Pontus-X Case Studies

Examples and use case studies from Gaia-X projects and data space across domains and industries underline the advantages of the unified digital service ecosystem.

Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculation to AAS submodel

Gaia-X lighthouse project EuProGigant, together with CliCE-DiPP and ESCOM successfully demonstrate the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation to an Asset Administration Shell (AAS) Submodel utilizing Compute-to-Data for IP-Protection.
The allocation of CO2-emissions from power consumption is based on the machine state semantics of the OPC Foundation according to OPC 40502 UA for CNC Systems.
Through the use of the Submodel Template IDTA 02023-0-9 Carbon Footprint the calculated PCF can easily be passed along the value chain.

Prime Supplier Collaboration with Attribute-Based Access Controls

COOPERANTS, a Gaia-X lighthouse project led by DLR, demonstrates Pontus-X's readiness to operate in high-security aerospace environments.
Pontus-X is revolutionising aerospace systems integration by enabling data exchange with Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) for supplier interface data, enabling collaborative refinement and drastically reducing time, cost and errors in complex multi-supplier projects.
Publish data for download from any source (Cloud, On-Premises, REST API...) with fine-grained permissions such as allowlisting specific supplier wallets, defining licence terms and pricing conditions.

Validation Platform and CO2-Footprint

Gaia-X lighthouse project EuProGigant, as part of the Validation Platform, gathers data from the numerical controlled milling machine of type HELLER CNC-ProfiTrainer PT16-4 and the machine integrated OPC UA server while a workpiece is manufactured. The semantic is similar to the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl NC variable and interface signals.
Data contains OPC UA variables, processed via Compute-to-Data to protect sensitive information of the production process while Tool Condition and Carbon Footprint are calculated by software developed by Craftworks.

Digital Road Condition Monitoring

This use case has been created as part of the collaboration of Peregrine and deltaDAO as part of the Gaia-X 4 Future Mobility moveID Project with the City of Hamburg.
This use case leverages the Pontus-X framework and Base-X framework for semantic interoperability.
The implementation enables scalable collaboration models for private and public institutions to improve smart mobiliy services and infrastructures. As a result Digital Twins of mobility infrastructure can be created and maintaned and advanced mobility services are supported. Funded by BMWK and European Union.

SaaS - Gühring's Tool Recommendation Service

The DIONE-X project aims at open and secure data exchange along the entire process chain of the machining industry.
Gühring, a global leader in precision tools for metal machining, leverages Pontus-X to offer their expert Tool Recommendation Service as Software-as-a-Service.

Pontus-X empowers businesses to seamlessly monetize their own cloud services in Pontus-X providing decentralized contracting, native access control, and full service ownership while unlocking new revenue streams across verticals.

Animal Well-Being Monitoring

Images from video surveillance of one of the pens in the Centre of Swine Studies of Catalonia (CEP), an experimental pig farm managed by a consortium made up of the Diputació de Lleida, the Regional Council of La Noguera, the Torrelameu Town Hall and the Universitat de Lleida, are being analyized using Compute-to-Data, guaranteeing technical data sovereignty.
The results can be used to optimize precision feeding, environmental conditions for lifestock, and overall process and quality improvements for farmers and customers. Also Data & AI models are improved for the agricultural domain.

Traffic Object Annotation & Analysis

The Future Mobility Data Marketplace matches supply and demand of any kind of data and algorithms that can be relevant for mobility. Scientists, data consumers and providers, like cities, mobility service providers, and automotive companies can share, collaborate, and commercialize data services to improve road safety, support smart mobility services, and reduce traffic jams.

Use case has been built for Rijkswaterstaat (part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) to facilitate the discussion and support awareness building about how different types of data, can be leveraged for solving societal challenges.

Analysis of Licensed Digital Texts

To enable on-premise scientific text analysis of licensed digital texts Compute-to-Data is applied by the State Library of Berlin. This case aims to test and scale the Compute-to-Data capabilities of the Pontus-X Digital Service Ecosystem, powered by Gaia-X, and the Gaia-X principles of data sovereignty when opening license-protected materials for AI/ML applications. In this case the Cross Asia project texts are being used for processing and analysis. CrossAsia offers access to specialised information from the entire spectrum of humanities and social sciences from and about Asia.
