FIspace general presentation
This document discusses the FIspace platform, which aims to facilitate seamless cross-organizational collaboration and unprecedented transparency in agri-food, transport, and logistics industries through machine-to-machine communication and Internet-connected sensors. The FIspace platform provides a cloud-based environment for collaborative business networks and on-demand applications. It integrates business systems through generic enablers and will be validated through use case trials in areas like crop protection information sharing, greenhouse management, and food supply chain monitoring.

Editor's Notes
- #3 These sectors together have a huge potential impact on the European economy and society.EU turnover: 1,500 billion €Efficiency: 148-220 billion € savingsSustainability: 26.5% of CO2 emissionsHere you see a picture of the business network we are dealing with (farmers, carriers, retail, customs, etc.)They are challenged by all kind of ICT-related developments, such as:High-quality customer applications, end2end visibility, M2M communication, etc.But there are currently still quite some bottlenecks to be solved, such as:Interoperability between current inter-enterprise information systems (still use of paper, fax, phone, etc.)Tracking and tracing possibilities are still limited (especially e.g. if you want to know what happened to your food between production and consumption)Especially for SMEs, software is relatively expensive, while the need for flexible, customized solutions has increasedThese bottlenecks are the reason for current limited and rather fixed business collaboration networks, hampering innovation in generalThrough conceptual prototypes in phase 1 we have made it plausible that FI will significantly contribute to overcoming these bottlenecks by facilitating:...seamless cross-organizational collaboration…unprecedented transparency, visibility and control of processes…rapid, easy, low cost development and deployment of customized solutions…agile formation of business networks and ecosystems
- #4 This will be achieved by the FIspace platform, which is a cloud-based solution for business collaboration.This platform is represented by the big rectangle in the middle, consisting of several components:FIspace store (similar to the Apple App Store or Google Play), which offers a range of apps and services supporting B2B collaborationBecause apps are characterized by simple, lightweight functionalities, this collaboration is supported by a B2B collaboration core that handles object states, event handling, (re-)planning processes, etc.Further embedding and integration is supported by the other layers:System & Data IntegrationSecurity, Privacy and Trust managementAnd an operating environment to make it runningThe apps are planned to be developed through the open call in Phase 2 and large scale expansion in Phase 3. Therefore we develop and offer aSoftware development toolkitFinally, the whole platform is approachable through front-ends, which are typicallycockpit-type of web browser applicationsAll these components will use, and therewith validate, several GEs from FI-Ware and - at the other side – eight trials will validate and demonstrate the FIspace platform
- #6 These trials are largely a continuation and extension of the pilots that were started in phase 1. They are categorized into three themes:Farming in the cloud (e.g. crop protection information sharing)Intelligent Perishable Goods Logistics (e.g. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supply Chain Monitoring)Smart Distribution and Consumption (Import and Export of Consumer Goods)The trials are concentrated at several locations all over Europe, but since most of them concern international supply chains, the actual scope is much larger.All trials use similar functions of the FIspace platform (especially within one theme; as indicated by the connections) and therewith GEs
- #7 So the key results will be:FIspace platform: FI-enabled, extensible cloud solution (WP200,300):Enabling seamless and efficient collaboration in business networks byExploiting GEs provided by the FI PPP Core PlatformWorking experimentation sitesacross Europe (WP300,400)Validating test applications in early use case trials in Agri-Food, Transport & Logistics(Plan for) large scale expansionFostering innovation by IT solution providers and industrial uptake by larger user communities (WP500)(So not only plans are made, but during this project large scale expansion will take place through the open call and the overlap with Phase 3 projects
