Data Space for Manufacturing (deployment)

Expected Outcome:

The awarded proposal(s) will set up and deploy data space(s) for manufacturing at scale, which will stay available after the runtime of the project, delivering industrial data sharing among manufacturing companies and service providers. The solutions must be characterized by a high degree of user orientation in terms of trustworthiness, data sovereignty of the companies and manageability.

More specifically, awarded proposal(s) will need to deliver:

• Technical infrastructure for the deployment of the Common European Manufacturing Data Space(s).
• Data governance documentation, comprising a set of rules of legislative, administrative and contractual nature covering access rights, processing, using and sharing data in a trustful and transparent manner.
• Code of conduct and contract template.
• Guidance/training documents for the stakeholders willing to join the data space(s).
• Once the data space(s) is/are deployed: quarterly and on an ad hoc basis reporting on usage, problems detected, and solutions provided.

Objective

The goal of this action is to significantly scale up the deployment and use of the data space(s) for manufacturing by reaching a critical mass of manufacturing industries sharing industrial data and improving company operations. In addition, the action aims to support data-driven transition to a greener and circular economy, also by enabling new business models, for example, those based on a Manufacturing-As-A-Service approach and extended Reality for industrial virtual worlds. The action will also contribute to the implementation of measures that accelerate the twin green and digital transition of manufacturing industries, such as the proposed Net Zero Industry Act as part of the Green Deal Industrial Plan.
