X-15 is building solutions to unlock the true value of the digital thread. We believe this starts with “closing the loop” between the physical and virtual worlds of a company's products while simultaneously accelerating the speed and reliability of sharing this heterogeneous data. It's our mission to help both product manufacturers and operators drive out near real-time state and status information of their product portfolios within the context of the approved model and reference data. To accomplish this, we are creating Aries – the industry’s first pure-SaaS, real-time "as-a-service" configuration compliance engine delivered entirely through an API. Aries standardizes heterogeneous, disparate expressions of BOMs, maintenance policies, and configuration rules/directives using X-15’s human/machine readable Configuration Specification Language (CSL).
