In today’s dynamic automotive industry, speed, transparency, and trust are everything. When a quality or compliance issue arises, immediate action can make the difference between a minor disruption and a costly production halt.
With the launch of the Blocking Notifications use case in Catena-X, a new era of collaborative supply chain management has begun — and T-Systems is at the forefront, enabling seamless connectivity and compliance with its Connect & Integrate all-in-one solution.
What is Catena-X “Blocking Notifications” use case?
The Blocking Notifications use case allows suppliers to instantly inform OEMs and higher-tier partners when a specific part, batch, or component needs to be blocked due to quality, safety, or compliance concerns.
The use case is an extension of quality control within the Traceability use case of Catena-X and built on CX-0125 standards. However, at the same time it offers the flexibility to be treated as a stand-alone low-effort use-case to get started into Catena-X.
By securely exchanging this information through the Catena-X data ecosystem, all stakeholders can act immediately — halting production, isolating affected parts, and protecting downstream operations.
This marks a major step toward near real-time, trusted collaboration across the entire automotive value chain.
