In the project BaSys4Transfer, Fraunhofer IESE is conducting research on the transfer of Asset Administration Shells and Digital Twins to industry. The Asset Administration Shell was developed as a standardized digital representation of assets in digital space. It can represent different types of assets and is therefore predestined as a technological basis for Digital Twins. In the context of the project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the Industrie 4.0 middleware Eclipse BaSyx is being further developed as a technical infrastructure for the implementation of Asset Administration Shells and Digital Twins. Particular attention is being paid to the integration of Asset Administration Shells with existing assets so that the Digital Twin always represents the current state of its asset, and to the development of complex Digital Twins that represent a large number of assets and thereby completely virtualize a factory, for example. This enables numerous use cases such as virtual commissioning of devices or development of new business and manufacturing processes.
