AAS Dataspace for Everybody

– make AAS Dataspaces easy!

Data plays a central role in the world of Industry 4.0. The efficient use and secure exchange of information between different players along the value chain are crucial for success. 

Data rooms make it very easy to share data and digital twins. To ensure that everyone retains control over their own data, we implement a federated data room. In a federated data room, there is no central operator - in fact, companies each operate their own part of the data room and thus ensure that it remains available independently of external operators. In order to be compatible with other data rooms, standardized technologies such as the administration shell and the Eclipse Dataspace Connector must be used. This enables a seamless exchange of information. Different dataspaces and even federations can still define their own rules, such as access rights or negotiation options. This means that parts of the data room, such as a product catalog, can be made publicly available, while sensitive data can be subject to strict conditions and remain physically within your company. 

Our data room offers you a scalable, secure and standardized infrastructure that meets the requirements of modern industrial processes. With our platform, you can rely on innovation, security and interoperability. Implement use cases such as the digital product passport, sharing the carbon footprint of your assets or other exciting and new digital business models and set yourself apart from the competition!

Our solution for your digital processes

– the AAS Dataspace for Everybody

With the AAS Dataspace for Everybody, together with NetApp, we offer you a platform that supports you in the prototypical setup, management and subsequent scaling of your asset administration shell data rooms. Our platform enables simple integration of different systems and provides the necessary infrastructure to digitally map and optimize your physical and logical assets and processes.

 

Focus on added value - we take care of the infrastructure:

Implement your use cases together with your partners quickly and with full focus on your added value. We take care of the operation and maintenance of the Dataspace infrastructure for you “as a service”. We provide a highly scalable and always up-to-date environment. We offer easy-to-use blueprints for different use cases. Data sovereignty always remains with you - you decide which data is made available to whom.

 

Your data remains local, we connect the systems:

We integrate your IT systems and device data (OT) into the Dataspace with our integration components. For you, this means providing all relevant data points without any migration effort. Instead, the information remains in your systems and servers. We also enable integration with other dataspaces such as Catena-X through our integration of the Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC).

 

Preconfigured data rooms and infrastructure:

Benefit from our experience and use our preconfigured data rooms, which are based on the latest security standards and open interfaces. This saves you valuable time during implementation and ensures a rapid market launch of your digitalization projects.

 

Scalable solutions for your requirements:

Whether for small companies or large industrial players - we offer you tailor-made solutions that grow with your company. Use our scalable data rooms to digitize your production processes and manage your data securely.

 

Training environments and support:

We provide you with training environments so that you can prepare your employees to use the platform. Our experts support you in setting up and optimizing your data rooms and digital twins so that you can benefit from the advantages of digitalization quickly and efficiently. We can also provide training if required.

Advantages of our platform

  • Easy to use: Our infrastructure is extremely easy to use. The infrastructure blueprints allow you to keep complexity under control at all times.
  • Increased efficiency: By combining digital twins and data rooms, you optimize your processes, increase your efficiency and set yourself apart from your competitors.
  • Greater flexibility: You can flexibly adapt your data rooms and digital twins to your changing requirements.
  • Security at the highest level: Our solutions meet the highest security standards and offer you the necessary control over your data.
  • Future-proof: By using open standards, you are ideally prepared for future developments in Industry 4.0.

Our services - tailored to your needs!

  • IDTA & Research: With the AAS Dataspace for Everybody, you can easily share digital twins with customers, prospects and business partners. IDTA members receive free access to an open data space in which this technology can be tested. We also contribute our infrastructure to research consortia for free use. Get in touch with us!
  • Your own data rooms: Use our dataspace tenants to create your own data rooms with Fraunhofer technology. You determine the rules for access and data access. Your contacts, customers and business partners can access your data room without restrictions or fees. We provide the technology and support you with the implementation.
  • Federated data rooms: Do you have different partners that need to be organized in different data rooms? Or would you like to create shared data rooms across companies? With our technology, you can create federated data rooms in which selected rights of a data room have overarching validity. You do not need a central operator. Instead, everyone operates their own parts of the federated data room and controls the access rights to their own data. This creates redundancy - the data room remains available even if individual operators fail.
  • Show rooms: We are also happy to support you in the development of (software) products for digital twins and data rooms and in their permanent presentation. Get in touch with us!

From prototype implementation to enterprise-ready solution with 24/7 support and service level agreement

Your prototype is convincing, customers are queuing up and you need a productive environment with a service level agreement and comprehensive support? Together with our partners such as ComputaCenter, Credativ and CongaTec, we enable you to run your data room application productively. Migration is extremely simple - operations continue seamlessly thanks to snapshotting.
