The FX-Solution in detail

  • Standardised provision and transfer of product information throughout the entire life cycle
  • Transparency about the current status of operating equipment thanks to standardised detection
  • Efficient software updates across the variety of equipment installed in the factory

Automated notification of product changes

You receive automated notifications, for example on software updates, across all manufactures. This eliminates the need for manual information transfer and ensures reliable adaptation to new circumstances.

Secure lifecycle management

Software suppliers and users benefit from the standardisation of information procurement through uniform interfaces in the Factory-X data space. The current software status can be explored in a standardised way and displayes across all installed products in the factory. The data of the company’s own inventory remains protected, Factory-X allows complete control over which data is shared with partners.

Faster updates and compliance

Efficient update procedures ensure that your products are always up do date and that you can easily fulfil new regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act.

Increased product availability and longevity

An improved information flow increases the flexibility and resilience of your systems, which contributes to the longevity and continuous availability of your machines and systems.
