1 Welcome to the FITMAN Specific Enabler Webinar on Collaborative Asset Management 16 th June 2015 Mauro Isaja

2 Introduction The FITMAN Collaborative Asset Management SE (FITMAN-CAM) is a web-based, integrated platform for managing Tangible / Intangible Assets in service-oriented Manufacturing Ecosystems Targeted at Digital and Virtual Factories Based on open standards (OWL2, LinkedUSDL) Delivered as a web portal Supports platform federation 2

3 Benefits [1/3] The term asset represents any item of economic value owned by an Enterprise. Assets are basically divided into two broad categories: resources and capabilities. Resources are tangible items, like machinery, hardware, transportation vehicles, buildings, people (employees), etc. Capabilities are of a more intangible nature: corporate knowledge (e.g., definitions of business or technical processes), individual competences, business relationships, etc. 3

4 Benefits [2/3] Both Tangible and Intangible Assets are used to achieve the goals of the Enterprise. In a Virtual Factory scenario, Assets are leveraged in a collaborative way to realize the common objectives: they are exposed and traded as Services within the Ecosystem. 4

5 Benefits [3/3] FITMAN-CAM is a dedicated platform for the collaborative management of Asset-as-a- Service (AaaS) entities in the Virtual Factory. It is targeted to the business user, who is not required to have IT expertise, nor an in-depth knowledge of ontology-related concepts and tools 5

6 Feature highlights [1/3] Define a reference Ontology using OWL2 constructs: classes, individuals, properties Describe Tangible and Intangible Assets by means of the reference Ontology Store T/I Asset descriptions in an online repository as virtualized Assets 6

7 Feature highlights [2/3] Create Assets as a Service (AaaS) items by linking a virtualized Asset to a service offering (i.e., availability, pricing, terms & conditions), as defined by Universal Service Description Language (LinkedUSDL) descriptor Create complex AaaS bundles by composition of simple ones 7

8 Feature highlights [3/3] Publish AaaS offerings to an Service Store, which is part of a larger Service Marketplace spanning the entire Manufacturing Ecosystem Search for AaaS offerings in the local Service Marketplace of your Manufacturing Ecosystem, and in the external Marketplaces belonging to federated Ecosystems 8

9 Technology highlights [1/3] Entirely web-based: no software to be installed locally by users A single FITMAN-CAM instance may support very large, distributed, decentralized organizations: multiple corporate user credentials databases (e.g., LDAP, Active Directory) integrate seamlessly with authentication and profiling subsystem Multiple FITMAN-CAM instances can be federated to create an Ecosystem cluster 9

10 Technology highlights [2/3] Low-level features based on standard open source components: Liferay Portal, Sesame, MySQL Leverages open source FI-WARE Generic Enablers: Marketplace and Repository reference implementations by SAP Core functionality and integration developed ad-hoc by Engineering SpA: Ontology Manager, Asset Manager, Service Manager 10

11 Technology highlights [3/3] Exposes several layers of APIs for integration with external applications: low-level for querying Ontology and T/I Assets (SPARQL), mid-level for interacting with AaaS, high-level for interfacing the Marketplace Runs on any Java-enabled system 11
