Trustworthy Smart Fabs via Professional Proxies: Scaling Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) through Industrial Data Spaces
A new research paper proposes a framework to help semiconductor manufacturing facilities comply with European Union regulations on safety and sustainability. The proposed system uses 'Professional Proxies,' which are role-based agents operating in secure data spaces, to automate compliance reporting. This approach aims to balance corporate data privacy with the need for multi-stakeholder transparency by enabling factories to export verifiable compliance tokens without revealing proprietary manufacturing details.
