German Edge Cloud’s ONCITE DPS was the first solution to be certified by Catena-X. The production management system thus gives easy access to the ecosystem for companies in the automotive industry manufacturing environment. This solves current challenges such as faster traceability of parts over the entire life cycle, uncomplicated quality checks, and a more resilient supply chain, based on…

Production runs can be comprehensively planned, evaluated, and optimised when a factory is visualised in 3-D. “Virtual Factory” are the keywords, and a new service of the German Edge Cloud’s ONCITE DPS now makes this possible. This creates an overview and collects and analyses data from production. In this way, optimisation potentials can be uncovered, errors researched and fact-based decisions…

Tracking serial numbers across multiple companies. Recalling defective parts in a targeted manner. Exchanging messages directly between suppliers, manufacturers and recyclers – in near real time and without any long waits or manual processes. ONCITE DPS is one of the first certified applications and makes the exchange of data with the Catena-X network possible. Visitors to Hannover Messe will be…
