The “IT’S DIGITIVE” research project developed the prerequisites for collaborative and platform-supported processing of additive manufacturing-based services and thus important building blocks for an additive manufacturing-based service network. The focus was on intellectual property protection and the development of secure and trustworthy order fulfillment processes. Based on the identified inherent risks and threats in this distributed order processing, appropriate security countermeasures were developed using two use cases as examples and implemented as demonstrators.

The digital transformation, especially the shift of maintenance to smart maintenance, contains a number of challenges. The management of data plays a significant role in this [1]. The use of sensor technology and devices for mobile data acquisition offers a variety of possibilities for quickly capturing large amounts of data, even in real time. In this context, however, there is also a need for tools that enable efficient data exchange and, at the same time, structured storage of large amounts of data. One of these tools is the digital lifecycle record, which has enormous potential for data-driven services thanks to its special features.
