Smart Connected Supplier Network

TNO

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:

One common semantic language to exchange: orders, forecast, TPDs, BoM, drawings, invoices, logistical information, catalogues, and measurement data.
Seamless technical agreements between Service Providers to ensure the promise of Connecting Once - Communicate with everyone. The underlying SCSN infrastructure is based on the reference architecture developed by the International Data Spaces Association. The SCSN Foundation created standard IDS Connectors and Data Apps, which can be used by service providers. These service providers, i.e. integrator parties, created off-the-shelve integrations with a complete portfolio of ERP systems. This way, they can very easily connect manufacturing companies to the network.

BENEFITS:

Seamless scalable integrations for manufacturing companies for exchanging purchase-to-pay information
Reduction in administrative burden, faster time-to-market, lower IT integration costs
IT service providers only need a single integration

DASLOGIS - Dutch Data Spaces for Logistics

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.

Metal Domain Data Space - M4.0

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.

BENEFITS:

The MARKET 4.0 Metal Domain Data Space makes the selection of manufacturing equipment simpler and more efficient, getting to a better result in less time.
It is flexible and offers two solutions:
1. Connecting equipment manufacturer repositories with a single IDS connector. The equipment manufacturers do not require knowledge of the IDS RAM. Only the connector owner needs to have it.
2. Connecting one service with multiple data providers via IDS connectors. The benefit of this is that the data provider controls the data flow and is independent of the connector provider.

Q

Mobility Data Space

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.

BENEFITS:

secures data sovereignty by establishing common rules for trustworthy data transactions
reduces the economic and technical dependence on digital platforms of large private providers
creates a basis for a cross-modal and intermodal mobility system

Energy Data Space (EnDaSpace)

Fraunhofer IEE | Fraunhofer IWES | Fraunhofer ISST | Fraunhofer IOSB-INA | Fraunhofer IOSB-AST

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.

BENEFITS:

Provision of operational wind data resource
Digital Service for Calculation of an optimized schedule

Q

Vehicle Charging

EDF

Electric Vehicles drivers can find charging their cars confusing and worrying:

Multiple smartphone apps/RFID cards needed to access different public charging networks
Varied pricing rates and structures
Limited interoperability of networks
Difficulty to plan long journeys across multiple networks
Users must plan their journeys more akin to that of a commuter using public transport.
Users can find charging points not working / already in use

All is exacerbated if a driver does not have a home charger or lives in an apartment block with no charging facilities (which is likely at the early stage of EV market development).

There are many data sources separately held that could unlock solution and value if they were aggregated and centralised for use and analysis. We propose to enhance roaming standards to allow operators to offer enhanced services that enable customers to freely move and charge between their home charger and partnering public charging networks, allowing a view of all of their EV ‘fuel’ in one place.

BENEFITS:

This service will improve the EV’s owner experience, by dematerializing the payment amd facilitating the planification of a long journey
It will enable real time connection with charging points (CP), in order to monitor CP availability and CP failures

Q

Wind and Solar Assets modeling

EDF

When it comes to manage efficiently and effectively the renewable assets and all the O&M actions for the different actors (Manufacturers, Owners, Developers, Operators, ...), the difficulties to access to data exploitable in a cross functional way by these different profiles of actors and the different digital systems mobilized represents a real challenge.

The wind and solar description model is the digital backbone to federate all the businesses and its ecosystem around one single source of truth from “DESIGN, MODIFICATION to others REFRESHMENT”. This structured, agnostic asset management description support business process orchestration in a context of new business model refocused on growth of decentralized and distributed energy and carbon neutrality "as a service".

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.

BENEFITS:

Opportunity to build comprehensive models, analytics frameworks and improve multiparty collaboration capabilities needed to support digital ecosystems. It lays foundations of virtual plants with their benefits
Backbone for renewables operator to ensure continuity of technical data along lifecycle

Data Sharing Coalition - Green Loans

Data Sharing Coalition

In this use case, the consumer will be enabled to use their energy data to receive support with making their house more sustainable. This support can range from sustainability advice to a favourable “Green Loan” for investments in energy saving measures (e.g. heat pumps or solar cells). The consumer shares data on his or her energy consumption with an intermediary and/or loan provider, who in turn is able to assess potential savings from certain energy saving measures. This can be standalone advice but can also be incorporated in advice on a loan to finance these energy saving measures.

This use case gives the consumer more control over their energy data, as they can decide to use their data to access advice or attractive financial value propositions. With their new “green loans” and input for sustainability advice, financial institutes are able to support the transition to a more sustainable society.
