Connected Worker on a sovereign production platform

Digital assistance with European data sovereignty

Engineer in hard hat, safety glasses controls industrial production process.

Support your production staff with digital assistance systems on STACKIT—as connected workers on a sovereign production platform with secure, EU-compliant data processing.

Challenge: Manual assembly in complex environments

Manufacturers are under increasing pressure: growing product variety, a shortage of skilled workers, and higher quality requirements are compounded by complex assembly processes. In operational implementation, this results in concrete challenges along the value chain:

High variety of variants in assembly

Frequent product changes and customer-specific variations increase the risk of errors.

Skilled labor shortage and employee turnover

New employees must be trained quickly without compromising quality.

Manual parameter selection on tools

Incorrect settings lead to quality issues and rework.

Limited real-time transparency

Deviations are detected too late because relevant data is not consistently available.

Lack of end-to-end traceability

Incomplete digital documentation makes audits and complaint analyses more difficult.

Complex IT integration

New solutions can only be integrated into existing manufacturing environments with significant effort.

Measurable added value: Ensure quality, empower employees

With Connected Worker on a sovereign production platform, you shift your quality assurance directly into the ongoing process. Benefit from real added value through digital assistance, automatic parameterization, and complete data capture.

Less scrap and rework: In-process checks and guided workflows significantly reduce assembly-related errors.
30 to 50% faster onboarding: AR-supported or mobile step-by-step instructions noticeably shorten training times.
Minimized parameterization errors: Automatic job and parameter distribution prevents manual misconfigurations.
100% digital traceability: Relevant process data and actions are fully documented—audit-ready and compliant with customer and regulatory requirements.
Scalable blueprint: A proven setup can be efficiently transferred to additional production lines and plants.

Solution: Connected Worker with Cybus and STACKIT

Cybus and STACKIT connect machines, tools, workflows, and digital assistance into a seamless execution control system. This allows you to secure and simplify your assembly processes in real time. MES, smart tools, and connected worker platforms are bundled via an industrial orchestration layer. Your employees receive guided workflows. Parameterization errors are largely avoided. The production system captures process data in real time and compares it against quality rules.

This reduces scrap, rework, and audit risks. A consistently structured unified namespace ensures that all stakeholders work with the same data foundation. Thanks to offline-capable edge execution and the robust STACKIT edge and cloud architecture, your lines remain stable and can be easily rolled out to additional plants.

Competitive Advantage: Robust, Resilient, and Multi-Site Capable

Connected Worker on STACKIT enhances product quality and protects industrial IP. At the same time, you lay the foundation for compliance and cross-site scalability. An overview of the resulting benefits:

Data sovereignty in accordance with EU standards

The infrastructure is subject to European data sovereignty—without extraterritorial access rights.

High availability in manufacturing

Networked production processes run stably even under demanding production conditions.

Compliance-enabled governance

Auditable storage and governance mechanisms ensure security for audits and regulatory compliance.

Scalable multi-plant architecture

A standardized approach is efficiently rolled out across multiple plants—rather than connecting each production site individually.

Foundation: Enablers and Technology for Connected Workers

Cybus as an industrial orchestration solution and STACKIT as a sovereign cloud infrastructure form the technological foundation for your connected worker use case. Together, they create the conditions for a scalable, standardized implementation—supported by the following building blocks:

Cybus Industrial Orchestration & Process Intelligence

MES, smart tools and connected worker solutions are integrated, orders and parameters are distributed automatically and data is structured in a unified namespace.

STACKIT Compute & Edge Resources

Secure edge and cloud resources provide the execution logic, monitoring, and analytics for the assembly.
