GPDIS Workshop 2026

GPDIS Workshop 2026

The Global Product Data Interoperability Summit (GPDIS) is an industry-focused event centered on sharing, managing, and exchanging digital data across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chains. It serves as a hub for the aerospace, defense, and automotive sectors to solve data-sharing challenges

2:40–3:10 PM | Workshop Keynote
Join John Dyck for a keynote presentation on CESMII’s Industrial Information Interoperability eXchange (i3X).

GPDIS Workshop Theme: Grounding the Intelligence
AI and Standards Interoperability Flagship Workshop

This is a highly interactive, full‑day workshop where cross‑functional teams work through four structured work packages:

  1. Trusted Collaboration – Securing the digital thread with zero‑trust principles and object‑level data sovereignty.
  2. Digital Product Exchange – Using proven syntactic standards (STEP/AP242, SSP, DDP, etc.) as AI guardrails.
  3. Meaning Exchange – Establishing a semantic thread and shared ontologies so AI can understand engineering context.
  4. Agentic Collaboration – Exploring agentic architectures, MCP, and defining the red line between AI autonomy and human authority.

Across these work packages, participants will see how industry‑proven data and semantic standards become the foundation and guardrails for AI, turning it from a black‑box risk into a trustworthy, engineering‑grade capability for product development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management.

The workshop is designed for both technical and non‑technical leaders, and focuses on ensuring AI initiatives are innovative, interoperable, and grounded in engineering truth and operational excellence.
