Data Space & Enterprise Integration

Data Room Integration meansconnecting ERP, PLM, and MES systems to industrial data rooms such as Catena-X or Manufacturing-X. Digital product passports, traceability, and product carbon footprints are becoming a reality, but the system landscape is often not yet prepared for them.

As a data room integrator, doubleSlash supports suppliers, manufacturers, and corporate divisions—regardless of the manufacturer—by providing consulting and implementation services all under one roof.

The setup and operation of a data room infrastructure are not included in the offering. Your systems will be made compatible with the platform and its use cases; if necessary, this can be achieved through a custom connection for system environments that lack a suitable standard connector.

When partners request data rooms, DPP, or AAS

Compliance requirements and pressure from partners are colliding with legacy system landscapes. The effort required for integration is increasing, and there is no robust roadmap. Suppliers, manufacturers, and corporate divisions are familiar with this situation:

• OEMs or key accounts include Catena-X participation or comparable data space requirements in supplier contracts.

• The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is becoming mandatory for certain product categories under the ESPR Regulation. The LkSG and CSRD require structured product data that is not yet technically integrated.

• ERP, PLM, and MES systems do not exchange data with partners in a standardized way, so every request must be handled manually.

• It is unclear which data space is the right one, which use case takes priority, and which business case is sustainable in the long term.

• Asset Administration Shell, DPP, and the Eclipse Dataspace Connector (EDC) are required but are virtually impossible to implement internally.

• Root cause analyses and recall scenarios take weeks because data is scattered and not linked.

• Risk of vendor lock-in and misinvestment in the wrong platform strategy.

• No standard SAP integration: a custom connection is lacking.

Data Space Integration with Your Systems, Rules, and Use Cases

With Dataspace & Enterprise Integration, you can connect your existing systems to industrial data rooms in a compliant manner. At its core, this involves standardized, secure data exchange across organizational boundaries, including the Asset Administration Shell and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), with a focus on product data.

We provide consulting and implementation services for connecting to existing data rooms. Depending on your system landscape, we use appropriate standard connectors or custom integrations. Qualifications and references are listed below.

• Partner and Compliance Capabilities:
  Technical preparation for the Digital Product Passport, traceability, product carbon footprint, and supply chain transparency before deadlines and customer requirements become critical.
• Predictable Onboarding:
  Catena-X onboarding or integration with the target data room, featuring an initial use case, clear deliverables, and knowledge transfer—rather than a time-consuming in-house solution without a reliable roadmap.
• Data Sovereignty:
  Control over access permissions and usage rules through policy enforcement. Your data remains under your control.

• Technology-neutral selection:
  Selection and implementation of suitable connector and cloud stacks without being tied to a specific product portfolio.
• Measurable Use Case Launch:
  A prioritized use case delivers value before you standardize across the board.
• Transition to Self-Sufficiency:
  From assessment, architecture, and integration to a solution you can operate yourself.

Typical Use Cases

Regardless of industry or use case, your data resides in ERP, PLM, and MES systems. These systems are connected to the data repository via interfaces, and the existing data structures are mapped to the data repository’s standards. This prevents the creation of a second data repository that you would have to maintain in parallel.
