Technology Readiness Level (TRL) is a methodology to estimate the maturity of a technology. Based on observations, formulations, experimentations, and running feedbacks the TRL approach is used to position the progress of a technology on a scale ranging from observed concepts (1) to validated operating systems (9).
A Proof of Concept, or mostly referred as “PoC”, is the earliest step of development of any Use Case within digital organisation.

Digital Transition requires agile and efficient Innovation management, especially in collaborative mode. This article describes the forthcoming ISO 50501 Innovation Management Standard and explains how this new standard and related series (ISO 50502, ISO 50503, ISO 50504, ISO 50505) can help to improve innovation processes. It takes the example of the collaborative platform Industrie 4.0 Smart Platform® as an existing tool to facilitate the implementation of the ISO 50501 standards in practice for collaborative innovation.
This post reminds the history of Industrie 4.0 and explains the key features supporting this technology to deploy internet of things (IOT) in practice. In conclusion it shares good practices to avoid misunderstanding in using the uncorrect English spelling Industry 4.0.
Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market has grown up by 30% in 2017 in respect with the number of projects sanctioned for execution with EPC contracts. This number confirms our last year forecast and gives credit to our estimation of 20% to 35% growth for 2018. This market upturn is driven by a market shift from the IOCs to the NOCs and Independent companies, representing both nearly 80% of the capital expenditure as operator on the next five years. As a results the projects get smaller and run on fast-track requiring more agility from the sales organizations for detection and capture.
