Asset Administration Shell: the bridge between tangible assets and the IoT world
18 February 2021
Join this interactive webinar on Wednesday 31 March at 10am and find out more about the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) which is a key step towards digital twins and the digitalisation of manufacturing industry.
In this 30 minute webinar, Dr. Michael Hoffmeister from Festo HQ, a key influencer in the development of Industry 4.0 and an expert on the AAS, will explain the concept, why it is important and show example applications of what is possible.
The AAS is a bridge between a tangible asset and the IoT world. In easy terms, it’s a magical tool which equips any industrial component with capabilities to talk and to share information within the digital IoT world. It enables a smart asset to describe "Who am I?", "What do I do?" and "How do I fit?", in a standardised, machine readable format. Paving the way to interoperability in digital systems, the AAS brings added value by seamlessly exchanging information via open standards, across companies and sectors.
Dr. Michael Hoffmeister is an Industry 4.0 visionary. He has worked as a researcher and project manager at the Fraunhofer Institute IPA. He was a consultant for large IT projects in the areas of factory operations, machine integration and big data. In research, he worked on intelligent machines, semantic technologies, big data and the integration of heterogeneous automation systems. Since 2012, he has been responsible for portfolio management for software tools for Festo. He chairs the Industry 4.0 working group on ‘Models and Standards’.
