Smart manufacturing is vital for economic growth and improved
living standards. In this white paper, it has been explained by utilizing models from innovation. With certain regularity new disruptive
technologies become available and pave the way for a new wave of
innovations. When the effect of the new innovations is large enough,
they revolutionize how things are seen and done.
In this white paper we have presented new disruptive technologies
that are mature enough for industry to leverage (the enablers of smart
manufacturing). We have also presented a set of design principles (the
enhancers of smart manufacturing) that are currently under development and of high relevance for successfully implementing smart
manufacturing. We have also presented the effects that are foreseen
with smart manufacturing.
Standards related to smart manufacturing, i.e. to the enablers,
enhancers and effects, are vital, and their development is urgently
needed. Many companies and organizations rely on their content in
the company\u2019s transformation journey towards smart manufacturing.
Therefore, it is important to understand which standards are already
available, which are under development and, if any are missing, to
identify where new ISO working groups should be established.
All the enablers are covered by at least one TC. Six of the nine enablers
are addressed by one main TC and have a clear definition. Three of
the nine enablers are addressed by multiple TCs, and a clarification
would be beneficial for stakeholders. This white paper contains a
concise presentation of the enabler by its ISO definition, as well as a
short description of its relevance for smart manufacturing.
Only two of the nine enhancers are addressed by one dedicated TC
and have a clear definition. One of the nine enhancers is addressed by
multiple TCs. Six of the nine enhancers are lacking a corresponding
TC and do not have an ISO definition. There is a need for additional
working groups addressing the missing enhancers.
Seven of the nine effects are not addressed by any TC. One of the nine
effects is addressed by a related TC, and one has a dedicated TC and a
clear definition. There is a lack of ISO initiatives related to the effects.
The landscape of existing, as well as non-existent, standards is an
important finding by the SMCC which will be brought forward to the
ISO\/TMB, together with additional recommendations.
The overall goal of this white paper \u2013 as well as for the SMCC and
the related ISO working groups \u2013 is to make it easier for companies
and other stakeholders to adapt to, and benefit from, the concept of
smart manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
