AAS expert workshop Nov' 2023 - Data fusion and digital thread

Networking event in Kaiserslautern on the use of the Asset Administration Shell

The KoPa35c A2 event, which took place on November 9, 2023 at SmartFactory-KL, marked the end of the second third of the project term for projects such as AdaProQ, SDM4FZI, Tooling, Twin4Trucks and VWS4LS. The event provided a platform for professional exchange, at which the projects presented their progress, experiences and issues relating to the use of the Asset Administration Shell .

With keynote speeches from Schunk and Sick AG, the first possibilities of how the Asset Administration Shell can be used in an industrial context were presented. In addition, poster sessions and workshops were held, providing the event with a broad discussion platform on the implementation of IT/OT solutions, data fusion and other relevant topics. The poster sessions facilitated in-depth discussions, while the workshops encouraged active participation and concrete solutions.

The event served not only to exchange information, but also to build networks. Participants were able to make contacts, explore opportunities for cooperation and learn from different perspectives. At the same time, the Interoperability and Asset Administration Shell working group was launched in September, forming a bridge between the ongoing projects and the overarching standardization efforts.

Overall, the workshop kick-off was a success and will be continued in the future. The interactive nature of the event encouraged an open exchange and the networking promises sustainable development beyond the duration of the project.
