SmartHaPSS – Harmonization of the development of complex product smart service systems at KMU

The BMBF-funded research project “SmartHaPSSS” aims to identify ways to harmonize the development of smart products and services as well as new business models while taking sustainability aspects into account.
In doing so, value creation and damage creation potentials and risks, which result from the increasing spread and use of the Internet in linking products, processes and services, are addressed.
As a result, agile methods and processes for harmonized, sustainable product-smart service systems to tap additional innovation potential will be developed and transferred into concrete tools and methods.
