The aim is to demonstrate and scale a multi-site digitally networked production ecosystem with resilient, data-driven and sustainable value creation to strengthen European industry. The speed and flexibility of value creation by implementing the technical architecture of the data ecosystem in the sense of GAIA-X will be demonstrated. The unique selling point of the approach is the creation of a European knowledge database as a platform for long-term secure and sovereign holistic data management in the cloud. To connect machines to the platform, a vertical integration solution will be created, taking into account the interfaces between machines, tool and clamping systems, edge devices, on-premise solutions and ERP/MES systems. Developed intelligent data connectors are used to aggregate and pre-process data to differentiate between Smart Data and Big Data. The calamity-reducing effects and resilience are verified by means of a stress test to evaluate the data-driven production. At the end of the project, digital services will be available via GAIA-X, which will control the self-orchestration of the data and be able to compensate and adjust for disturbance variables. To exploit the results, the European knowledge database and the vertical integration solution developed will be made available to companies and research institutions, including the digital services.
