Speakers: Thomas Harde, Senior Consultant, German Edge Cloud & Sven Löffler, Head of GTM AI & Data, T-Systems
Language: English (German session on 06.05.2026)
Across the manufacturing industry, the direction is clear: more transparency, higher efficiency, and greater resilience in production through data and AI. Yet in practice, data remains fragmented across shopfloor systems and enterprise IT, OT/IT integration is complex, and connecting to ecosystems like Catena-X still feels like a major transformation project rather than a natural step.
As a result, many initiatives stop at pilot phase—delivering insights, but not scaling into real operational impact. What’s missing is a practical way to turn distributed industrial data into connected, usable, and scalable value.
German Edge Cloud & T-Systems: From isolated use cases to scalable, production-ready solutions
This is where German Edge Cloud and T-Systems combine strengths to close the gap between concept and execution. The joint offering combines:
- German Edge Cloud ONCITE Digital Production System: Industrial SaaS that collects, harmonizes, and operationalizes shopfloor data for production use cases
- T-Systems Connect & Integrate: Secure integration of IT/OT systems, onboarding into data ecosystems like Catena-X, and scalable cloud operations
Together, they create a ready-to-use industrial foundation that connects shopfloor, enterprise IT, and data ecosystems—and makes data usable for analytics and Industrial AI.
Instead of complex custom projects, companies get standardized, deployable building blocks that work in real production environments.
Get started in weeks, not months
With this approach, manufacturers can quickly move from data availability to real operational value:
- End-to-end traceability of components and batches across production and supply chains
- Early detection of production deviations using AI-based analysis and root-cause insights
- Secure and compliant data sharing via Catena-X and other ecosystems
This enables companies to start with a focused use case, achieve fast measurable results, and scale step by step toward a fully connected, AI-driven production environment.
What you will learn in our webinar:
- How data ecosystems create new opportunities for collaboration and value creation and how to connect your data across systems and partners
- How Industrial AI is applied today to improve production quality, efficiency, and transparency
- How ONCITE and T-Systems integration services work together to turn raw shopfloor data into usable insights
- How to start with a single use case and scale toward an industrial data platform
