Secure exchange and simple linkage of data in business ecosystems.

GUIDELines for data protection in scientific research on aspects of human-technology interaction.

Keeping carbon in the cycle, and thus avoiding plastic waste and emissions: That is the goal of the “Waste4Future” project. Several Fraunhofer institutes and facilities IMWS, IZFP, IWKS, IOSB, FHR, LBF and IVV are pooling their competences to develop an entropy-based assessment model for carbon-containing waste streams and new technologies for sensing, sorting and mechanical and chemical recycling.

The Industrial Security Testing Framework "ISuTest" is a tool for finding weak points in the implementation of automation components. Discovered weak points can be corrected by the manufacturer and thus reduce the component's vulnerability. In the future, robustness against attacks will be a quality criterion with which manufacturers can distinguish themselves from others.

In the lighthouse project Factory-X, an open and collaborative data ecosystem for factory outfitters and operators is being developed on the basis of Catena-X and concepts of the Industry 4.0 platform. Fraunhofer IOSB is involved in or leading a number of use cases.

The Fraunhofer Academy's “Cybersecurity Training Lab” is a collaboration between the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and selected universities of applied sciences. Specialists and managers from industry and public administration receive a compact qualification in high-quality laboratories with up-to-date IT infrastructure.

Catena-X aims to create an open data ecosystem for the automotive industry. The exchange of data helps to optimize the value chain and make it more sustainable and resilient. Fraunhofer IOSB played a key role in shaping the production-related topics in this large collaborative project.

"beAWARE" offers improved decision support for extreme weather and climate events. The project work resulted in an integrated solution for forecasting, early warning, transmission and forwarding of emergency data.

The "WaterFrame®" project forms the basis for the cooperative development of watercourse information systems.

Fraunhofer IOSB is a partner in the SM4RTENANCE project to enable a federated neutral cross-sector data space, resulting in the development of interoperable circular twins and integration between data spaces
