Cross-Cluster Project Material-Manufacturing-X

Potential for users and solution providers in the Bavarian SME sector

The cross-cluster project "MMX BAY" supports Bavarian SMEs and technology providers in integrating into the "Industry 4.0 data space", a federated and trust-based data ecosystem as part of the Manufacturing-X initiative. It serves as a catalyst to unlock value creation potential through secure, sovereign data exchange along the entire supply and production chain.

Project duration:

01.01.2025 - 31.12.2025

Background:

Data-based value creation is increasingly becoming a success factor for manufacturing companies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of practicable, secure and sovereign solutions for data exchange, especially in the SME sector. Manufacturing-X uses open standards and federated data spaces to create the basis for making industrial processes more efficient, sustainable and resilient.

Project goals:

1. Bavarian manufacturing SMEs with a focus on fiber composite technology, mechatronics/automation

Raising awareness of the potential of the Industry 4.0 data space
Providing contacts to regional solution providers and research institutions

2. Bavarian solution providers for technologies in the context of Maufacturing-X:

Highlighting market opportunities and fields of application for digital solutions.
Promoting cooperation with potential customers and research partners.

Target groups:

Medium-sized companies from the fields of fiber composite technology and mechatronics/automation and providers of technologies and services for industrial data spaces (companies, universities, research institutes).

Planned measures:

Carrying out needs analyses and information campaigns.
Development of concrete usage scenarios for users and market opportunities for providers.
Events to promote knowledge transfer and networking (e.g. symposium "Smart Production: Next-Gen Innovations in the context of Manufacturing-X")
