ADIS, a leading Tier-1 supplier, partnered with T-Systems to enable scalable, Catena-X-compliant data exchange. Leveraging the "Connect & Integrate" solution, ADIS achieved fast onboarding via a sandbox-to-Pre-Prod approach, enhancing traceability and carbon footprint visibility. This strategic move aligns with industry standards, ensures regulatory compliance, and supports long-term participation in the evolving Catena-X ecosystem—without major in-house development.

Interoperability in manufacturing is often misunderstood. Not because companies doubt its importance, but because it's difficult to visualize what success looks like. This blog uses simple analogies to explain the core challenges: outdated machines that can’t “speak” to modern systems, and people hesitant to share data without context or trust. With solutions like Asset Administration Shells and Data Spaces, manufacturers can unlock hidden value, foster secure collaboration, and take real steps toward digital transformation.

T-Systems and NTT are shaping the future of trusted global data exchange by combining telecom-grade infrastructure with federated identity and dataspace interoperability. Their joint contributions to the IDSA paper and cross-border testbeds between Europe and Japan show how telcos can drive secure, scalable, and regulation-compliant data collaboration across ecosystems. This approach supports real-world use cases like Digital Product Passports, predictive maintenance, and circular economy models—laying the groundwork for a network of sovereign, interoperable digital infrastructures.
