Data sovereignty

Data sovereignty for industrial data and AI architectures

If production data, integration logic and AI functions are to remain under our own control in the long term, we need open technology, controllable operating models and clear interfaces instead of lock-ins.

To the IIoT platform

Open, operable, expandable

Data sovereignty as an architectural principle

Data sovereignty is not created by a single product feature, but by the interplay of an open platform core, controlled operation and clearly defined expansion points.

Building blocks of a sovereign architecture

These properties help to reduce dependencies and keep industrial data platforms manageable in the long term.

01

Open source basis

With Apache StreamPipes, we rely on an open platform core that Bytefabrik initiated and continues to develop significantly to this day. Data flows, extension points and the operating model remain transparent as a result.

02

On-premise or private cloud

The platform, storage and integration logic can be operated in your own data center or in controlled cloud environments.

03

Open interfaces and SDKs

Custom adapters, data models, pipelines and front ends can be extended in a controlled manner via APIs, client libraries and SDKs.

04

Governance and traceability

Roles, authorizations and documented data flows help to implement compliance, audits and internal guidelines in a technically clean way.

Open source for industrial data streams

Apache StreamPipes as a foundation

Bytefabrik initiated Apache StreamPipes, continues to develop the open core to this day and supplements it for productive industrial environments. As a result, data models, integration logic and extensions remain transparent and under your own control.

Foundation

The open platform core

Apache StreamPipes provides connectors, pipelines and analysis modules for industrial data teams. Because the platform is open and actively co-developed by Bytefabrik, architecture decisions, data flows and extension points remain traceable.

  • Open APIs, data models and integration paths
  • Expandability via own adapters and processors
  • Traceable operation without a proprietary black box core

Deployment

Operation under your control

The platform can be operated on-premise or in controlled cloud environments and connected to existing security, network and governance requirements. This means that responsibilities, data storage and system boundaries can be controlled internally.

  • On-premise or private cloud operation
  • Integration into identity, OT and IT systems
  • Further development via SDKs and open interfaces

Models generate logic, not raw data copies

AI functions without direct data outflow

For many companies, data sovereignty is crucial when it comes to the use of AI. That's why our AI modules are designed in such a way that language models do not work directly with real data, but primarily support the generation of executable logic.

Sovereign AI building blocks

The execution of data access and processing remains in your platform. Models mainly help to generate code or configurations for open interfaces and client libraries.

01

AI Notebooks

Language models do not generate direct access to production data for us. They support the creation of analysis code, which is then executed in your environment via open interfaces and client libraries.

02

AI Pipelines

Even productively operated AI modules do not access real data via the language model. Data processing runs in your platform, while models primarily support the generation and maintenance of execution logic.

03

IoT Data Hub + AI

The AI functions are built on the same open data and integration basis. This means that governance, access rights and operating limits can also be kept consistent for AI-supported applications.

Technical control instead of platform dependency

What companies gain

Open source and on-premise operation help to keep integration logic, data models and analysis functions traceable in the long term. This makes audits easier, reduces dependencies on individual providers and simplifies the gradual expansion of the platform.

This is particularly relevant in production environments with sensitive process, quality or product data: Data access, execution paths and AI support can be bundled in an architecture that fits the company's security and governance requirements.
