Secure Data Exchange

Safe and Automatable according to IDS standard

The ADVANEO Connector is a software application that can be connected to a wide range of different data sources. (FOR EXAMPLE: file systems, database systems, sensor data streams, etc. The list is constantly being expanded)At the same time, connectors can communicate with each other and send and receive data to and from each other.The implemented authentication of the connectors creates a basis for a secure and automatable data exchange between two parties.
Each user* has access to a personal connector, which he can manage via a dashboard.


*Details depend on your membership. See the functionalities in the price overview.


There you can manage your own data sources, as well as access data requests and received data transmissions.

Data security “Best Practice”: Exchange of sensitive Raw Data

The data marketplace itself never comes into contact with the raw data of the providers. This is because it is one of the first portals worldwide to implement the certified IDSA standard for industrial data exchange. The exchange of raw data is always peer-to-peer directly from the data source of the provider to the data user. This can essentially take place in two different ways: The data provider can provide direct access to its raw data (e.g. via direct download link or an API) or enter its data source in its ADVANEO Connector, which in turn communicates with the data user’s connector and transfers the raw data within the scope of the accepted licence.


Extensive protection for commercial datasets

In general, the rule of thumb for this distinction is: open data should be offered directly, while commercial offers should be implemented with the connector.


In general, it should be mentioned again: Access to raw data is only granted by the marketplace if the data user accepts the linked license to the data set and, in case of a commercial offer, the data provider has accepted the purchase request and the payment has been confirmed by the system.
