Connect data
How can information from different systems and organisations be connected in a useful way?
Research & Innovation
Research that lives
on in the product.
For years, we have been developing technologies for connected data, digital assets and sovereign processes together with science and industry. The insights continuously inform our platform and product development.
Data Assets Sovereignty Processes
Transfer point ADAM
Since 2017 Researching digital platforms
Joint projects with science and industry
Research to Reality Insights become technologies and standards
Research with practical relevance
The important questions do not come from the feature backlog.
We research where systems, organisations and real industrial challenges meet.
Understand assets
How do documents, events and data become lasting, usable digital context?
Collaborate sovereignly
How can companies share data without giving up control over it?
Transfer research
How do insights become technologies, standards and productive applications?
Research to Reality
A development line spanning almost a decade.
Our research follows one connected technological question: data platforms, digital assets, data sovereignty and decentralised data spaces.
Platforms, data flows & digital assets
SMiLE
A big-data cloud platform for Mobility 4.0: open services, different data sources and digital assets. Concepts such as Flow Studio, Asset Manager and Time Series Manager form an early foundation for our platform work.
BMV / mFUND Funding reference: 19F1016A
Digital lifecycle records & data sovereignty
Sealed Services
The project explores sovereign data exchange, digital lifecycle records and collaboration across company boundaries, with a focus on trusted and secure industrial services.
BMBF Funding reference: 02K18D130
Sovereign data spaces & standards
GRIPSS-X
Research into cross-company data exchange, data spaces, interoperability and industrial services. The work is situated in the context of GAIA-X and the standardisation of digital value networks.
BMBF Funding reference: 02J21D102
Edge cloud & sovereign data space for wind energy
Wind-X
An ongoing joint project for federated data spaces, decentralised infrastructure, digital twins and a sovereign data ecosystem across the entire lifecycle of wind turbines.
BMWK / NextGenerationEU Funding reference: 13IPC037C
Research becomes productive application
Hahn PRO ADAM
Research is not a discipline alongside product development for us. Concepts from platform architecture, digital assets, data spaces and data sovereignty continuously inform the evolution of ADAM.

Current research
Wind-X: The data space for the wind industry.
Wind-X connects edge and cloud architectures with a federated data space. This creates an industrial ecosystem where data becomes useful while its sovereignty is preserved.
Edge & cloud
Decentralised technical infrastructure
Sovereign data exchange
Make data useful while preserving control
Industrial ecosystem
Connect manufacturers, operators, suppliers and research
Edge Cloud Data space Assets
Wind-X
Transfer & standardisation
Research does not end when a project does.
Insights become useful beyond a single project when they continue as standards, architectural principles or productive applications.

Research transfer
From research question to platform capability.
This is not a linear project claim. It describes themes that evolve across several research initiatives and reappear in ADAM.
Asset Manager
Digital assets and object-centred context.
Research connection SMiLE + Sealed ServicesFlow Studio
Model data flows and processes.
Research connection SMiLEData sovereignty
Control over data and architectures.
Research connection Sealed Services + GRIPSS-X + Wind-XInteroperability
Connect existing systems instead of building another isolated silo.
Research connection Cross-project developmentResearch together
Innovation happens in a network.
Research is strongest when different perspectives meet: scientific methods, industrial practice and shared standards.
Science
Research institutes and universities contribute methods, models and new perspectives.
Industry
Companies and users turn research questions into real requirements.
Standards
Shared rules make insights useful beyond individual projects.
