How i3X Looks to Address Industry’s Interoperability Issues
The non-profit institute CESMII has launched i3X, an open API initiative to address the industry's interoperability challenge in manufacturing. i3X aims to standardize the programmer's interface for accessing organized data, enabling scalable value creation across different vendor systems.
CESMII has introduced i3X, an open API initiative to tackle interoperability issues in manufacturing. Without a common platform API, developers must rebuild applications for each vendor's system. i3X binds to the information platform layer, where raw OT data is already organized and contextualized. A free i3X Explorer tool is available, and vendors have responded positively, signaling growing adoption of the open API standard. i3X coexists with existing standards like OPC UA and MQTT, aiming to make it easier to create information value across various platforms. By standardizing the programmer's interface, i3X enables scalable value creation and rapid app development in the industrial space.
