can technology finally support a new era for manufacturing, providing the infrastructure that will make local communities, young entrepreneurs, SMEs, big companies, cooperate to create opportunities even for the ones we have left behind?

fab labs and local competences networks can be strategic hubs for a multi-level accessible productive ecosystem

we are designers and makers, focused on strategic design and distributed manufacturing, helping communities, companies and institutions in developing sustainable products and supply chains.

we have developed a web platform that helps product designers and enterprises to collaborate and produce locally. we run 2 fab labs.

Fab Labs are not only change-MAKERS but first of all, change-ENABLERS

everything we have built our society upon is going to change or die, forever

Andrea Botto / "KA-BOOM #05" Pieve Emanuele, 2011

manufacturing changes as well

mass customization

becomes feasible (for real)

the BASF SE “customized shampoo” experiment

-7.1 millions jobs

in the next 4 years (vs. only 2.4 created)

(Forschungsunion 2013)

only a few big industrial an ICT companies will have the capitals to be invested in consistent innovation projects

limited number of actors capable to lead a tangible transformation inside the value chain

maybe only a few competences centers (universities), will be able to intercept funds for research

no actual strategies to support the empowerment of SMEs

the problem with 4.0 policies

orientation...

Fragmentation +

Centralizationeveryone can jump in almost

any business, but at the same time big players are gaining

power

individuals / communities / companies / clusters / networks / super plants

technology can finally support networks of competencies, machines

and peer-manufacturing communities in creating

local value, in the most connected way ever seen

we have a big chance:

a collaborative multi-level ecosystem where smart factories are accessible by smaller players

where SMEs are networked and adapted to continuous changes (not necessarily forced to scale)

where peer-production and open networks support individuals and communities to succeed

(of course) fablabs will keep on “doing” fablabs :)

Learning Organizations for individuals and

strategic and multi-actor alliances are critical drivers of innovation, but SMEs regularly struggle with

making purposively good use of external relationships for

innovation.

Open-innovation drivers

Van de Vrande (2009)

[in 4.0 scenarios] the use of highly specialized profiles with manufacturing skills for control and supervisions, could be a key factor from a competitiveness point of view

On-demand Skills Providers

Seghetti, F. (2016)CC Flickr user Hammerstein NWC

there’s a specific need for developing effective platform-based

product systems enabling open source for hardware and a lot to

experiment about P2P licenses and other forms of commons-based

license models

Open-IP strategy designers

making the entire new ecosystem working means interoperability and development of standards, allowing M2M communications. Makers must be involved in embracing an open attitude

Support open interoperability protocols / standards

become inclusive hubs

for local production ecosystems

for a new accessible, democratic, sustainable way of making things
