It launched a proof-of-concept of Catena-X in mid-2022 with ten specific use cases. This has achieved important milestones such as technical requirements, standardisation and certification.
The development consortium worked for one and a half years on the specific project implementation, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and based on the Gaia-X European cloud. The association is the guardian of the vision. The idea is that this should accelerate processes for all participants, secure competitiveness and promote sustainability.Ĭatena-X is based on three pillars: the Catena-X Automotive Network association is the central institution. Individual data pools are linked and standardised on this impartial, open and secure platform. Catena-X is intended to standardise the data flow and make information accessible to all. Everyone uses their own formats and systems that are not compatible with each other. Up to now, data has usually only been exchanged bilaterally between individual partners. The German automotive industry’s success is based on an extensive network of suppliers. And X represents the participating stakeholders: the more, the better. Catena is Latin for chain, the individual links of which must interlock and hold firmly together. We are stronger together – Catena-X lives by this philosophy. Because fewer recalls also mean fewer resources and lower costs. Above all, however, Catena-X is intended to improve the quality of the vehicles. The platform aims to leverage its transparent and cooperative thinking as a basis to address future challenges such as CO 2 reduction, supply chain security and the circular economy.
Bmw stands for meme drivers#
The BMW Group wants to join forces as one of the main drivers with other companies such as Mercedes Benz AG, Deutsche Telekom AG, SAP SE, Siemens AG and ZF Friedrichshafen AG to form a uniform and integrated network that brings together all manufacturers and suppliers.įaster, stronger, more sustainable: Catena-X will form the digital foundation.įrom large corporations to small and medium-sized enterprises, this data ecosystem is open to all players in the automotive industry. This answer has a name too: Catena-X, an extensive data ecosystem that is now going online. The company’s answer to the global shortage of materials is: more together, less in opposition. Since then, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine have made shortages the norm – including for the BMW Group and its roughly 12,000 suppliers. A single ship showed the world how fragile supply chains are today. This meant goods became scarce in Europe faster than some would have guessed.Īlthough the canal was only blocked for six days, it brought the entire world trade system grinding to a halt. Because hundreds of ships with tens of thousands of containers and goods worth several billion US dollars were stuck in a traffic jam behind the “Ever Given”. People on social media were making fun of a tiny excavator trying to dig the huge 400-metre barge out. When the “Ever Given” container ship got stuck in the Suez Canal in spring 2021, it was at first nothing more than a meme.
Catena-X data ecosystem was created with other companies and networks the entire automotive value chain – achieving even more sustainability.
