Model Transformation for Asset Administration Shells

Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, pp. 2207–2212

Abstract

In the scope of Industry 4.0 (I40), one goal is the standardized access to asset information and asset services using standardized submodels (submodel templates) in the Asset Administration Shell. Since submodel templates are modeled by different groups of people, the same asset information will be contained in several submodel templates. For automatic generation of new submodels based on existing information from other submodels, model transformation can be a solution. Therefore, in this contribution, we present a guideline on how to develop a new model transformation language for a given use case and apply this guideline to the concrete use case (model transformation for Asset Administration Shells). As a result, we define of the abstract syntax of a customized model transformation language called AASMTL.
