But organizing a data storage using the I4.0 principles gives more flexibility and the security part is a price to pay.
We've been developing an approach to design a data management system for measuring forecasting accuracy across many time series and across multiple horizons and forecasting origins. By following the I4.0 principles the following framework has been developed:

The framework presented implements the so-called Forecast-value-added (FVA) analysis (see slide 6) while following the principles of interoperability, decentralization, real-time processing, service-orientation, and modularity.
Our general problem definition is given on slides 4-5. The I4.0 principles helped obtain a cross-platform solution for forecasting, which is simple to implement and learn, and fast in operation (applicable in production settings).
