MUNICH, BAVARIA, GERMANY (May 27, 2026): DXC Technology and context/fab today announced a strategic partnership and a new joint product offering, deploying context/fab's industrial intelligence platform, backed by DXC's global manufacturing consulting practice.
"DXC Advisory X | Factory Fast Track" transforms fragmented shop floor and IT data into a clear, usable system in weeks. DXC experts deliver fast, measurable value through optimization, unlocking the full potential of context/fab's intelligence layer for manufacturers.
For years, manufacturing has been in a waiting game: multi-year projects were needed to unlock advanced analytics or AI. context/fab offers a dramatically faster alternative. The platform reads existing documents and live machine signals. Its AI automatically learns how complex factories operate, combining data from all machines and systems without disrupting operations or forcing manufacturers to rip out older equipment.
Uniting Startup Innovation with Global Delivery
Factory Fast Track delivers ROI in less than one year, compared to three to five years often required by conventional methods. Geared for enterprise scale, the partnership targets global multi-plant deployments. Based on continuous operational improvements, manufacturers can achieve greater than 15x ROI, delivering positive cash flow and bottom-line impact from day one. Customers achieve startup speed with system integrator reliability.
context/fab provides a novel industrial intelligence layer that sits directly on top of existing factory systems, helping customers optimize their operations. The platform performs rapid, low-disruption data fusion across heterogeneous plants, mapping assets, processes, and material flows without forcing a rigid, top-down data model. It transforms this mapped reality into ready-to-use data products for automations, AI, and autonomous agents. It is the first solution in manufacturing delivering the governance, guardrails, and context required to deploy autonomous agents safely and reliably.
DXC builds on the rapid insights of context/fab and turns them into an execution-ready blueprint, driving business-process standardization and improvement. Combined with DXC’s deep manufacturing consulting experience, IT and OT delivery, and security services, this yields fast, focused, and results-driven projects. Manufacturers receive rapid value right from the start.
Accelerated Value for Operations and IT
The joint offering delivers targeted immediate benefits to both the production and IT sides of the manufacturing business:
- For the Chief Operating Officer (COO): A single unified view of global operations to drive network-wide performance, lower cost, and deliver fast, measurable ROI. Identify and replicate the "Golden Batch", the optimal production run, across all plants.
- For Plant Operations Teams: Clear, real-time performance insight to run better every day and scale proven improvements quickly across lines and plants.
- For the Chief Information Officer (CIO): Operational value today and a secure, governed foundation for deploying AI and advanced analytics. It simultaneously unlocks the data and business insights that accelerate enterprise system modernization.
"To truly transform global manufacturing, you need both cutting-edge innovation and the operational muscle to deploy it securely at scale," said Jürgen Friedrichs, Managing Partner & Head of Manufacturing & Automotive Consulting Europe at DXC. "context/fab has built an exceptional technology for unlocking brownfield data, legacy factory data locked in older systems. By integrating their platform with our delivery infrastructure and manufacturing consulting expertise, we are offering our clients a completely new, accelerated path to operational excellence."
"We built context/fab because we saw firsthand how the complexity of older factory ecosystems was holding back the impact of automation, AI and agents in manufacturing," said Marc Krüger-Sprengel, Co-Founder & CEO of context/fab. "DXC is the perfect partner to bring this vision to more enterprise customers. Their deep understanding of shop floor realities and commitment to reliable delivery ensure that our joint customers get rapid insights backed by world-class implementation."
Meet the Experts in Stuttgart
Manufacturing leaders can experience this accelerated transformation approach firsthand. DXC and context/fab will showcase their joint offering, including live hardware and real-time data flow demonstrations, at the upcoming STARTUP AUTOBAHN Expo 2026 in Stuttgart on July 2nd.
