Target outcomes after phase 2:
i. Working experimentation sites building upon common components and Generic Enablers as
provided under the Core Platform Objective complemented by the identified use case specific
capabilities;
ii. Selected test applications implemented on these experimentation sites;
iii. Validation of the openness and versatility of the Core Platform and its software development kit,
through implementation of mixed use case scenarios originating from more than one use case
project;
iv. A detailed plan for how to move into phase 3, including detailed plans for the large scale
expansion of platform usage facilitated by local and regional stakeholders including SMEs.
Phase 2 Funding schemes
- Up to 5 IPs, with priority given to maximising the spectrum of use cases covered. Indicative
budget distribution and duration
- 13.5 M€ per use case project; at least 10% of the budget expected to be allocated via Open
Calls to allow for local solution providers & system integrators to get involved.
- Duration: max 24 months

Mission and Objectives
The mission of the FITMAN (Future Internet Technologies for MANufacturing industries) project is to
provide the FI PPP with a set of industry-led use case trials in the Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories
of the Future domains, in order to test and assess the suitability, openness and flexibility of FI-WARE
Generic Enablers, this way contributing to the social-technological-economical-environmental-political
sustainability of EU Manufacturing Industries.
In order to accomplish the mission statement, the FITMAN project will deliver:
• One FITMAN Generic Platform for Manufacturing Industries, as a collection of several Generic Enablers
Implementations of Fi-WARE Chapters (WP1);
• Three FITMAN Specific Platforms for Smart, Digital and Virtual Factories, as a collection of several
Specific Enablers Implementations belonging to Factories of the Future and Future Internet Enterprise
Systems research (WP3)
• Eleven FITMAN Trials Platforms as instantiation of the selected Generic and Specific Enablers for 11
industry-driven multi-sectorial Trials (WP4-5-6)
• One generic and flexible Trials Verification and Validation Framework, encompassing concepts,
methods and tools for Manufacturing Trials (WP2);
• One open-to-all FITMAN Phase III Package, to support FI-WARE PPP Phase III obj 1.8, Expansion of Use
Cases, access to FITMAN Reports / Prototypes (WP8)

FITMAN: the FInES roots
• Many FITMAN beneficiaries participated in EI Cluster and are actively animating FInES Cluster
• The concept itself of Generic (and domain Specific) Enablers (which is at the basis of the FI PPP
Technology Foundation project) is derived from the “ICT commoditization” trend which was pre-announced
by the ISU (Interoperability Service Utility) and fully developed in the “Internet as Universal Business
System” FInES Task Force. In FI-WARE, Utility Services are now available under six different Chapters to
help developers build their own services and applications, as generic building blocks.
• FI PPP Phase III, the expansion of the use cases (service consumers) on a territorial basis (a new PPP
postulating a stronger relation between Local Public and Private bodies) as well as the creation of an
open-to-all, participatory ecosystem of service providers is indeed in line with COIN ISU 3.0 vision
included in the FInES ISU-UBS Task Force document
• One FITMAN Task (T3.4) is devoted to address (from a technical viewpoint) Enterprise Interoperability
issues, in particular to develop FITMAN specific enablers aimed at allow ERP systems compatibility (ESR
wording). Many outcomes from recent FInES projects will be exploited here (e.g. COIN, iSURF, COMMIUS,
SYNERGY, NISB)
• Some FITMAN Trials took inspiration by the 10 FInES running projects in the Factories of the Future
(mostly MSEE ComVantage IMAGINE Adventure) coordinated by Innovalia in the FoF Cluster
• FITMAN Trials reference architecture derived from the MSEE project and from the preparatory work
performed in the FInES Arch Task Force (see after)

FITMAN: the FInES H2020 PP
The FInES H2020 PP has been developed along 5 main thematic areas also relevant to FITMAN:
• FI-PPP. The role of FITMAN in the FI PPP is mainly to reinforce its business innovation capability in non-IT
industrial domains in collaboration with other Phase II projects (such as FISpace) and in close synergy with
the FoF PPP and its “ICT for Manufacturing” Grand Challenge.
• Web Entrepreneurship. FITMAN includes a Phase III preparation WP which is in charge to drive the
existing industrial Trials towards disruptive innovations such as business models or service innovations. This
often requires the creation of a start-up or spin-off, rather than trying to adapt the existing
organizational structures to the new needs
• Sensing Enterprise. Many FITMAN Trials could be considered Sensing Enterprise Trials with a massive use
of IoT technologies (Smart Digital Virtual) and the aim at reconciling real and virtual worlds through
adaptive and proactive digital enterprise systems and applications. The initial interpretation of the IoT
Chapter by FI-WARE (data capture towards a centralized cloud back-end) is currently under discussion
and now seems to evolve towards a more distributed and autonomous architecture, as required by the SE
• Digital Enterprise. This is the common aspect for all FITMAN Trials, where digital images of all enterprise
atomic assets need to be modelled, composed and orchestrated in complex, intelligent artifacts.
• Collective Awareness Platforms. Social sustainability is one of the pillars of the FoF STEEP concept, fully
adopted in all FITMAN Trials. Some of them are moreover directly addressing Consumer Goods, adding
relevant aspects such as reputation, sentiment analysis, image analysis and recommendation systems.
