required research is noncompetitive and cross-platform, so it is easily shared Shared resources provide costeffective solutions Global collaborations promote global solutions New networks expand knowledge and supply chains GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS TOWARD SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING FOR PUBLIC GOOD INDUSTRY COMPETITION
The Rationale It makes good business sense to share IP and business knowledge In most companies, about 20% of a company s IP is the golden nugget, therefore 80% could be shared More research can be done without increasing budget, more research budget is available for the golden nuggets of a business

Rockwell Collins Case Study SFM Scalable Flexible Manufacturing Involved in Product Development and Advanced Technology Looked for tools and processes to enhance the ability to meet customer requirements Found collaboration was a model that worked to reduce development costs Involved in a number of US collaboration projects Joined an IMS project in 1998 Japan/EU/USA Focused on manufacturing modeling and simulation for electronics Resulted in a third party commercialization of the tool and that is being used today BOTTOMLINE: Developed the prototype solution in ½ the time at ¼ the cost of an internal development
Applied to: Ceramics Glass Cement
VISTRA-MTP Education Strategic Overview The VISTRA-IMS initiative arises from the EU-FP7 project VISTRA as part of the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) program in the area of Innovation, Competence Development and Education. Whereas VISTRA- FP7 mainly focuses on the technological development of an advanced VR training setup for the automotive industry, VISTRA-IMS extends the scope of VISTRA-FP7 by new application areas, by more generic training, learning and assistance concepts and by international dissemination and exploitation activities. Leaders: Dominic Gorecky (DFKI, Germany) and David Romero (ITESM, Mexico) Topic: to develop innovative strategies and systems for learning, training, and assistance of complex, manual processes. Timeline: Oct 2012 Aug 2014 IMS ACTIVITIES PARTICIPANTS Development, Integration & Exploitation of Innovative Strategies and Systems for Learning, Training and Assistance in Manufacturing Research Roadmap Future Strategies for Computer-based Training, E-Learning and Ubiquitous Assistance in Manufacturing Identification of Technological and Organizational Challenges Preparation of Future Research Activities Dissemination & Collaboration Experts Exchanges Collaboration Events Publications DFKI EU Fraunhofer EU FCC EU UNott EU SGI EU VOLVO EU OPEL EU SmartFactory KL EU ITESM MEX METALSA - MEX General Motors Company USA EPFL-IIG Switzerland
Configuration Services for Global Production Networks (CSGPN) Key Technologies Strategic Overview To understand how best to configure and re-configure a global production network, in the context of ever changing product-service requirements. To provide services that support the design and provision of flexible interoperable networks of production systems that can rapidly and accurately be re-configured IMS ACTIVITIES Contribute to CSGPN knowledge development. Scientific joint collaborative dissemination activities Industrial joint collaborative exploitation activities Contribution to Standardisation PARTICIPANTS Loughborough Univ. EU Coventry Univ.

Conclusion Over our 20 years of industry-led projects we have learned what s important: Future business innovation will be complex in character and (organizational) network based R&D is only part of the innovation picture Collaboration is essential but not easy The IMS international platform works
