Quantity
Glossary Page
Quantities in computing refer to small or large numbers that are represented using a concise, whole-number notation with SI suffixes. This notation allows for easy representation of fractional numbers using milli units, while larger numbers can be represented using kilo, mega, or giga units. For example, 1.5 can be represented as 1500m, 1000 as 1k, and 1000000 as 1M. In addition, binary-notation suffixes can be used, such as 2Ki to represent 2048. The accepted decimal (power-of-10) units are m (milli), k (kilo, intentionally lowercase), M (mega), G (giga), T (tera), P (peta), and E (exa). The accepted binary (power-of-2) units are Ki (kibi), Mi (mebi), Gi (gibi), Ti (tebi), Pi (pebi), and Ei (exbi).

Making manufacturing systems talk to each other
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 This blog uses simple analogies to explain the core challenges: outdated machines that can’t “speak” to modern systems, and people hesitant to share data without context or trust.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.
