Decentralised Production Using Asset Administration Shell

Abstract

This work gradually summarizes key areas in decentralised production and asset administration shell. The infrastructure stands on Siemens PLCs with OPC UA servers. Furthermore, this paper presents a practical solution together with testing results on applications of industry 4.0 concept of asset administration shell, serving as a proof of concept for future research in this area. The findings underscore the potential of decentralized production coupled with asset administration shell to revolutionize industrial processes, offering enhanced flexibility, efficiency, and autonomy.
