Examples and use case studies from Gaia-X projects and data space across domains and industries underline the advantages of the unified digital service ecosystem.
LeOniDaS is a research project dedicated to easing the onboarding process into industrial data and service ecosystems led by Institut für Produktionsmanagement, Technologie und Werkzeugmaschinen - PTW
and deltaDAO
. Its mission is to develop an interactive regional learning environment and a web-based platform that support knowledge transfer and skill development in the use of digital data spaces.The project builds on the foundation of a strong ecosystem of previous initiatives – including EuProGigant
, DIONE-X
, ESCOM
, AMIDS
, and Flex4Res
– ensuring that proven insights and practical approaches are carried forward and applied effectively. LeOniDaS continues this collaborative effort to strengthen data sovereignty and digital competence in industrial settings.

Gaia-X lighthouse project EuProGigant
, together with CliCE-DiPP
and ESCOM
successfully demonstrate the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation to an Asset Administration Shell (AAS) Submodel utilizing Compute-to-Data for IP-Protection.
The allocation of CO2-emissions from power consumption is based on the machine state semantics of the OPC Foundation according to OPC 40502 UA for CNC Systems
.
Through the use of the Submodel Template IDTA 02023-0-9 Carbon Footprint
the calculated PCF can easily be passed along the value chain.
COOPERANTS
, a Gaia-X lighthouse project led by DLR, demonstrates Pontus-X 's readiness to operate in high-security aerospace environments.
Pontus-X is revolutionising aerospace systems integration by enabling data exchange with Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC)
for supplier interface data, enabling collaborative refinement and drastically reducing time, cost and errors in complex multi-supplier projects.
Publish data for download
from any source (Cloud, On-Premises, REST API...
) with fine-grained permissions such as allowlisting specific supplier wallets, defining licence terms and pricing conditions.
Gaia-X lighthouse project EuProGigant
, as part of the Validation Platform
, gathers data from the numerical controlled milling machine of type HELLER CNC-ProfiTrainer PT16-4
and the machine integrated OPC UA server while a workpiece is manufactured. The semantic is similar to the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl NC variable and interface signals.
Data contains OPC UA variables, processed via Compute-to-Data to protect sensitive information of the production process while Tool Condition and Carbon Footprint are calculated by software developed by Craftworks
.
This use case
has been created as part of the collaboration of Peregrine
and deltaDAO
as part of the Gaia-X 4 Future Mobility moveID
Project with the City of Hamburg
.
This use case leverages the Pontus-X framework
and Base-X framework
for semantic interoperability.
The implementation enables scalable collaboration models for private and public institutions to improve smart mobiliy services and infrastructures. As a result Digital Twins of mobility infrastructure can be created and maintaned and advanced mobility services are supported. Funded by BMWK and European Union.
The DIONE-X
project aims at open and secure data exchange along the entire process chain of the machining industry.
Gühring
, a global leader in precision tools for metal machining, leverages Pontus-X to offer their expert Tool Recommendation Service as Software-as-a-Service.
Pontus-X empowers businesses to seamlessly monetize their own cloud services in Pontus-X providing decentralized contracting, native access control, and full service ownership
while unlocking new revenue streams across verticals.
Images from video surveillance of one of the pens in the Centre of Swine Studies of Catalonia
(CEP), an experimental pig farm managed by a consortium made up of the Diputació de Lleida, the Regional Council of La Noguera, the Torrelameu Town Hall and the Universitat de Lleida, are being analyized using Compute-to-Data, guaranteeing technical data sovereignty.
The results can be used to optimize precision feeding, environmental conditions for lifestock, and overall process and quality improvements for farmers and customers. Also Data &AI models are improved for the agricultural domain.
The Future Mobility Data Marketplace
matches supply and demand of any kind of data and algorithms that can be relevant for mobility. Scientists, data consumers and providers, like cities, mobility service providers, and automotive companies can share, collaborate, and commercialize data services to improve road safety, support smart mobility services, and reduce traffic jams.
Use case has been built for Rijkswaterstaat
(part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) to facilitate the discussion and support awareness building about how different types of data, can be leveraged for solving societal challenges.
To enable on-premise scientific text analysis of licensed digital texts Compute-to-Data is applied by the State Library of Berlin . This case aims to test and scale the Compute-to-Data capabilities of the Pontus-X Digital Service Ecosystem, powered by Gaia-X, and the Gaia-X principles of data sovereignty when opening license-protected materials for AI/ML applications. In this case the Cross Asia project texts are being used for processing and analysis. CrossAsia offers access to specialised information from the entire spectrum of humanities and social sciences from and about Asia.
