“…The ability to collect, aggregate and exchange data and information between different suppliers, manufacturers and customers could present interoperability issues. As the DT can potentially integrate data from the lifetime of a product seamlessly, several key research challenges concern the definition of standards and communication protocols to ensure interoperability of multiple digital twins with each other (Platenius-Mohr et al 2020). The development of standards-based interoperability is important and challenging at the same time for the evolution of digital twin applications along the entire life cycle.…”

“…The semantic criterion is contained in the RAMI4.0 information layer, being fundamental to ensure the interpretability and avoid the ambiguity of exchanged information between two or more I4.0 components. At this stage, ecl@ss and IEC CDD are recommended candidates, as suggest in [8] and explored in [13], [18], [24]. Other authors, namely [25], [26], propose the Resource Description Framework (RDF) towards a common semantic model for I4.0.…”

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) is promoting the digitization of traditional manufacturing systems towards flexible, reconfigurable and intelligent factories based on Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). In this context, the Reference Architecture Model Industrie 4.0 (RAMI4.0) provides guidelines to develop I4.0 compliant solutions based on industrial standards. As the main RAMI4.0 specification, the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is a standard digital representation of an industrial asset that plays a pivotal role in enabling interoperable communication among I4.0 components across the value chain. This paper provides an analysis of the current state-of-the-art of implementing AAS, discussing, amongst others, the key enabling technologies used to implement the AAS and the alignment of the research works found in the literature with the I4.0 components criteria.

“…Regarding further governance issues, AAS can be adopted to exchange data with other companies in an inter-operable manner for brownfield scenarios [ 65 , 66 ], where companies already have their internal digital twins. As for greenfield scenarios, companies may start designing their digital twins based on the specification of AAS.…”

Industrial Cyber–Physical System (CPS) is an emerging approach towards value creation in modern industrial production. The development and implementation of industrial CPS in real-life production are rewarding yet challenging. This paper aims to present a concept to develop, commercialize, operate, and maintain industrial CPS which can motivate the advance of the research and the industrial practice of industrial CPS in the future. We start with defining our understanding of an industrial CPS, specifying the components and key technological aspects of the industrial CPS, as well as explaining the alignment with existing work such as Industrie 4.0 concepts, followed by several use cases of industrial CPS in practice. The roles of each component and key technological aspect are described and the differences between traditional industrial systems and industrial CPS are elaborated. The multidisciplinary nature of industrial CPS leads to challenges when developing such systems, and we present a detailed description of several major sub-challenges that are key to the long-term sustainability of industrial CPS design. Since the research of industrial CPS is still emerging, we also discuss existing approaches and novel solutions to overcome these sub-challenges. These insights will help researchers and industrial practitioners to develop and commercialize industrial CPS.
