The aim of the "Digital Supply Chain Adoption Curve" - DSCAC - project is to provide a product roadmap that helps deliver the vision of a fully integrated, digital supply chain. While the vision is not new, it has been stifled by a lack of adoption. That's despite the fact that such an integration could deliver significant value in terms of efficiency, agility and security.-Yet, the vision has been held back by the fact that tools don't address needs and fears of supply chain participants, particularly SME's. Challenges include, among others, (a) companies fears related to sharing intellectual property, as well as (b) the inadequacy of digital tools, particularly at SME level, and the related necessity.Through its previous work on both connected Manufacturing Execution Systems and research related to light weight digital supply chain tools, Authentise discovered a myriad of opportunities potentially exist that deliver value but, in falling short of full integration, address some of the challenges that have prevented this full integration from occurring. Intermediate products that address a particular need while limiting the information requirement, the adoption of a fully digital supply chain can be sped up. It is important that these tools are considered holistically to ensure that they are contributing to the vision of a fully integrated supply chain.Thus, in this feasibility study the main aim is to learn (including reviewing existing solutions and literature and questioning key supply chain stakeholders), design (including identifying potential product areas - both served and unserved - and compiling full product definitions on each of them), and test (including high level test with industry interviews and granular test in the TWI test bed) an integrated digital supply chain.The result is not just a report but a full set of product definitions that industry participants can use to identify and de-risk potential market opportunities. This type of holistic review yielding a product roadmap has not been available previously. The combination of research organisations (JI4C, TWI) with a software vendor (Authentise) and a certification agency (Lloyd's Register) will ensure that these solutions have both regulatory and academic rigor whilst maintaining an action oriented approach that software vendors can use to deliver real-world results, which may be pursued through a follow on Industrial Research application.

“数字供应链采用曲线”（DSCAC）项目的目的是提供一个产品路线图，帮助实现完全集成的数字供应链愿景。虽然这一愿景并不新鲜，但由于缺乏采用而受到扼杀。尽管这样的集成可以在效率，敏捷性和安全性方面提供显着的价值。然而，这一愿景受到了阻碍，因为工具不能解决供应链参与者，特别是中小企业的需求和恐惧。挑战包括（a）企业对共享知识产权的担忧，以及（B）数字化工具的不足，特别是在中小企业层面，以及相关的必要性。通过之前对互联制造执行系统的研究和与轻量级数字供应链工具相关的研究，Authentise发现了无数潜在的机会，这些机会可以提供价值，但在未能实现全面融合的情况下，应对一些阻碍全面融合的挑战。满足特定需求的中间产品，同时限制信息需求，可以加快采用完全数字化的供应链。重要的是，这些工具被认为是全面的，以确保他们是一个完全集成的供应链的愿景作出贡献。因此，在这个可行性研究的主要目的是了解（包括审查现有的解决方案和文献，并询问关键的供应链利益相关者），设计（包括确定潜在的产品领域-服务的和未服务的-并汇编每个领域的完整产品定义），和测试（包括通过行业访谈进行的高水平测试和TWI测试平台中的粒度测试）集成数字供应链。结果不仅仅是一份报告，而是一套完整的产品定义，行业参与者可以使用它来识别和降低潜在市场机会的风险。这种产生产品路线图的全面审查以前是没有的。研究机构（JI 4C，TWI）与软件供应商（Authentise）和认证机构（Lloyd's Register）的结合将确保这些解决方案具有监管和学术严谨性，同时保持面向行动的方法，软件供应商可以使用该方法来提供真实世界的结果，这可以通过后续的工业研究应用程序来实现。
