Specification of the metamodel of the Asset Administration Shell
Presentation
Catena-X und Manufacturing-X sind als Schlagworte jedem bekannt, der sich mit Digitalisierung in der Industrie befasst. Im CIIT-Techtalk am 17. Februar ist die Expertin für Digitale Zwillinge und semantische Interoperabilität, Frau Dr. Birgit Boss, zu Gast. Interoperable digitale Zwillinge sind in beiden Initiativen ein wichtiger Baustein für den D...
Technical Report
The modeling of products begins with the modeling of product aspects. Although mature public property dictionaries exist, such as IEC CDD and ECLASS, individual needs can hardly be satisfied based on public repositories alone. Companies often want to define their product characteristics using public standards so that the syntax is interoperable and...
