Whitepaper Digitalization
Scope definition of the IILS to further define end-to-end digitization in the Asset Administration Shell.
End-to-end digitization
End-to-end digitization
SP11 deals with the end-to-end digitalization of the process chain. The aim of the sub-project is to create a digital twin by managing and linking the currently fragmented development and production processes. The aim is to enable interoperable communication and the error-free exchange of information in order to meet today's requirements for the complexity and quality of wire harnesses.
The initial situation and motivation
The Wire Harness is one of the most expensive individual components in today's cars.
Despite its enormous complexity, both the development processes and, in particular, the production processes involve a considerable amount of manual work and media breaks when modifying, releasing and passing on the individual fragments of its digital sub-twins.
A solution for managing and linking these fragments is required in order to realize an end-to-end, cross-company mapping of a holistic digital twin.
The Asset Administration Shell developed by the Industry 4.0 platform could provide a solution for this link by mapping it to the automotive wiring harness value chain.
The current focus of our work
The result of project phase 2.1 is the white paper on the application of the Asset Administration Shell to the value chain.
The white paper describes 12 fields of action that should be considered in the subsequent phases:
- Information models
- Product description (KBL, VEC, BOM, SBOM, BOP)
- Production resources (equipment, systems, tools)
- Implications for the conceptual coupling of the VWS
- Infrastructure, data infrastructure (Gaia-X)
- Production control (OPC UA, SiOME etc.)
- Enrichment of the VWS in the product creation process
- Governance, roles, rights, scope, integrity
- Relevant assets in the Wire Harness
- List of potential cooperation partners and organizations
- Overview of relevant available solutions / tools
- Definition of demonstrator / application example / field report
The outlook
In phase 2.2, the fields of action developed in the white paper are to be within the framework of several project proposals of the economic stimulus packages 35c funded projects.
Until the start of the 35c-projects, the sub-project 11 will be continued for the transition and organization of the continuation.
