Dr. Jochen Friedrich presented at a workshop on standards and cloud computing. He discussed how customers value efficiency, flexibility, certainty, openness, and security when using cloud services. Effective standards can promote interoperability, portability, and fair competition while preventing vendor lock-in. Many relevant standards already exist, and work is underway globally to address gaps. Rethinking the approach to standards means focusing on customer needs, using open platforms, and collaborating across organizations.

I held this presentation on IT Policy in Europe 2010-2013: The Imperative of Walking
the Talk on Openness at the European Commission today. Walking the talk on
openness means real measures to push open standards-based interoperability across the European value chain—in all verticals.

DITRAMA - Digital Transformation Manager for the Furniture sectorChiara Terraneo
The training materials and off-line course have been created in the framework of the DITRAMA project, a Sector Skills Alliance funded by the EU ERASMUS+ programme, by 12 partners from 8 EU countries including universities, VET centres and sectorial clusters.
The digital and green transition, or Twin Transition, will have a huge impact on the EU furniture sector during the coming years and decades. The Digital Transformation Managers will be in charge of leading the deployment of the digital transformation within companies in an integral manner. This professional will require technical, technological and managerial knowledge and skills, vision for their deployment within the sector and transversal skills for change management. All of these are covered at different level by the DITRAMA training course.
The complete course consists of 100 micro training pills grouped into 10 units (4 technical and 6 transversal), that cover strategic as well as practical aspects and it can be done in full or selecting the video-pills of interest.
Internet of Things (IoT): More Opportunity than RiskStefan Ferber
I) Internet der Dinge
a) „Software is eating the world“
Durch die Vernetzung werden Dienste und Dienstleistungen wichtiger als der Verkauf der physischen Produkte selbst. Der Trend, im traditionellen Internet-Geschäft als Vermittler, Aggregator oder Plattform-Anbietereine dominante und finanzielle äußerst lukrative Marktposition zu erlangen, wird über die virtuellen Paradoxa plakativ illustriert:
Facebook, Pixar, AirBnB, UBER, Amazon. Marc Andreessens 2011 Slogan „Software is eating the world“ ist in vielen Branchen nicht nur eine technische, sondern auch eine Geschäftsrealität geworden. Basierend auf der „Valley Philosophie”, exemplarisch illustriert durch Ray Kurzweils Theorie der „technological singularity“, zelebriert beim „Burning Man“ Festival, praktisch gelebt in Start-ups und großen Internet-Firmen, zielen diese Technologieunternehmen darauf ab, das Leben von Milliarden Menschen zu verändern („change the lives of a billion people“). Dazu gehört das disruptive Abschaffen alter ineffizienter Industrien.
b) Nächste Stufe: Das Internet der Dinge
Das „Internet der Dinge“ ist die nächste Generation des Internets. Es ist ein global vernetztes System bestehend aus Computern, Sensoren, Aktoren und Geräten die über das Internet Protokoll potentiell „jedes Ding“ vernetzen. Durch das verschmelzen der physikalischen Welt mit der virtuellen Welt entstehen für Organisationen, Firmen und Konsumenten neue, höherwertige Dienste auf Basis von webbasierten Geschäftsmodellen. Schlussendlich steht das Internet der Dinge für eine Serie von technologischen und ökonomischen Veränderungen, die nicht nur bestehende Märkte, sondern auch das Leben jedes einzelnen revolutionieren wird.
„Industrie 4.0“ ist das Internet der Dinge in den Anwendungsbereichen der Produktion, Automatisierungstechnik und produktionsnahen Logistik.
c) Erfolgsformel von Prof. Fleisch
Dinge werden seit 30 Jahren zunehmend mit digitalen aufgeladen: eingebettete Software, Hochleistungsprozessoren, kleinste Sensoren, Anbindung an das Internet. Das führt dazu, dass neben der lokalen Funktion des Dings auch globale Dienstleistungen mit dem „Schwarm der Dinge“ und deren Benutzern möglich wird:
Ding + IT = lokale Funktion + globale Dienstleistung
Wie können traditionelle Industrieunternehmen und Gründer in diesem Feld ihre eigene Position neu definieren?
II) Handlungsrahmen für Unternehmen in vier Dimensionen
Seit 2008 bereitet sich Bosch entlang dieser vier Dimension auf die Chancen und Herausforderungen im Internet der Dinge und Dienste vor:
1. Geschäftsinnovation
2. Marktdisruptionen
3. Kompetenzen
4. Technologie

Webinar: The Vorto project proposal for Eclipse Internet of Things (IoT)Stefan Ferber
Internet of Things Information Model Repository
Bosch initiates the IoT Information Model Repository project (Vorto). The idea behind Vorto is to push the standardization of so-called information models. An information model is an abstraction of a device.

Lessons learned after one year of open source activities in the Internet of Things
We at Bosch believe that the technology that comes with the “Internet of Things” (IoT) has genuine potential to deliver value, meaning, insight and fun in order to tackle major challenges of the 21st century in several domains like mobility, energy, home & building, cities and manufacturing. In our vision of the future, each of our electronic products is connected to the internet. This connectivity will allow for disruptive business models and new services. Developing the business ecosystem around IoT targeting different stakeholders in the IoT value chain from silicon vendors to system integrators is a major task for Bosch. Typical examples are:
* Strategic Alliances: Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) addressing partner companies and potential customers of IoT projects though showcasing IoT use-cases in real world test beds. Bosch was the initiator of first public IIC test bed.
* Business Consortia: Hubject (Electromobility) and mozaiq (Smart Home) in order to break though in immature markets. Bosch is amongst the co-founding companies.
* System Integrators: Partnership with TechM, Infosys, and TCS to scale out internationally.
* Standardization: OSGi Alliance membership with ProSyst – now belonging to Bosch – a longstanding member of the OSGi board, also driving the IoT activities. OSGi is Bosch strategic IoT technology.
* Open Source: Building on open technology like Eclipse, Apache, CloudFoundry, Linux and bringing IoT key elements to the commons via Eclipse IoT.
This talk will highlight how Bosch tries to align the above activities developing the IoT market using the example of OSGi. Particularly, the lessons learned after one year of active open source contribution to the Eclipse IoT community will be discussed: from topics regarding product liability, change of software business model, impact on agile development and team dynamics we at Bosch believe that other companies from old industry probably face similar impediments. They are part of the very different approaches and world views found in embedded system development as compared to Internet & IT software development.
Besides learning new tricks and all the challenges, we at Bosch are committed to an open platform approach as we believe that “nobody can do I(o)T alone”.
Khalil Rouhana | Towards a European Digital Industrial StrategyI4MS_eu
After completing the initial year, I4MS has hosted its first public international event on 18th June in Berlin, in cooperation with the launch of the German manufacturing programme, Autonomik für Industrie 4.0". I4MS has brought together more than 150 professionals from industry and innovation, who have attended to several presentations about what has been achieved by I4MS and further funding opportunities for SMEs and middle size corporates (mid-caps) under the Initiative.
The event signified the importance of SMEs in Europes manufacturing industry and their role in the reindustrialisation process for Europe. At a glance: SMEs are providers of around 45% of manufacturing added value and roughly 59% of employment in the manufacturing sector.
