THE FASYS EXPERIENCE
DEPLOYMENT OF INTEGRATED AND PERSONALISED RISK
MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS IN A SENSING ENTERPRISE

4. Background
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 FASyS – the Spanish acronym for
Absolutely Safe and Healthy Factory
 FASyS is a 40 month duration project,
started in September 2009 with a budget
of 23.3 M€.
 FASyS involves 13 companies and 11
research centres and universities.
 FASyS aims at improving business
competitiveness in “human-centric”
manufacturing processes through new
levels of industrial safety and workplace
comfort facilitated by a strong IoT
foundation.

5. The FASyS concept back in 2009

 The knowledge worker and human-
centric manufacturing are pillars of new
European production models.
 But…..
 Workforce is aging fast.
 Human error is the source of 90% of
accidents and incidents in industry.
 The impact of error on workers is more
severe.
 Competitiveness of new industrial
models could be compromised from the
start.
 Technology & prevention models lack
the right scope to protect the worker as
an strategic asset.

6. The Business Challenge
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
IoT & Sensing Enterprise could be instrumental to
achieve the right balance

7. The Operational Challenge
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
There is a need for continuous, proactive, absolute management of security
and health – “factory worker first”.

8. The Operational Challenge
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
Can well-known and emerging hazards be completely managed in
an integrated, proactive and continuous manner?

15. Lessons Learned
 Technical
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 Data reliability. Sensor data + acquisition method description.
 Data openness. Data is both open and close based on trusted
networks and usage context.
 Data stream scalability. Data processing should be flexible and
distributed.
 Reasoning resilience. Resilience to data unavailability, ambiguity,
imprecision and error for real system deployment.
 Linked knowledge. Knowledge searches for smart objects.
 Smart object autonomy. Smart object exhibit “glocal” intelligence.
 Smart object morphing. Smart objects may serve purposes
beyond those that they were intended for.
 Messaging performance. Secure QoS-aware service messaging.

16. Lessons Learned
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 Economic
 Business impact assessment methods should focus on effect
quantification not technology.
 Traditional business processes were initially revisited to exploit
sensing enterprise solutions.
 New business models could not be pushed. At latter stages new
business opportunities naturally emerged from the adoption of
new business processes.
 Non-technical
 Legal framework analysis focused on governance, accountability
and liability.
 Social framework focused on privacy empowerment and
transparency vs. vigilance and scrutiny.

17. Lessons Learned – Knowledge dynamics and intelligence
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 Knowledge should not be an static asset
to be searched or found.
 Searching for knowledge is a painful and
slow experience. Less value
 Knowledge is the sensing enterprise
“protein”. The enterprise genome.
 Knowledge “proteins” in traditional and
“new coded” forms must actively attach
and modify the behaviour of relevant
enterprise objects – smart objects.
 Knowledge in continuous and fit motion
through the enterprise torrent equals to
increased business value generation.

20. SME Context
 SME activity focus is on medium-term survival.
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 Business case evaluation for advanced IT solutions is difficult in
the SME context.
 Lack of control over business environment + limited market
share.
 SMEs take the dual role of PROSUMER in the FI context
 SMEs are trapped in a resource crossroad towards (Future)
Internet technology embracement
 SMEs are “organic”, responsive, flexible and adaptive and
require different managerial approaches for predominantly flat
structures
© SMEs in the Future Internet (FI) Task Force - 2012

21. SME Context
 SME as a technology consumer
This document is the property of ComVantage project and may not be copied or communicated without written consent of Comvantage Consortium
 Sensing enterprise promise increased business opportunities.
 Interesting framework to capitalise on SME agility.
 Self-x support key to SME adoption
 Evolutionary adoption paths preferred to disruptive ones.
 SME as s technology & service developer
 Sensing enterprise solid framework.
 Standardisation on interfaces and description languages required.
 Reference technology platforms cannot cover all. Need for
customisation.
 Niche enablers and advanced services (data managament, data
fusion, intelligence services..).
