Digital Platform Frameworks for Manufacturing Companies

A review
Marcel Rojahn ORCID Icon
In recent years, digital platforms have established themselves as a central concept in the IT field. Due to the wide variety of digital platforms available on the market, there is still a need for clear comparison with criteria to enable interested parties to select, change, operate and further develop these platforms. The following paper aims to contribute to the facilitation of this comparison by undertaking a systematic literature review of digital platform frameworks in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) for manufacturing companies and thus providing a basis for a number of potential ways to effectively compare current digital platforms and ecosystems.

Potential of Platform-Based Business Models in the Plastics Industry

Potential of Platform-Based Business Models in the Plastics Industry

Benedict Bender, Stefanie Lewandowski
The potential of platform-based business models in the context of Industry 4.0 has not yet been fully realized. Approaches for platforms and ecosystem- based value creation vary between industries. The plastics industry has so far been widely ignored in this respect. Due to its industrial structure, in particular the uniform value creation structures, the plastics industry is suitable for digital platforms. In addition to approaches for platforms in the injection molding industry, the article offers a procedure model for the expansion of established business models. This can facilitate the entry into the field of platform-based business models for SMEs.

Framework Development for a Dynamic Production Platforms

Anwendung einer strukturierten Vorgehensweise beim Aufbau einer dynamischen Produktionsplattform
Larissa Eger, Stefan Wiesner
In recent years, the potential of cloud manufacturing in the B2B business fields has evolved enormously due to the increasing utilization of new digital technologies. Digital business processes confront manufacturing companies with new opportunities and challenges. For the digital transformation of these companies, the structured analysis of corresponding platform concepts is essential. In the first step, this can be supported by a framework that analyses basic insights and framework conditions for the development of dynamic cloud manufacturing platforms for the production sector. A corresponding framework is developed and presented in this article.

How to tackle managerial challenges
Julian M. Müller, Johannes W. Veile, Kai-Ingo Voigt
Digitalen Plattformen im Kontext von Industrie 4.0 werden zahlreiche Potenziale zugeschrieben. Allerdings birgt deren Implementierung und Nutzung einige Herausforderungen, insbesondere für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Herausforderungen durch digitale Plattformen mithilfe von qualitativ-empirischen Interviews von 83 Experten aus mittelständischen deutschen Industrieunternehmen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass unter anderem Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Vertrauen, Konkurrenzdenken und Koordinationsaufwand existieren. Aus den Ergebnissen können strategische Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet werden, wie mittelständische Unternehmen den Herausforderungen begegnen können, um die Potenziale von digitalen Plattformen zu heben.
