Standards and Middleware

In TP13, “Standards and Middleware,” of the “ AAS4WH ” project, potential solutions were developed for applying industry standards and norms to describe information fragments in the Asset Administration Shell . The current state of development of the OPC-UA Companion Specification for the wiring harness industry was presented to provide a comprehensive overview of the status of standardization and interoperability in this field.

In addition, existing semantic descriptions—such as VEC (Vehicle Electric Container), ECLASS, and IEC—are being evaluated for their compatibility and added value for the Asset Administration Shell .

Another focus was on analyzing and comparing established solutions such as AAS-Designer, Eclipse BaSyx, and Mnestix in order to evaluate the potential applications of the “ Asset Administration Shell ” (VWS) in industrial practice.
