Advances in internet communication technologies and data analytics are occurring at a much quicker pace than at any other time in history. The Australian OIIE™ Interoperability Laboratory aims to meet these demands by piloting new business models to support asset intensive industries, such as:
By shifting information and operational technology systems from ad-hoc bespoke implementations to a standards-based model, the Laboratory aims to deliver analytics to enable software and service providers to focus on their value-add proposition.
Partnering with industry we will enable enterprises to investigate the integration of OIIE technologies into their digital organisational frameworks. We will also partner with other researchers to leverage the Laboratory’s new technologies in partnership with other participating organisations.
The OIIE Interoperability Laboratory will be affiliated with the OIIE Australian Working Group, which aims to promote industry interoperability and engage with Australian SMEs to help them provide unique services to projects. As part of its involvement with the Future Energy Exports Cooperative Research Centre (FEnEx CRC), the Laboratory will provide cross-project infrastructure and capability for the FEnEx CRC to deliver its research programme. The Laboratory also supports the OIIE OGI Pilot, providing a platform for Australian participants to engage internationally with their industry.
The OIIE Interoperability Laboratory provides several OIIE instances for research and industry purposes. Each instance will comprise core infrastructure conforming to OIIE Specifications, including the:
Adelaide University, partners, and participants will be able to provide services over this core, standards-based, vendor-neutral infrastructure, together developing an ever growing ecosystem to meet industry needs.
There are currently two OIIE instances available that will be scaled up over time. These include:
