Video - Data Space Pathway

The Data Space pathway of the Connected Factories project provides a conceptual and operational framework where manufacturing companies could position themselves and their industrial cases with respect to a more mature and aware take-up and exploitation of the Data they produce.

Data Spaces represent one of the fundamental enablers, allowing the full exploitation of Data Economy business models of Open Data, Data Marketplaces and Trusted Data Ecosystems. For instance, in a Smart Autonomous Factories scenario, Data Spaces support dynamic multi-stakeholder industrial assets monitoring and control, enabling predictive maintenance and substantial reduction of environmental footprint. In a Collaborative Product-Service scenario, Data Spaces (often associated to Digital Product Passports) are able to collect, integrate and harmonise highly distributed datasets, in space and in time, along the whole lifecycle of the product, enabling new service-oriented business. In a Hyperconnected Factories scenario, Data Spaces are able to model heterogeneous, complex and dynamic supply and delivery business ecosystems by adopting common standard data models and business processes, finally enabling order-capacity matchmaking and One-of-a-Kind production.

The Data Space pathway is composed of 5 levels, characterised by increasing maturity degrees of the manufacturing company / industrial case towards a full exploitation of Data Economy in Manufacturing.
