Anyone who operates industrial plants wants to avoid downtime. Accordingly, maintenance intervals should be adapted to the actual need to check the plant. For this purpose, data must be exchanged between the plant operator and the plant manufacturer. This process is only one example of many of the necessity of inter-company data exchange. The Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST has developed an IoT architecture that integrates the data of such a company process into a "Shared Digital Twin". This data can be shared with other companies on the basis of connectors, whereby the company providing the data always retains control over the use of the data.
