International Data Space Plus - Logistics and Product Lifecycle Management

Description of the work package

Logistics as a central domain of application for the Internet-of-things offers an ideal environment for the connection of physical objects and procedures with artificial intelligence. The logistics product lifecycle management (PLM) describes an approach for integrated management of product data in chains of added value along the entire lifecycle of products. During the product lifecycle of machines and systems enormous amount of data emerges whose integration into networks of added value is extremely relevant. These data are often characterized as sensible and its elicitation, storage and further processing needs safety standards and usage warranties beyond company boundaries. Because the sovereignty of data can’t be ensured in most cases, the use of externally used Collaborative Condition Monitoring (CCM) is currently often prevented.

Solution approach and goals

Within the continuation project IDS Plus work package 15 the IDS reference architecture is applied to the logistics domain as part of an approach for a holistic product lifecycle management for machines and systems to analyze the benefit of a CCM system and to enable a real IDS implementation for sensitive data. The project aims at the development of an IDS-based ecosystem for integrated information processes in logistics and in related production processes.
