Podcast: Getting ready for battery passports with Siemens, Catena-X, and Path.Era

A groundbreaking step towards global data collaboration: Catena-X Automotive Network e.V. and Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA) have successfully completed a proof of concept (PoC) for interoperability between two independent data spaces.

It’s often pitched as an exciting concept, but decentralised data-exchange is now a reality for companies in the automotive value-chain. In our latest webinar, Cofinity-X invited Ford and Flex to conduct a live demonstration of how the process works for the exchange of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data via Catena-X.

Understanding the key roles in Catena-X and choosing the right one will ensure smooth registration and onboarding for your business.

The implementation of the Catena-X use case in quality management shows how collaboration and data transparency can reduce inefficiencies and create significant cost benefits along the supply chain.

Kinaxis® (TSX:KXS), a global leader in end-to-end supply chain orchestration, today announced that Maestro™, its real-time AI-powered orchestration platform, has achieved Catena-X certification for demand and capacity management. This confirms that Maestro meets the network’s rigorous standards for interoperability, data sovereignty, and security, unlocking trusted collaboration across multi-tier supply chains.

Managing recalls in the automotive industry is often costly and a logistical nightmare. German car manufacturers alone set aside reserves of €1.4 to €1.8 billion per year for such cases. However, thanks to a collaboration between SAP and Catena-X, significant cost savings can be achieved, and the efficiency of recalls can be drastically improved or avoided.

Poorly organized business partner data management will slow your business down. Take control with Cofinity-X and optimize your data today.

The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) has been selected to lead Catena-X efforts in North America, enabling seamless, secure, and standardized data collaboration across the automotive value chain. As a regional hub, AIAG will support OEMs and suppliers of all sizes in adopting Catena-X use cases, from carbon tracking to quality management, while ensuring alignment with local industry needs.
