Designing Data-Driven Business Models: AI Integration and Industrial Data Fusion Across Hierarchical Levels

Abstract

With the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence in manufacturing

processes and the advent of Industry 4.0, businesses are undergoing a transformation

from traditional product-centric models to data-driven, service-oriented models. This

paper systematically analyzes the performance of five hierarchical levels across five

dimensions: data, processes, IT systems, interfaces, and standards, through a literature

review and industrial case analysis. It evaluates the current state and future

developments of each level and explores how intelligent sensor systems can drive the

development of new business models in manufacturing
