Trust is one of the highest rated requirements for collaboration in industrial environments, such as material provider and productive consumer, e.g. automotive production. Especially when exchange of sensitive data is required purely trust is not sufficient due of the fact that access to IT systems is outside of human’s control. A technical solution is mostly required to ensure data sovereignty on both ends, establishing trust by using technology.
German Edge Cloud
With ONCITE, companies can process and store data on site before they exchange it over a public cloud – with data sovereignty being ensured across the entire process. ONCITE is a compact computing center that is based on edge cloud technology. At the heart of it is the IDS–certified Trusted Supplier Connector. The user interface monitors and controls any exchange of data between two partners. Using the Connector, partners can evaluate data and make it available for being used by their own or by OEMs’ systems.

SAP wants to make use of IDS data sharing concepts to improve business processes by providing smart data apps which facilitate intercompany collaboration.
The example of the „collaborative warranty and quality management“ apps illustrate how repair shops are incentivized to share vehicle quality data along the manufacturing supply chain, irrespective of their relevance for warranty claims. Suppliers of any tier gain transparency of quality issues from different downstream branches. When suppliers perform a root cause analysis of such quality issues, they can integrate downstream or upstream quality and usage data which is shared subject to usage policies.

The OPC UA Factory Connector is the gateway to the IDS and connects any factory to any IDS participant such as other customers or the Smart Factory Web.
The connector combines the benefits of IDS connectors (secure and standardized communication, data usage control) with the interoperability technologies and applications of Industrie 4.0. In consequence, any Asset Administration Shell (AAS) in the factory can be published and secured over IDS. The OPC UA Factory Connector is able to retrieve the data from the AAS and verify which partner of our supply chain is allowed to use which data element. After the validation and enforcement of the data usage policies, the selected data elements are made visible in our demonstrator.

CHALLENGE:
Maritime shipping companies are required by law to transmit a set of important data before entering every port. There are various industry solutions for this data exchange such as the Veracity ecosystem in the market today. All of them are very complex and time intensive to manage.
Providers and organizations on shore do not have access to ship data like emissions, fuel consumption and route details. Data access agreements between data providers such as ship owners, authorities or shipyard equippers as well as service providers that take care of for example data analysis and process improvements must be negotiated individually. A common ecosystem for data exchange from ship to shore , that simplifies the process and does not exist.
SUCCESS:
The IDS-based Maritime Data Space brings together all participants and platforms in one trusted and secure data ecosystem. It ensures transparent access to ship-related data, enables secure, stable and efficient communication between ship and shore, and provides value-added and trusted services for ship operations.
Autonomous shipping, environmental sustainability, industry 4.0 technologies, and the connection between ships are current trends that the Maritime Data Space addresses in an innovative way. The combination of the Norwegian DNV GL Veracity data platform with an IDS-based ecosystem strengthens Norway’s position in international maritime data exchange and sharing. Last but not least, the Maritime Data Space satisfies customer and regulatory demand for transparency.

CHALLENGE:
Smart Connected Supplier Network is an initiative of manufacturing companies and their IT-suppliers in the high-tech manufacturing supply chain. The aim is to facilitate cross-factory communication and thus ensuring supply chain transparency and interoperability, resulting in an overall productivity improvement of 20%. This is realized by reducing the administrative burden and facilitating collaboration between supply chain partners. Unlike traditional centralized platform initiatives, SCSN is fully based on the principles of digital and data sovereignty. There is no central entity controlling the data. A non-profit foundation chairs the data sharing agreements, but the implementation is done by the involved IT-suppliers. Unlike existing EDI-initiatives, these agreements not only address the semantics, but also the technical and legal aspects between partners in the ecosystem.
SUCCESS:
SCSN is designed as a highly scalable solution by providing a network approach (four-corner model) which consists of the following two aspects:

