Plattform für die Bereitstellung von Verwaltungsschalen in Drittsystemen

twinsphere bietet Ihrem Unternehmen eine sichere, robuste und skalierbare Plattform zur Bereitstellung von Verwaltungsschalen (Asset Administration Shell). Die AAS Plattform kann sowohl für den interaktiven Zugriff durch Endanwender über ein Produktportal oder den benutzerfreundlichen twinsphere AAS Viewer genutzt werden. Die Plattform dient aber auch als Basis zur Integration in Drittsysteme, etwa im Rahmen einer Maschine-zu-Maschine Kommunikation. Die twinsphere suite unterstützt Ihr Unternehmen dabei, Digitale Zwillinge auf Basis der Verwaltungsschalen zu registrieren, zu validieren, zu lokalisieren und über eine standarisierte API abzurufen.   

Dokumentenübergabe nach VDI 2770 

 

twinsphere unterstützt die Digitalen Herstellerinformationen der VDI 2770 Norm und die Anforderungen aus dem Digital Data Chain Consortium (DDCC), indem es Unternehmen ermöglicht, ihre Dokumentation und Daten effizient zu verwalten und zu verteilen. Der VDI-2770 Adapter erlaubt zusammen mit dem ebenfalls angebotenen PDF-A Konverter die Ausleitung von Dokumenten in einen VDI-2770 konformen Dokument-Container, um diese Informationen zum Beispiel an Sharecat zu überführen.

Kunden können mit diesem Zusatzdienst einfach automatisierte Dokumentübermittlung in der Prozessindustrie nutzen. Und das, ohne ihre technischen Redaktionssysteme anzupassen oder ein komplexes und teures System- und Datenintegrationsprojekt durchführen zu müssen.  

Gut informiert entlang der Wertschöpfungskette  


Auch für die Übermittlung von Informationen entlang der Wertschöpfungskette (etwa an Zulieferer oder Kunden) hat twinsphere passgenaue Lösungen. Stellen Sie Ihren Kunden einen einfachen Zugang zum Digitalen Typenschild oder stets aktuelle Produktdokumentationen interaktiv oder maschinenlesbar bereit.

Der Nachrichten-Service bietet dazu Benachrichtigungen über Änderungen im Datenbestand der Digitalen Zwillinge und lässt sich beispielsweise nutzen, um Käufer eines bestimmten Typs einer Komponente über die Bereitstellung einer neuen Betriebs- oder Wartungsanweisung zu informieren. Vernetzen Sie diesen Nachrichten-Dienst noch mit dem ebenfalls angebotenen Push-Service, so lässt sich statt der Information über die Änderung gleich eine ganz neue Verwaltungsschale an Ihre Geschäftspartner übermitteln.  

Digitaler Produktpass as a Service  

Die Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-Plattform twinsphere ermöglicht es Unternehmen, Digitale Zwillinge basierend auf der Verwaltungsschale effizient entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette zu implementieren. Sie können darauf aufbauend Anwendungsfälle wie den Digitalen Produktpass (DPP) oder das CO2-Reporting Ihrer Produkte (Product Carbon Footprint – PCF) umsetzen und sich somit schon heute auf zukünftige regulatorische Anforderungen einstellen.

Durch die Nutzung des Metamodells der IDTA, der Bereitstellung relevanter Informationen (wie technischer Daten oder Dokumentation) gemäß ECLASS-Klassifikation, einer standardkonformen API und einem ausgeklügelten Event-Service gelingt dies interoperabel und ohne komplexe Integrationsprojekte. 

Without twinsphere, nothing else matters... twinsphere, with its Asset Administration Shell, provides us with the ideal foundation for all our product-related data services.

It reduces effort and complexity, allowing subject matter experts to create Digital Twins without requiring AAS expertise.

 

twinsphere_AAS-Creator

 

Blueprints for creating identical Digital Twins

 

Blueprints enable the graphical creation of templates for consistent generation of administration shells. They include a set of predefined submodels (both standard and custom) that must be filled in by the user, default values for properties, requirements for mandatory fields, and editable help texts that simplify the process.

Daumen-hoch

This reduces errors and complexity in creating Digital Twins, thereby enhancing their quality.
