Industrial infrastructure
• The on-demand and flexible production mode of industry infrastructure services reduces costs and improves efficiency in
production, transaction and diffusion in the whole society
• Data from the Production environment drive the Vertical Knowledge creation
• Intent driven collaboration across domains and across layers among all the ecosystem playersAutonomous Digital Infrastructure The ICT industry is going through a deep Digital Transformation, driven by changing customer demands and by the extension of the Ecosystem to new Business Partners (Verticals) enabled by the arrival of new technologies such as 5G, Artificial Intelligence and Multi-access Edge Computing. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is announced. In order to provide end to end solutions customized to the Customers and Business Partners needs, the increasing complexity of Networks and Platforms supported by innovative technologies require to introduce a new Intelligent Framework with very high level of Automation in the Management and provisioning of services and Networks (Autonomous Digital Infrastructure - ADI). Autonomous Digital Infrastructure is based on Autonomous Networks. Autonomous Networks consist of a simplified network architecture, virtualized components, automating agents, intelligent decision engines and present self-dynamic capabilities to create intelligent business and network operations based on the concept of closed- loop controls (from TMForum) Autonomous Digital Infrastructure will reduce the complexity of the usage of ICT technical stacks and offerings and make the collaboration easier between vertical industry and ICT. There is likely to have a COMMON Architecture Pattern, that is the Autonomous Industry Infrastructure (AII) based on Autonomous Production Domains: ADI embedded AII for Manufacturing should be the backbone of Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) as well as ADI embedded AII for Digital Health should be the backbone of Digital Health as a Service (Haas)

• to discuss and conduct research about digital transformation.
• To facilitate the collaboration between Vertical industries and
ICT for Autonomous Digital Infrastructure, Smart
Manufacturing and Digital Health.Key Takeaways from GIO webinar
• ADI is a great business opportunity not only for CSPs. Operators will benefit in terms
of strong cost reduction and new revenue opportunities
• ADI evolution, standardization and deployment require a large industry
• consensus; SDOs need to collaborate to reduce the competitions and create synergy,
GIO can help at all levels
• Network Slicing is a key capability for 5G; evolution and standardization of Autonomous Networks and ADI should take care of
evolving Network Slicing in order to satisfy the Verticals requirements and needs
• AI and Machine Learning will play a key role in ADI evolution, these technologies will be everywhere from devices to
edge/cloud, they are managed, produced and owned by different players, mixed ownerships is a point of attention and it
requires security and trust
• The evolution from Cloud computing to Edge Computing is the trend and it will be the next battle-ground where Telcos can play
an important role.
• AN/ ADI is a Medium-Long Term evolution the real products deployment with AI everywhere and a significant level of
Autonomy (level 4/5) are expected in four/five years, however in 24 month time-frame tangible elements of AN, generating the
first benefits, might be available (i.e. at Level 3 – partial autonomy).
• Standards should move fast to prepare the conditions of interoperability and commercial deployment of Autonomous Networks;
the Standard stabilization should be within 2 years maximum time-frameIntelligent Slicing Creation Process in AI Slicing Management and Orchestration
