Asset Administration Shells as Data Layer for Enabling Automated Simulation-based Engineering

IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), pp. 1–7

Abstract

The Asset Administration Shell offers the capabilities for unified and interoperable data exchange across the entire life-cycle of an asset. Therefore, using Asset Administration Shells as a data layer is a practical option for facilitating the exchange of information in Simulation-based Engineering. The feasibility of this approach is demonstrated through an implementation, showing that incorporating the Asset Administration Shell as a data layer for standardized data exchange can yield significant benefit for the Simulation-based Engineering process.
