Manufacturers today face a common challenge: fragmented OT and IT systems that trap data in silos, constraining productivity, innovation and visibility across operations. These limitations slow AI adoption, and hinder improvements in efficiency, quality, supply chain resilience and labor productivity initiatives. i3X addresses this by introducing a new architectural model for manufacturing systems – one built on open, interoperable data and application portability.
Developed in collaboration with a growing ecosystem of industry leaders, i3X establishes a common interface for accessing manufacturing data, models and relationships, laying the foundation for scalable digital transformation and AI adoption. By standardizing how applications discover, access, and interact with manufacturing data, i3X enables interoperability by design—allowing applications to operate seamlessly across any compliant system.