CHALLENGE:
To adapt to changing market dynamics, organizations are collaborating more than ever in increasingly complex and agile supply chains, requiring a flexible exchange of many (often commercially sensitive) datasets with a variety of stakeholders.
Organizations in logistics are currently developing and implementing digitization strategies to adapt and prepare to extract value from these opportunities. However, the scale of the challenge transcends the boundaries of organizations. This project builds on the work and analysis of the needs, approach, positioning and roadmap for a Dutch logistics data space in the recently published white paper on the logistics infrastructure for data sharing.
SUCCESS:
Motivated because of conclusions from the white paper and previous research that there is a need for a Dutch Logistics Data Space (DLDS) that expands the limited functions of the current framework approaches for logistics agreements (such as iSHARE) and meets international developments and standards as also applicable in other sectors in the increasingly cross-sectoral and intertwined supply chains. That is why the DASLOGIS project aims to develop a DLDS: a digital virtual environment or ecosystem that enables the finding and controlled sharing of (potentially) sensitive data. It offers flexibility, extensibility, and personalization to support the three main types of logistics data exchange: "sharing transaction data for operational optimization," "sharing (big) data for data for data analysis," and "supply chain data sharing for real-time visibility."
DLDS will be based on the generic and internationally standardized IDS reference architecture model, supplemented and adapted to Dutch logistics needs where applicable. The Proof of Concept (PoC) of the DLDS is validated using three functional prototypes. The project partners will also demonstrate and assess the technical feasibility and business value of a DLDS for the Dutch logistics sector based on logistics use case.

CHALLENGE:
Selecting the most suitable new manufacturing equipment is a time-consuming challenge for many customers. There’s no easy way to digest all available information about options, so customers must browse the internet, attend trade shows and talk to multiple experts in order to reach an informed decision. We wondered if data spaces could help integrate and streamline this process. We focused specifically on the metal domain.
SUCCESS:
The MARKET 4.0 Metal Domain Data Space is based on the IDS Reference Architecture Model (RAM). It describes a robust and efficient solution for linking the inventories of different equipment manufacturers to a MARKET 4.0 service that analyses the customer’s requirements and returns the most suitable equipment options for a certain metal domain manufacturing process. The connection is made through IDS connectors and the inventories and services include essential IDS modules (i.e., clearing house, metadata broker) that guarantee a trusted data exchange.

The AI.SOV project aims to develop an IDS architecture inspired platform that will guarantee secure and sovereign data sharing among supply chain partners. The sustainable industrial data ecosystem will based on industrial platforms that are supporting the European industries to faster exchange AI results, (such as spare parts production and forecast and predictive maintenance data, or data-driven new business opportunities throughout the value-chain) along with the whole industrial and supply/value chain stakeholders, leveraging on a secure and trustworthy sharing of manufacturing data. In other words, the aim is to design, develop, setup, and deploy a platform able to support and foster data exchange between trusted parties based on self-defined data usage policies by considering data sovereignty principles.
The technical solution provided by AI.SOV will introduce a governance layer devoted to human users over the machine-to-machine data exchange layer provided by IDS. In details, the data exchange layer will comprise IDS Connectors relying on the Dynamic Attribute Provider Service for mutual authentication between machines. This will be complemented by a user agreement layer, which will allow data providers and data consumers to make deals according to well-defined processes.

The Smart Factory is a step towards the Industry 4.0 vision for smart manufacturing where different machines interact with each other without, or with minimal, human control. The use case and involved IDS Solutions provide multiple benefits. For example, machines (and the companies that operate them) can better control with whom and what data is shared, and how data consumers handle the shared data. Moreover, IDS provides a systematic way to introduce new machines / companies into the factory and no case-by-case integration solutions are needed. With the IDS certification scheme, different stakeholders (both in-factory and external) can ensure that the utilized data exchange components address required security requirements. Finally, IDS brings improved interoperability across different data exchange protocols and formats, and data models.

Engineering | Avio Aero
The scenario for trusted data exchange for aeronautics includes data exchange between engineers, design and testing centres, and aviation companies across country borders. This means that different data protection laws apply. IDS connectors ensure that data can be managed in a safe and standardized manner, allowing for better condition monitoring and detection of anomalies for quality assurance. The connector development plays a crucial role in this scenario as cost reductions for quality assurance become possible. The implementation of the Data Sovereignty principles, following the International Data Space Association Reference Architecture Model, guarantees from on hand to control the access and the usage of data (cross-countries, cross-companies, etc.), on the other hand, the creation of an ecosystem ready to be extended to satisfy new needs and communicate with existing companies using a common vocabulary.

