This chapter presents the advanced manufacturing processes and big data-driven algorithms and platforms leveraged by the Boost 4.0 big data lighthouse project that allows improved digital operations within increasingly automated and intelligent shopfloors. The chapter illustrates how three different companies have been able to implement three distinct, open, yet sovereign cross-factory data spaces under a unified framework: the Boost 4.0 big data reference architecture and Digital Factory Alliance (DFA) service development framework.
