Industry 4.0 software platforms target creation, provisioning and operation of industrial applications, e.g., on a shopfloor. Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), one pillar of Industry 4.0, lead to new demands. The funded project IIP-Ecosphere designs a novel, AI-enabled Industry 4.0 platform. As a basis, we applied two complementing requirements views, namely usage and functional view inspired by IIRA, and collected 67 usage view scenarios and 141 top level functional requirements. In this paper, we summarize our experiences on the requirements collection and discuss their effect on the yet realized platform.
