Research Focus: The Development of Industrial Smart Product-Service Systems
Digital transformation and the constant development of digital technologies have resulted in the emergence of smart product-service systems (sPSS), which are defined as the combination of smart connected products (SCP) and data-driven services, enabled by digital technologies. SPSS allow for numerous new features as well as services that can be offered by manufacturing firms. However, in the process of developing sPSS, manufacturing firms are facing challenges when articulating value propositions. Amongst others, this is attributed to the heterogeneity of technological stacks, which creates uncertainties on how to effectively integrate digital technologies. The solution to these challenges as well as the definitions of opportunities for manufacturing companies to create value through IIoT technologies constitute the research focus of Spyridon.

Together with partners from the sectors, the project is developing solutions on how competences can be pooled in the network with other actors. Procuring the necessary competences via digital competence pools increases resilience in value creation networks. Competence pools are digital contact points for companies to identify critical competences for specific sectors and simulate crisis scenarios and their possible effects using AI algorithms, for example. Mechanisms and specific measures for th…

The increasing spread of digital technologies creates new opportunities for companies to design customer-oriented offers from products and services by using digital data. Such so-called smart product service systems (smart PSS) offer added value specifically to offering companies, as they enable a direct response to individual customer needs and long-term customer loyalty. By creating additional environmental and social benefits, smart PSSs can also help promote sustainability.However, the devel…
