At the same time, standardization efforts were advanced within ECLASS and ISO to provide manufacturers and end users with standardized property models and interoperable data structures. This groundwork forms the foundation upon which the Fluid 4.0 project is systematically building today.<\/p>\n<p>A key step toward operationalizing digitalization was the analysis of some 20 use cases across the entire product life cycle (PLC)\u2014from the perspectives of manufacturers, machines, and end users. Through several rounds of evaluation and selection, the seven most relevant use cases were prioritized and subsequently refined in greater detail. To deepen understanding, several moderated workshops were held in 2021, during which the use cases were refined and consolidated in terms of content. These workshops identified pain points and the expectations of various stakeholders, developed four core use cases, and defined their specific benefits for industry, machine manufacturers, and end users.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e5aa21 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"
