Midterm Event
The first 12 months have flown by!!! ✈️ ✈️
The M-X project to define and plan a collaborative data ecosystem takes stock at the halfway point and starts the second half of the project!
The 14 partners gathered in Berlin to discuss the results to date and the next steps with representatives of the @BMWK and the project management organization @VDI-TZ at the milestone meeting.
The aim of Aerospace-X is to create a collaborative ecosystem for sustainability and the circular economy in the aerospace industry and to make supply chains resilient and future-proof through digitalization and data sovereignty.
🎯 What has been achieved so far? - Where are we today?
● Development of the specific requirements of the aerospace industry for infrastructure and use cases
● Definition of data models, processes and architecture
● Close coordination with the other funded projects in the @Manufacturing-X topic groups
● Successful presentation of a mockup for the Digital Product Passport at the Hannover Messe 2025 (note link)
🗝️ Key learnings
● Sufficient involvement of SMEs in the design of business processes and data models to ensure feasibility and integration into the existing production and IT environment
● Close coordination with other branches of industry as part of the Manufacturing X Guidance Board to achieve interoperability and synergies through common standards and data models
● Early agreement in the consortium on specific deliverables (e.g. concepts and standards vs. software development; open source vs. proprietary solutions)
📅 What happens next?
● Development and use of a testbed based on the Smart Systems Hub
● Development of prototypes for the projected use cases
● Development of a concept for the management and operation of a future data ecosystem for the aerospace industry
● Validation of interoperability with the data spaces of other industrial sectors