CHALLENGE:
Intelligent traffic and mobility systems require a large amount of data in order to support decisions in the best possible way or even to take them automatically. Although countless mobility data are already collected and processed today, comprehensive utilization of these data is often not possible for technical, legal or economic reasons. With the Mobility Data Space (MDS), an open IDS-based data space that goes beyond the secure exchange of sensitive mobility data, as well as linking existing data platforms with one another (cf. Mobility Data Marketplace – MDM). In this way, comprehensive mobility data can be made available in the future without worrying about misuse of data.
SUCCESS:
The MDS enables the sovereign handling of data for digital mobility solutions. Common legal frameworks based on European data protection guidelines form the basis for this.
By linking offers from different mobility providers, individual mobility can be better combined with public transport offers and sharing providers. New possibilities also arise for traffic control by local authorities when data from private motor vehicles are combined with parking space utilization data and data from local public transport. Real-time information, for example, taking road works or traffic jams into account, allows flexible adjustment of routes for private and public transport vehicles. The perspective to be compliant with other data spaces that cover different domains create a whole new understanding of the mobility sector. The MDS will go live in the first half of 2022 as one of the first IDS-based data space operating at the market worldwide.

CHALLENGE:
The digitization of the energy transition aims to harness information from a large number of decentralized power generators. With the prospect of green hydrogen gaining importance in the energy sector, the sources of electricity supply for the electrolysis of hydrogen is important. Operation of electrolyzers need to consider availability of green electricity, actual power prices and grid situation. In this use case wind power should be used for hydrogen production when the resource is available.
SUCCESS:
Communication between the plants and systems takes place via an Energy Data Space. Here, plants exchange data according to agreed rules and under certain conditions. An IDS connector implements these rules and processes. The concept of International Data Spaces thus enables all players to make self-determined decisions about the use of their data, thus enabling their digital sovereignty.
The turbine operator provides a data resource with operational data via an IDS connector. An energy management system from a third party provides the digital service to create an optimized schedule which is then sent to the electrolyzer for operation.

Being able to share the same abstract representation of data for the wind and solar domain would allow a better understanding of the associated operations (asset management, RCA, Structural Analysis, Visual Inspection, monitoring ...) and an obvious improvement of the processes that mobilize the processing of this information. It lays foundations of virtual plants.

Focusing on decision-making around transportation as an area of critical importance, we sought to build proof of concept for many-to-many connections that could be utilized in a smart city context. Our case involved two data lakes – one associated with energy use, the other with transportation and logistics. With the help of common design principles, ecosystem, a layered approach and building blocks, we were able to connect different parties together and make trusted and harmonized data sharing a reality. In this case, the result was improved information around decision-making for transportation, but it is easy to see how this generalizes to other smart city scenarios where acquiring and integrating different data sources enables better decision-making, innovation and new service creation.

Digitize purchasing and sales processes and work together more efficiently in your logistics chain. Reduce manual work. Speed up your order process.ECI Gatewise is an initiative of ECI Software Solutions for manufacturing companies and their suppliers. The aim is to facilitate cross-factory communication and thus ensuring supply chain transparency and interoperability, resulting in an overall productivity improvement of 20%. This is realized by reducing the administrative burden and facilitating collaboration between supply chain partners.The ERP's of ECI contain this solution as a standard module. This means that all manufacturing companies with an ERP of ECI can be connected within a few hours of implementation. After this implementation, they are technically ready to do business, with all connected suppliers.The infrastructure of ECI Gatewise uses the SCSN infrastructure. The SCSN Foundation created standard IDS Connectors and Data Apps, which is used by service provider ECI Gatewise. ECI Gatewise is an off-the-shelve integration with our complete portfolio of ERP systems; Bemet, Inventive, Proteus, Ridder iQ and Trimergo. This way we can very easily connect manufacturing companies to the network.

