Companies aiming to benefit of digitization will have to solve the digitalization challenge by radically thinking on how they can increase their level of digital maturity to integrate their production and development processes within a future digital value chain. To be successful in industrial digitalization requires a tight look at products, ecosystems, and the product life cycle, but also taking seriously the role of digital culture, leadership, skill-sets of the human workforce to implement the digital change.

iDev40 covers the whole value chain to provide sustainable, digital and industrial solutions for integrated ECS development and production, built on common standards and validated by industrial pilots. Tangible results from 18 industrial Use Cases linked to the relevant digitalization facets and evaluating them on a technical and a socio-economic level in operational environments will make the potential impact of digitalization within the European ECS industry visible.

The iDev40 objectives address the following challenges:

• To develop and demonstrate a secure industrial data management infrastructure capturing the complex interactions between production and development, an automatic knowledge base including knowledge validation fostering the need-to-know-paradigm, as well as a semantically-enriched data adopting Deep Learning and AI system.

• To facilitate the virtualization of the ECS value chain, providing humans and machines access to data and knowledge, interlinking engineering and manufacturing teams and databases, fostering easy and intuitive collaboration facilities, and demonstrating a virtual live representation of operational processes through a digital factory twin.

• To enable digitalization across the product lifecycle through a Product Lifecycle Management backbone allowing seamless re-use of information and data across hierarchies and organizations, implementing a digital process management to better integrate engineering and production, as well as showcasing the integration, application, and validation of a digital product twin.

• To treat the digital enterprise as a socio-technical phenomenon, enhancing human capital, structural capital, and complexity capital through implementing a human-centered knowledge base, demonstrating how to successfully manage virtual high-skilled teams in a remote way, and empower employees to interact with highly-automated complex systems.
