Agenda
 Objectives
 Summary
 Next Steps1

Our vision – We would like to create the reference
architecture to:
3RA Pharma
Allow new (IT) suppliers
to quickly get
knowledgeable on our
industry specifics
Create transparency in
terms of which
technology is used for
what purpose
Provide templates for a
technology solution,
capturing both business-
facing and technology-
facing perspectives in
terms of pharma

Digital Transformation Technologies
4RA Pharma
 Enabling the digitization of our society and economy
 Objects and people are assigned unique identifiers, sensors, and actuators
 interconnected through wireless ad-hoc networks such Bluetooth, Zigbee or Z-Wafe, and report about
their status and the surrounding environment
 26 billion IoT devices will be deployed by 2020

5RA Pharma
 Technologies that increase the user’s perception and interaction with the real world by placing virtual
objects
 Combines real and virtual objects in a real environment
 Runs interactively, and in real time
 Virtual objects’ features and behavior is derived from data that has been gathered due to digitalization

6RA Pharma
 IT systems using artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and machine learning technologies
 Provide data analysis and decision-making through automated, dynamic learning based on
accumulated experience
 Derives intelligence and knowledge from huge volumes of structured and unstructured data and
enables real-time decisions
 Efficient, effective and flexible solution for dealing with ubiquitous data generated by digitalization

ACROSS DIFFERENT
INTERDEPENDENT INDUSTRIES
• Applications developed and running
in different industries may interact or
be integrated with each other
• Data may be exchanged through
these inter-industry connections
• Business-level synergies across
organizations in different industries
• Focusing: Pharma & Logistics &
Public

The Internet of Things (IoT)
 Wireless interconnections among “things” w/ sensors (personal devices, appliances etc.)
equipped with data-gathering sensors
 Conservative prediction: 26 billion IoT devices worldwide by 2020 (Lee and Lee, 2015)

The need for IoT Architectures
10Blank.potx
ACROSS DIFFERENT
INTERDEPENDENT INDUSTRIES
• Architectures = models
• Driving factors
• IoT technology proliferation (types, suppliers)
• Cross-functional, end-to-end internal
processes
• Interconnected, global external processes
(supply chains)
• Value chains and value ecosystems
• A need for architectures
• Helping companies innovate by developing
appropriate digital product platforms
• Making sense of recommendations to support
a company’s digital strategy
• Developing interconnected business platforms

Types of Architectures
11Blank.potx
ACROSS DIFFERENT LEVELS
• Company level = enterprise architecture (EA)
• “business and operating model,
organizational structure, business
processes, data, applications and
technology” (Ahlemann et al., 2012)
• Industry level = reference architecture (RA)
• high-level, organizing view for an industry,
including its processes, stakeholders,
organizational, informational and
technology structure (Czarnecki and
Dietze, 2017)

Goals of RAs for Specific Industries
12Blank.potx
Help new (IT) suppliers
to quickly get
knowledgeable on
industry specifics
Create transparency in
terms of which
technology is used for
what purpose
Provide templates for a
technology solution,
capturing both business-
facing and technology-
facing perspectives
Help companies & their
partners to build
interconnected digital
business platforms

Research Process
14Blank.potx
• Analysis of architectural frameworks
o Many frameworks, no general
preference or standard, most have
basic elements (business, processes,
data, sw, hw), sometimes companies
develop their own
• Practitioner feedback
o Standards-setting communities
• Iteration
• Analysis of existing technologies
and corresponding RAs
o Specific technologies, not
integrated for IoT
• Selection of architectural framework
o Open Group Architectural
Framework (TOGAF)
• Dissemination
o Articles, presentations
• RA development
o Industrial IoT-specific issues
o Industry-specific issues

RA Elements
15Blank.potx
Architectural domains (TOGAF)
• Business architecture: strategies, business capabilities, and
processes
• Data architecture: storage and access of data
• Application architecture: application design and interactions
• Technology architecture: hw & sw to support other 3 domains
Enabling technologies
• IoT: tags (RFD/datamatrix), sensors, wireless networks, etc.
• Other – big data, analytics, etc.
Technology interaction steps/stages
• Tag, Sense & Connect
• Ingest
• Analyze & Prepare
• Utilize
Interaction industries
• Value chains and ecosystems
