Fractured/Lack of communication between the Digital and Physical
Industry: Defence
No sure how much of a Roadblock this is in the commercial world but it is definitely a Roadblock within a defence operational environment.
Assets that are provided to the MOD do not always have the capability to transfer data in real time; the lack of logistic communication has always been an issue when dealing with the A2 Echelons (Frontline) and further back down the Forward and Reverse Supply Chain, until good communication is established.
As part of the Design & Manufacturing Phase of a project, these requirements are often traded out because of cost and the known lack of ability to transfer this data. So even when operating where communications are good, there is no ability on the asset to automatically connect and transfer the data to the Digital.
HUMS data is a prime example of this information transfer Roadblock. The platforms do have the ability to capture this data but getting it off the platform and dealing with the different Security Classifications and aggregation of the data is another problem.
A lot of work has already been completed as part of the Logistic Coherence Information Architecture (LCIA) (Subject to Change) with regard to the data and what is required where.
Just a bit on the CADMID life cycle for Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) attached.
Hope this hits the mark and is an interesting discussion point 🙂
