UdZ 1-2021 / 86 EDI-Multiply: Connect Thousands of Business Partners Across Disparate B2B Platforms 'EDI-Multiply' is a joint project between FIR at RWTH Aachen University and the Center Integrated Business Applications i n the Smart Logistics Cluster , located on RWTH Aachen Campus . It contributes to the EU’s 'MARKET4.0' project, which is based on the open source SCSN communication standard. The aim of this sub-project is to achieve a multiplier effect in terms of potential business connections. Instead of connecting individual companies directly to the MARKET4.0 platform, this approach addresses the integration of entire platforms and ERP systems. By connecting the consortium partner myOpenFactory Software GmbH alone, for example, more than 1,300 companies in the manufacturing industry will be able to exchange data electronically with a large number of potential business partners. MARKET4.0 provides an e-commerce platform for the sale and provision of complex industrial plants and equipment. >
