The purpose of the MIS is to collect available capability offerings from a set of manufacturers, and to make them discoverable to potential buyers. In that context, the manufacturers are playing the role of a Data Provider and their offerings are provided by a Factory Connector. The buyers are considered to be a Data Consumer of the service provided by the MIS is its role as a Service Provider.
The following use cases can be performed with the MIS.
- UC1 Manual capability registration
- Registration of manufacturer capability information via factory connectors.
- AI-based extraction of manufacturer capability information, based on machine specifications.
- UC2 Automatic capability registration / crawling
- The manufacturers' production capabilities are automatically read out by querying the factory connectors.
- UC3 Requesting manufacturer information
- Data consumer can use the MIS to query information such as production capabilities for a data provider.
- UC4 Search for potential suppliers/supply chains
- Identification of potential suppliers/supply chains for a given production process.
