Decentralized, autonomous setup and access to data of independent partners in a hyper connected ecosystem

The paper express results about a project on hyper-connected ecosystem of industrial networks and especially the services infrastructure developed during the project. A specific aspect is the concept and related feasibility study to establish an autonomous and distributed data management using the web presents of potential network partners. The question of the approach was “How to allow the accessibility of required information on demand everywhere and independent from a specific platform or cloud infrastructure for every partner or company within a business network”. It starts with the accessibility of information as a major asset for decision making. During the project, industry partners insist on reducing the preparation effort for participation in the partnership and therefore data provision had to be supported with services. The paper provides insides of the work done, the findings and results. The briefly described demonstrator illustrates the usage of the service prototypes and early application cases.
