Administration shell infrastructure for training and demonstrations

Administration shells enable a variety of use cases:

Digital control stations create transparency and optimize your production:

With a digital image of your production, you have everything in view at all times. Your data belongs to you! Combine data from different systems and devices to create an integrated digital image and identify optimization potential that will make your production more efficient and future-proof.

Digital product passports:

Digital product passports, CO2 footprints and quality data transmitted along the supply chain enable a seamless exchange of information. This is no problem with digital twins - thanks to standardization through ISO/IEC 63278, all systems speak the same language.

AI integration:

Talk to your production system! Let an AI evaluate the collected data and process it for you. Digital twins provide reliable information that serves as the basis for intelligent decisions by AI systems. 

Transfer of quality data:

Selected and relevant quality data can be passed on to your customers during production so that they can optimally integrate their workpieces into the production process.

Evaluation of capacities and automated price negotiations:

Use the digital twins and the models they contain to evaluate the production capacities of your factory. Automatically answer questions such as “Is the factory able to produce the new order? Even in the specified time?” Leave automated negotiations to the digital twins to absorb peak loads and still ensure on-time delivery.

For these use cases, you need a strong and standards-based infrastructure. With Eclipse BaSyx, we offer a cost-effective and scalable open source solution based on open standards that optimally provides your administration shell infrastructure. Our domain-independent open source platform is the ideal basis for the digitalization of your processes.

Implementing an administration shell infrastructure can be challenging: How do I integrate existing components into my own infrastructure, such as a Docker or Kubernetes environment? How do I configure the security aspects around role-based or attribute-based access controls? And how do I set up a public demonstrator with BaSyx Web UI and HTTPS for a trade fair that is still secure?