The ADVANEO DMP is a collaboration portal that enables the data-sovereign formation of Data Spaces for data-driven applications. Thereby, integrated AI tools, data models and applications as well as free access to millions of Open Data support the development of data-driven innovation projects. For this purpose, the ADVANEO DMP is based on the reference architecture of the International Data Space Association and in the future also the GAIA-X standards.
As a result, the DMP acts as a broker service for data products: They are made globally discoverable by the marketplace with the help of their metadata. The DMP has no contact with the actual raw data at any time. These remain with the provider and are only transmitted directly to the interested party in peer-to-peer encrypted form by an IDS-Connector after successful license acquisition. If required, several parties process sensitive data in dedicated groups without access to the raw data of the other parties. Only the exploitation result is accessible to all. This enables the sharing of confidential data in value chains.
EUHubs4Data
EUHubs4Data (EUH4D) project aims to establish the European federation of data driven Innovation Hubs, through the collaboration of relevant initiatives in Europe, creating of an European federated catalogue of assets (services, data, training) and making it available at regional level by the hubs in the federation. IDS reference model has been selected as the model to enable the interoperability between services and datasets of the hubs in the federation, providing a trusted environment where to share data and the corresponding data governance features, including data sovereignty. IDSA is a partner in the project. The project is selecting 42 experiments through three rounds of open calls, where SMEs will use the assets of the federation to solve real use cases and move their data driven products and services closest to the market. These experiments will also serve as a way to check and improve the interoperability framework based on the IDS model.
To leverage the potential of European initiatives on data driven innovation, making accessible to SMEs and other small actors at regional and local level last European advances on Big Data and AI, and providing a unique environment for data driven experimentation
Deployment of components which ensure interoperability based on trust and data sovereignty for the Federation. Implementation of IDS connectors. Implementation of Identity management components (Certification Authority and Dynamic Attribute Provisioning Service) in accordance with the IDS Reference Architecture Model.

The PAIRS research project, which has now been launched and is funded by the BMWI with 10 million euros, can forecast the effects of crisis situations and derive options for action. The goal is to develop a cross-domain platform for AI-supported crisis management. This is to model crisis scenarios based on data, forecast their consequences and design recommended courses of action for users. In this way, the system will enable companies to implement early warning systems to maintain supply chains and protect overall productivity. With all of this, sovereign access to the required data is guaranteed by building upon the IDS & GAIA-X standards. With this, the solution will be able to connect to existing Data Spaces as well as to build up new ones.

The key goal of the use case is the digitalization of the customary purpose of light commercial vehicles (LCV). This will include turning equipped LCV's into participants of an IDS-powered data-economy by leveraging available data from multiple source, execute pre-defined and use case-specific algorithms and offer the computed results back to the data economy. Parts of the solution will be: 1) Deliver an IDS-compliant control unit as edge device in light commercial vehicles and 2) orchestrate a data and application framework to download and execute use case-specific application on the edge device. IDS helps in two ways: enable an easy scalability across multiple data produces and data consumers in light of European data values (sovereignty, transparency, control).
As of today, connected commercial vehicles only focus on telemetry and environmental data. Our solution will allow commercial fleets to fully digitalize the LCV within its digital process chain.

CHALLENGE:
Digitization is driving new mobility concepts. Traffic and mobility data are becoming the raw material for multimodality, automated and connected driving, and other future solutions. The MDM is right in the middle of the action.
SUCCESS:
Whenever you aim to provide or find high quality mobility data in Germany, you can hardly get around the Mobility Data Marketplace (MDM). As neutral B2B platform MDM offers suppliers and users of mobility to share, search and subscribe to traffic-relevant online data.
With its defined standards for data exchange – based on IDS components, MDM is nation’s biggest volume of information on traffic flows, traffic jams, road works, mobility options, parking facilities and more.
The MDM is continuously working to make as much mobility data as possible accessible, across different means of transport, network elements and actors. This includes mobility data that is offered parallelly on other data portals in Germany, e.g. geoportal.de, mCLOUD.de, open-data-oepnv.de. Such parallel data offers will gradually be made visible on the MDM as well. The evolution of MDM also will lead to an alignment with the Mobility Data Space (MDS) (link to previous posts) which will grant data sovereignty for MDM customers beyond the border of the marketplace and open up the entire marketplace to participants of MDS.
