For any corporation the chain from a business idea to a winning business model is highly challenging -even in high-potential markets. In the following work a mix of scientific methods like lean management, traditional and new established ones is used to investigate the process of business model generation. Therefore a theoretical framework on existing business modelling tools is used to develop a methodology for business model generation. In a case study, this methodology is implemented in the ABB building control product line searching for winning business models in the area of energy management solutions and its feasibility is evaluated afterwards resulting in three business models. Finally, it is shown to what degree even product lines in large corporations can act like innovative and agile start-ups.

Although traditionally seen as separate entities, factory and building automation systems are interdependent. Approaching the management of energy consumption in such settings in a holistic manner would lead to significant benefits in terms of performance. This paper presents an implementation of an ecosystem oriented energy management solution that considers both machines directly implicated in the production process, and the built environment the equipment resides in. The solution proposed is an embedded service oriented monitoring application applied to a real multirobot production testbed residing in a built environment similar to the situation in a real factory.
