A complete product story – from creation to owner­ship and change to auto­mated creation of a Digital Product Pass­port

In this demon­strator, a produc­tion of a  bicycle takes shape — not just phys­i­cally, but digi­tally.
Each compo­nent, from frame to saddle, is repre­sented by its own Asset Admin­is­tra­tion Shell (AAS). Together, they form the foun­da­tion for a Digital Product Pass­port (DPP) that grows auto­mat­i­cally as the product evolves.

Visi­tors can expe­ri­ence how data flows through the entire life­cycle:

• Digital Product Pass­port (DPP): All rele­vant infor­ma­tion — tech­nical data, mate­rials, and sustain­ability para­me­ters — are stored in the AAS. As the product takes shape, the DPP builds itself auto­mat­i­cally.

• AAS Transfer of Owner­ship: When the bicycle is handed over to a new owner, its digital twin moves with it. The AAS, including all rele­vant submodels, is securely trans­ferred across company bound­aries, main­taining data integrity and access control.

• AAS Product Change Noti­fi­ca­tion (PCN): If a compo­nent changes — for example, a new handlebar design — the update is published auto­mat­i­cally via an AAS submodel. Stake­holders are noti­fied instantly, and down­stream systems can react without manual effort.

Why it matters
This demon­strator shows how the Asset Admin­is­tra­tion Shell can connect processes and part­ners along a product’s life­cycle — from produc­tion to use and back. What was once frag­mented data becomes a contin­uous, trusted infor­ma­tion flow.

The result: trans­parent prod­ucts, seam­less handovers, and struc­tured change commu­ni­ca­tion — all built on open stan­dards.

Making cali­bra­tion trust­worthy, struc­tured, and machine-read­able

Cali­bra­tion certifi­cates today are often issued as PDFs or paper docu­ments — useful for humans, but not for machines. The DCC via AAS demon­strator trans­forms cali­bra­tion data into struc­tured, authen­ti­cated, and inter­op­er­able digital form, enabling seam­less exchange across compa­nies and systems.

In our demon­strator, each measure­ment instru­ment is repre­sented by an AAS (Asset Admin­is­tra­tion Shell). The cali­bra­tion result is stored in a stan­dard­ized digital cali­bra­tion certifi­cate submodel. The certifi­cate is signed, versioned, and securely shared — so down­stream systems can consume and trust the data auto­mat­i­cally.

Key capa­bil­i­ties:

• Machine-read­able cali­bra­tion data instead of manual conver­sion

• Secure, signed cali­bra­tion certifi­cates ensuring data integrity

• Auto­matic inte­gra­tion of cali­bra­tion results into work­flows and quality systems

• Cross-company inter­op­er­ability without custom inter­faces

Why it matters
With the DCC demon­strator, we close the gap between measure­ment and automa­tion. No more manual re-entry of cali­bra­tion data, no ambi­guity in inter­pre­ta­tion, and no isolated silos. Metrology, quality, and automa­tion systems all benefit. Manu­fac­turers, cali­bra­tion labs, and system inte­gra­tors gain a trusted, scal­able path to digital cali­bra­tion — one that fits into broader industry 4.0 archi­tec­tures.
