Original Kurzfassung:
In the context of digital transformation, digital twin data is increasingly
being exchanged across company boundaries. As this data exchange is little
or not at all standardized today, this results in major interoperability problems.
Consequently, inefficiencies in the transfer of data occur, leading to high efforts in
identification, structuring and completion as well as a lack of quality of the digital
twin data especially within the engineering phase. Looking at the requirements
from industrial experts to solve interoperability in the exchange of digital twin data,
the concept of the asset administration shell (AAS) presented by Industry 4.0 offers
possible solutions, which have not yet been implemented and validated in practice
across organizations. For this purpose, a new, standardized, and cross-company
data exchange and collaboration model as well as a prototype implementation in
the context of the interoperable digital twin is under development to also analyze
the benefits and potentials of the standardization approach. This paper presents
the motivation and research problem of the project, and how expert knowledge
and relevant existing work can be utilized to develop a solution based on empirical
evidence and AAS capabilities.
