This EArly-Concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) provides funding for the identification of the fundamental barriers to the realization and adoption of an open innovation manufacturing network. The architecture for the system will be based on the open source HUBzero platform for computation and collaboration developed at Purdue University. The investigators will combine their HUBzero-derived expertise in information technology and Web 2.0 with locally available knowledge of design, manufacturing, and Indiana manufacturers to explore and test alternatives of the vision with small- to medium-size manufacturing enterprises (SMEs) and the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for which SMEs comprise the supply chain. In particular, the following areas will be investigated to identify barriers: the current internet architecture and bandwidth, access to and interoperability of simulation and analysis tools, information sharing in a competitive environment, and business models.If successful, the results of this research will help to enable the realization of a more powerful architecture for web-based manufacturing and prescribe next steps towards it implementation. An important metric of success will be the degree and extent of endorsement of the proposed architecture by its potential Small/Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) and original Equipment manufacturer (OEM) users. Another key metric will be the guidance provided by the architecture for the design of future HUBzero and internet capabilities. It is also expected that the architecture will suggest new ways for customers to interact with manufacturing enterprises. If implemented, the architecture should contribute to the transformation of current supply chains into much more nimble, innovative, yet integrated systems of systems.

这一探索性研究早期概念补助金(EIGER)为确定实现和采用开放式创新制造网络的根本障碍提供了资金。该系统的架构将基于普渡大学开发的用于计算和协作的开源HUBZO平台。调查人员将把他们在信息技术和Web 2.0方面的HUBZERO专业知识与当地现有的设计、制造和印第安纳州制造商的知识结合起来，与中小型制造企业(SME)和中小企业构成供应链的原始设备制造商(OEM)一起探索和测试愿景的替代方案。特别是，将对以下领域进行调查以确定障碍：当前的互联网体系结构和带宽，模拟和分析工具的访问和互操作性，竞争环境中的信息共享，以及商业模式。如果成功，这项研究的结果将有助于实现更强大的基于网络的制造体系结构，并制定下一步实施它的步骤。成功的一个重要衡量标准将是潜在的中小型企业(SME)和原始设备制造商(OEM)用户对拟议架构的认可程度和程度。另一个关键指标将是该架构为未来HUBZO和互联网功能的设计提供的指导。预计该架构还将为客户与制造企业互动提供新的方式。如果实施，该架构应该有助于将目前的供应链转变为更灵活、更具创新性、但又更完整的系统系统。
