The aim of the Prototyping Open Innovation Models cluster is to design and develop a new crowd sourced food and package design and innovation platform comprised of a suite of ICT tools for state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and implementing "customers in the loop" co-creation product development processes. The platform and the tools will enable (i) Harvesting content from the crowd and lead users, (ii) Synthesising content into an actionable format, and (iii) Integrating design and production systems. The idea for the platform is inspired by behaviours that are emerging on social media sites that see participants congregate around a current issue (citizen journalism - Arab Spring), ICT problems (user fora), leisure activities (maker/hacker communities - Ikea Hacker, Hackerspaces, food hacking), knowledge (Wikipedia), citizen science (Nasa's Stardust@home), and create and share content around such aspects.We are in an age of participation, where consumers no longer need to be on the periphery of development. Companies are increasingly finding that ideas and innovations originate from outside their organisations. 'Crowd-sourcing' is gathering pace, as companies seek to tap into the global knowledge base through their 'open innovation' strategies. Brands need to develop new relationships with Prosumers in which they may become a substantial part of the design and development process. We propose to apply this model of behaviour to explore opportunities for open innovation whereby a disparate group of individuals congregate around food and packaging design and production (two of the largest industry sectors in the UK). Packaging is not only a container, but it is one of the means of communication of the product that will make it recognized and remembered. The platform and plug-in tools comprise a virtual food product development environment that aims to de-bottleneck and streamline the food innovation pipeline by a cloud-based software platform and through the use of open innovation models to engage the consumer in the product development loop. This will significantly shorten the time to market for such new products by aligning and integrating design, manufacturing processes and systems with people. The objectives of the cluster are:- To design, develop, test and evaluate open innovation models for food manufacturing with real case studies from our industrial collaborators focused on enabling conversation and collaboration between consumers and brands for developing new food products - To design and implement mechanisms to feedback the 'Crowd's' needs and real world use, interaction and experience and translate these into design specifications of desired attributes for the food product they wish to consume, by collaborating directly with product development and manufacturing specialists- To develop facilities to allow a range of formal and informal relationships (interaction models) to be managed in a manner that is sensitive to the issues of privacy, IP and responsibility - To develop the methodology, ICT tools and a knowledge base to convert desired attributes of food into food product and packaging specification that can be produced and delivered to the consumer- To develop responsive manufacturing models and an ICT toolset to enable fast response to new and emerging food products by flexibly aligning and coordinating manufacturing resource to such needs- To implement and integrate all tools and methodologies into a collaborative cloud-based ICT platform enabling the digital collaboration between consumers, product developers and manufacturers- To conduct a series of feasibility studies identified jointly with our industrial partners to test and demonstrate our approach, methodologies and ICT tools- To conduct a series of workshops, seminars and outreach activities to disseminate our findings and methodologies and develop and extend our industrial user network

原型开放创新模型集群的目标是设计和开发一个新的众包食品和包装设计和创新平台，该平台由一套用于最先进制造流程的 ICT 工具组成，并实施“循环中的客户”共同创造产品开发流程。该平台和工具将实现（i）从人群和领先用户中获取内容，（ii）将内容合成为可操作的格式，以及（iii）集成设计和生产系统。该平台的想法受到社交媒体网站上出现的行为的启发，这些网站上的参与者围绕当前问题（公民新闻 - 阿拉伯之春）、ICT问题（用户论坛）、休闲活动（创客/黑客社区 - 宜家黑客、黑客空间、食品黑客）、知识（维基百科）、公民科学（美国宇航局的 Stardust@home）聚集在一起，并围绕这些方面创建和共享内容。 正处于参与时代，消费者不再需要处于发展的边缘。公司越来越多地发现想法和创新源自组织外部。随着公司寻求通过“开放式创新”战略利用全球知识库，“众包”正在加快步伐。品牌需要与产消者建立新的关系，使他们成为设计和开发过程的重要组成部分。我们建议应用这种行为模式来探索开放式创新的机会，让不同的个体聚集在食品和包装设计和生产（英国最大的两个行业部门）周围。包装不仅仅是一个容器，而且是产品的传播手段之一，可以使其被识别和记住。该平台和插件工具组成了一个虚拟食品开发环境，旨在通过基于云的软件平台并通过使用开放式创新模型让消费者参与产品开发循环来消除瓶颈并简化食品创新流程。通过将设计、制造流程和系统与人员进行协调和集成，这将显着缩短此类新产品的上市时间。该集群的目标是： - 通过我们的工业合作者的真实案例研究，设计、开发、测试和评估食品制造的开放式创新模型，重点是促进消费者和品牌之间的对话和协作，以开发新食品 - 设计和实施机制，反馈“大众”的需求和现实世界的使用、互动和体验，并通过直接与产品开发合作，将这些转化为他们希望消费的食品所需属性的设计规范 和制造专家 - 开发设施，以对隐私、知识产权和责任问题敏感的方式管理一系列正式和非正式关系（交互模型） - 开发方法、ICT 工具和知识库，将所需的食品属性转化为可以生产并交付给消费者的食品和包装规格 - 开发响应式制造模型和 ICT 工具集，以便能够快速响应新兴食品 灵活调整和协调制造资源以满足此类需求 - 将所有工具和方法实施并集成到基于云的协作 ICT 平台中，从而实现消费者、产品开发商和制造商之间的数字协作 - 与我们的工业合作伙伴共同开展一系列可行性研究，以测试和演示我们的方法、方法和 ICT 工具 - 举办一系列讲习班、研讨会和外展活动，以传播我们的研究成果和成果 方法论并开发和扩展我们的工业用户网络
