“…While these findings rest upon the platforms' architectural features, they indicate relevant implications for platforms' business models and evolution. Previous research already provides some insights regarding typical characteristics (Abendroth et al, 2021) or business model archetypes for IIoT platforms . Comparing our taxonomy to respective dimensions of Abendroth et al (2021), we find confirmation in selected architectural characteristics (e.g., platform openness, options for extensibility).…”

“…As a result, the IIoT platform landscape is scattered among different manifestations, making it challenging to compare IIoT platforms with each other and understand the value they can create. Research just recently began investigating IIoT platforms, covering different aspects such as their business model (Endres et al, 2019;, frameworks for classification (Moura et al, 2018), design characteristics (Abendroth et al, 2021), or their design criteria (Werner & Petrik, 2019). Regarding the business model, focused on constituent elements of a business model and developed a taxonomy to understand the IoT platform market.…”

IIoT platforms’ architectural features – a taxonomy and five prevalent archetypes

In the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital platforms have recently received significant attention. Although IIoT platforms revolve around similar business objectives, they address various use cases and, thus, differ considerably in their architectural setup. While research has already investigated IIoT platforms from a business or design perspective, little is known about their underlying technology stack and its implications. To unveil different IIoT platform configurations and better understand their architectural design, we systematically develop and validate a taxonomy of IIoT platforms’ architectural features based on related literature, real-world cases, and expert interviews. On this foundation, we identify and discuss five IIoT platform archetypes (Allrounder, Device Controller, Data Hub, Service Enabler, Connector). Our findings contribute to the descriptive knowledge in this ambiguous research field while also elucidating the interplay of IIoT platforms’ architectural setup and their purpose. From a managerial viewpoint, our results may guide practitioners in comparing and selecting a suitable IIoT platform.

ZusammenfassungDie interorganisatorische Zusammenarbeit in Produktionsnetzwerken kann Herausforderungen durch eine hohe Marktdynamik, immer anspruchsvollere Kundenbedürfnisse und steigenden Kostendruck entgegenwirken. Neben der klassischen vertikalen Verschiebung von Kapazitäten in Richtung geeigneter Zulieferer, lassen sich Fertigungskapazitäten auch durch eine horizontale Zusammenarbeit zwischen produzierenden Unternehmen handeln. Im Sinne der Sharing Economy bieten digitale Plattformen eine geeignete Infrastruktur zur Verknüpfung und Koordination der Marktakteure eines Produktionsnetzwerks. So können Fertigungsunternehmen flexibel Produktionsausfällen entgegenwirken und freie Maschinenkapazitäten auslasten. Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für den Erfolg solcher digitalen Plattformen für Produktionsnetzwerke ist die Definition von Zielen, welche bisher in der Literatur nur unzureichend und nicht bezogen auf diese spezifische Plattformart untersucht wurden. In dieser Arbeit wird ein umfängliches konzeptionelles Zielmodell für diese spezifische Plattformart erstellt. Zu spezifischen Zielen digitaler Plattformen für Produktionsnetzwerke zählen neben wirtschaftlichen oder technischen Zielen beispielsweise auch produktionsbezogene Marktleistungsziele wie die Gewährleistung von Produktionsflexibilität. Aufbauend darauf wird gezeigt, wie das Design der beschriebenen Plattformen einen Einfluss auf die Erreichung bestimmter Ziele hat und wie spezielle Mechanismen zur Zielerreichung beitragen.

“…firms that provide tangible and intangible types of resources, such as data, physical products, manufacturing capacity, or financing. These three complementor types can appear in five different permutations or not at all, as is the case when the platform owner provides all of these services (Abendroth et al, 2021). These complementors provide goods to the ecosystem defined as any other product or service which enhances the attractiveness of the focal product or services, such as add-ons, extensions or modules.…”

From real-time visibility to operational benefits – tensions on unfinished paths

PurposeVisibility is the need of the hour for each organization involved in the supply chain, and scholars have made few previous efforts to understand patterns driving visibility in transportation platforms. However, many companies have not been able to achieve sufficient levels of practical implementation across the supply chain. Therefore, this study focuses on exploring, why the real-time visibility transportation platforms fail to operationalize.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilizes action research as a methodology for pragmatism to understand supply chain professionals' viewpoint regarding the operationalization of real-time visibility. The research addresses a complex transportation network of a fast-moving consumer goods company. Wherein, both a greater need for visibility and improvements are also more challenging.FindingsTensions amongst complementors, the platform owner, and the Control Tower of a focal company explain the different impacts of freight forwarders and own fleet carriers on shipment compliance. Integrating subcontractors is a cost-intensive practice for complementors that increases asymmetry and reduces co-created value. The willingness of freight forwarders to exert control contributes to tension competition versus collaboration.Research limitations/implicationsThe model identifies the dynamics that explain how managers can navigate the tension over time by controlling contradictory loops driving shipment compliance. Findings can help managers develop plans, conduct pilots, and collaborate to unlock value from real-time visibility. The research findings can be informative for the European Union bodies and help work out a policy that reduces the asymmetry of benefits and contribute to the more sustainable development of digital industrial platforms.Originality/valueThe contribution lies in (1) providing a study of the factors affecting achieving real-time visibility, (2) distinguishing complementors (3) identifying tensions amongst complementors and platform owner as critical for successful platform deployment, (4) conceptualizing a pattern of behavior emerging amongst the platform partners and (5) outlining avenues for future research.
