Productivity growth has declined since the 1990s Annualised growth of labour productivity (output per hour worked)

Source: OECD estimations using OECD National Accounts database; OECD Productivity database; International Labour Organisation database. Statlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/888933367500

The potential productivity benefits of new

technologies are urgently needed.

Digital technology and “servicification”

of manufacturing

has transformed its business into a service with

“Power by the Hour”, where customers pay only for

the time they use an engine. RR engineers oversee

management of customer’s fleet.

• The IoT is used to collect data on real-time engine usage

> minimises RR’s operation costs (maintenance costs)

> maximises engines’ operation time (service revenues)

Based upon FY 2014 revenues, RR’s savings could range

from USD 400 million to USD 600 million and revenues

increase could be USD 1 billion annually

Using big data, cloud computing, and

the IoT: the case of John Deere

• is connecting farm machines to each

other and to the cloud (MyJohnDeere) via

the IoT to collect and process big data

> autonomous vehicles enable a single farmer to

plant and harvest up to 600 acres a day (compared to 150)

Global precision farming market now worth

~ USD 3 billion and expected to be worth

~ USD 5 billion by 2020 (CAGR: 12%)

Selected Themes - 3D printing

Selected Themes - 3D printing

• Companies that print on behalf of others (3D printing-as-a-service. eg ShapeWays, Sculpteo).

Enable 3D printing of repair parts for products no longer in production - remove intellectual property barriers

• Marketplace for 3D printable files (like Shutterstock or Fotalia, but 3D).

• Some such markets already exist, but with limitations (Thingiverse, Markerbot’s marketplace, does not allow makers to monetize their designs).

Government can

help

- Technical and institutional

infrastructure (e.g. materials databases)

- Promote standards

- Forge data sharing agreements across

industry, government labs and academia
