Manufacturing as a Service

T-Systems’ Connect & Integrate solution is now officially Catena-X-certified for the Traceability use case under the latest Saturn release. This certification expands T-Systems’ growing portfolio of Catena-X capabilities and reinforces its role in enabling secure, interoperable data exchange across automotive supply chains. By supporting traceability, quality processes, and collaboration through standardized dataspaces, T-Systems helps companies gain transparency across complex value chains, improve compliance, and respond faster to supply chain disruptions while maintaining full data sovereignty within the Catena-X ecosystem.

Companies store enormous amounts of data, yet much of its potential often remains unused. Information is spread across dozens of databases and applications in different formats. Studies by McKinsey and the Microsoft Work Trend Index show that employees spend around a quarter of their working day simply searching for information. T-Systems addresses this data labyrinth: the platform “Talk to your data” searches, links, analyzes, and visualizes data with the help of an AI agent. Corporate knowledge becomes instantly accessible through a simple chat interface. Initial pilot projects already demonstrate significant efficiency gains. The time required for complex analyses has been reduced from six hours to less than 60 minutes.

T‑Systems and German Edge Cloud are joining forces to deliver integrated, ready‑to‑use digital solutions for industrial data ecosystems such as Catena‑X. By combining T‑Systems’ expertise in integration and connectivity with German Edge Cloud’s ONCITE Industrial SaaS solution, the partnership enables scalable applications for traceability and Industrial AI, provided via the Telekom Cloud. This collaboration helps manufacturing companies implement use cases quickly, achieve seamless integrations, and generate measurable value across the entire supply chain. The goal is to build open, interoperable digital ecosystems that accelerate and sustain digital transformation in the manufacturing industry.
