ActiveDB: Master data management and AI training

7 min reading time, updated on 15.04.2025

In the future, companies will only be able to remain competitive if they structure their internal knowledge and the associated data and use it to optimize business processes. With bill-X’s ActiveDB, you can do both: as a central platform for master data management (MDM) and a training basis for company-specific AI solutions, it enables data-driven process optimization, automated analyses and secure integration of external data sources.

After reading the article, you’ll know:

  • How does ActiveDB support both MDM and AI development?
  • What specific use cases does the combination of digital twins and AI enable?
  • How can external data sources be used without incurring security risks?

1.

Master data management with ActiveDB: the basis for AI

ActiveDB maps all company data – from machines to products and processes – as living digital twins. These twins are dynamic, standardized and manufacturer-independent, which makes them the ideal basis for a modern MDM:

Single source of truth:
All data is centrally available, consistent and transparent – from a machine’s sensor values to supply chain information.

Contextualized data:
Digital twins not only record measured values, but also correlations (e.g. how a motor drives a gearbox).

Flexible scalability:
New systems or locations can be easily integrated without risking data silos.

AI training with digital twins: Process optimization made easy

The data stored in ActiveDB forms the perfect training basis for company-specific AI models. These can be:

  1. Automated process optimization

    Take energy consumption, for example:
    An AI analyses real-time data from digital twins of production systems and automatically adjusts machine parameters to minimize energy consumption – without sacrificing productivity.

 

  1. Intelligent evaluations by voice command or prompt Example:

     

    A manager asks via chat prompt: “Show me the inefficiencies in assembly line 3 over the last 30 days.” The AI searches the digital twins, creates an analysis and visualizes it in the dashboard.

 

  1. Intelligent Dynamic Dashboards

    AI-generated dashboards display KPIs in real time, e.g:
  • Machine utilization
  • Predictions on maintenance requirements
  • Energy efficiency per location

3.

Secure integration of external data

Local AI solutions based on ActiveDB can also incorporate external data sources – without exposing sensitive company data:

Examples of external data used:

Current market prices for raw materials
Public statistics (e.g. energy cost trends)
Research data or expert knowledge from specialist publications


This keeps your data secure:

The AI processes external data locally and does not transfer any internal information to the web.
Digital twins always remain under your control – only aggregated or anonymized data is used for external queries.

4.

Practical example: predictive maintenance with AI

An automotive supplier uses ActiveDB to create digital twins of its press machines. The AI analyzes vibration data, temperature curves and maintenance logs from the twins and combines them with public weather data (e.g. humidity, which influences corrosion). The result:

  • The AI predicts breakdowns 7 days in advance with 95% accuracy.
  • Maintenance teams automatically receive prioritized task lists.
  • External weather forecasts are incorporated without machine data leaving the company.

5.

Advantages at a glance

All-in-one solution:
ActiveDB combines MDM, AI training and data analysis in one platform.

Easy to use:
Use natural language or predefined prompts to generate evaluations.

Security first:
Sensitive data remains internal, external sources are integrated risk-free.

Future-proof:
The architecture supports new AI tools or data sources at any time.

6.

Conclusion: From data management to intelligent control

With ActiveDB, you can turn your data into your company’s most valuable asset – whether for consistent MDM, AI-supported decisions or the integration of global data streams. The platform bridges the gap between data storage and intelligent use, allowing you to focus on what’s important: Innovation and growth.
