Industry 4.0 “Optimization of machinery life-cycle, component re-use and servitization” T-REX Workshop
T-REX workshop based on New Business Models geared towards Servitization, especially for SMEs. Servitization can also be rated as an innovation of business models in terms of organization capacities and processes used to enhance service-oriented activities. It also addresses the importance of certain strategies and technologies connected to reliability and life cycle assessments, service engineering or advanced maintenance. In the current global economy, industrial manufacturers are under pressure to adapt to a business environment that is undergoing constant changes.
ULMA trucks forklift revolutionizes its sector with it put underway of a new system for fleets management that improves its productivity and its security
After 3 years of work and study within the project European T-REX, coordinated by IK4-TEKNIKER, in September will see the light a new integrated system for fleets management. ULMA trucks forklift has worked all this time with others centers specialized, universities and companies of Finland, Germany, Italy, France and Spain to remove forward a new solution technology that allows monitor, remotelly, vital parameters to improve the use, maintenance and useful life of the forklift trucks. This system, unique in the market, helps the customers to optimize their productivity, to reduce their costs, increase the security at work and reduce the environmental impact.
Smart Services in the focus of manufacturing industries (10/10/2016)
The increasing digitization of products and processes is triggering far-reaching changes in business models and the associated organizational systems, networks, consumption patterns and ways of working. This paves the way for a new type of highly IT-based services, the so-called “smart services”, which will offer various new possibilities for manufacturing industries. Due to their high complexity, systematic approaches and methods for their development are required. In response to this challenge, T-REX project produced some promising results that are ready to be used by companies.
On October 10, Fraunhofer IAO organizes an interactive industrial workshop in Stuttgart that discusses smart services and presents selected results of the T-REX project. With more than 30 participating companies, the workshop was sold out within just one week. This indicates that there is a high interest among manufacturing companies when it comes to the role of digitization within product-service-systems.

In current global economy, manufacturers are under pressure to adapt to an ever-changing business environment. As a consequence, as part of Industry 4.0, new trends are gaining momentum, such as the servitization of manufacturing. The servitization can also be seen as a business model innovation of organization process and capabilities, where service-oriented activities increase. This leads in turn to revise the importance of certain strategies and technologies, such as reliability and life-cycle assessment, service engineering or advanced maintenance.
The workshop, organised by IK4-TEKNIKER and ULMA, aims to demonstrate the feasibility of service-oriented business models, in particular for SMEs, and will include direct feedback from manufacturing companies interested in extending servitization and re-use activities. Part of these activities will take advantage of the results obtained in T-REX project (Lifecycle Extension Through Product Redesign And Repair, Renovation, Reuse, Recycle Strategies For Usage & Reusage-Oriented Business Models).
