NorCom has joined the Open Manufacturing Platform (OMP), which is committed to open cloud networking in the manufacturing industry. The initiative launched in 2019 by the BMW Group and Microsoft aims to bring together experts from the entire manufacturing sector and thereby enable faster and more cost-effective IT innovations in this industry.

The OMP community supports large manufacturing companies in implementing technical solutions for important core topics such as IoT connectivity, semantic data models and central services for ATS (Autonomous Transport Systems). Among other things, this supports the endeavors of the industry to connect IoT devices and systems to the cloud. In the field of semantic data models, the group is working on solutions for managing data in a uniform format and across multiple sources with constantly evolving semantics.

NorCom brings its experience and technological expertise in the areas of AI / Big Data and sensor data analysis to the community. With DaSense, NorCom offers a comprehensive, cloud-native platform solution for the Industrial IoT. DaSense includes a development environment for AI / Big Data analyzes, a development kit for the creation of industry solutions as apps and the production of the apps in the hybrid cloud. The open architecture enables maximum flexibility and customization.

“By joining the OMP, NorCom is networking with major companies in the manufacturing sector. We get access to relevant industry and process know-how that can flow into the further development of our IIoT solution based on DaSense - and can in turn contribute to this with our technology. Advancing IIoT in the manufacturing industry, ”commented Dr. Tobias Abthoff, Managing Director at NorCom.

Other members of the initiative are currently among others Anheuser-Busch InBev, Bosch, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Capgemini and Siemens. Further information: https://open-manufacturing.org/
