We are happy to announce new OI4 white paper: “Unlocking Poten­tial: Collab­o­ra­tive Company Perspec­tives on Asset Admin­is­tra­tion Shell (AAS)” 

This compre­hen­sive paper delves into the collab­o­ra­tive efforts within the OI4 Alliance, focusing on the compo­nent supplier work­group’s explo­ration of digi­tal­iza­tion chal­lenges and the adop­tion of digital twins. 

What you will find in the paper: 

• Exam­i­na­tion of the group’s vision and the growing centrality of digital twins in product and factory digi­tal­iza­tion, partic­u­larly in addressing market demands for stan­dard­ized product infor­ma­tion. 
• Details on the imple­men­ta­tion of stan­dard­ized digital twins based on Asset Admin­is­tra­tion Shells (AAS). 
• High­lights of the consor­tium’s approach to achieving imple­mented stan­dard­iza­tion and explo­ration of emerging use cases, such as the digital product pass­port and value-adding services. 
• Tech­nical aspects, empha­sizing the role of AAS in stan­dard­iza­tion and inter­op­er­ability, along­side initia­tives like Catena‑X and Factory‑X. 
• Chal­lenges and require­ments for successful Indus­trial Internet of Things (IIoT) imple­men­ta­tion, advo­cating for industry-wide stan­dards and cross-industry collab­o­ra­tion. 
• And much more!
