Standardized Data Exchange for Industrial Dataspaces Using Asset Administration Shell, AutomationML and OPC UA
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents an integration methodology for Asset Administration Shell (AAS), AutomationML (AML), and OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) to address challenges in achieving seamless interoperability across engineering, runtime, and lifecycle data in Industry 4.0 ecosystems. The proposed approach combines AML for engineering data structuring, OPC UA for real-time communication, and AAS for unified lifecycle management, enabling seamless and efficient data exchange. The methodology was validated using a lab-scale production system, demonstrating its potential to streamline lifecycle management processes and enhance interoperability. While the integration was successful, challenges remain, highlighting the need for further standardization. This research provides a scalable framework for advancing digital transformation in manufacturing systems.
