Asset Administration Shell for industrial applications - Part 1: Asset Administration Shell structure (IEC 63278-1:2023)

This document defines the structure of a standardized digital representation of an asset, called Asset Administration Shell. The Asset Administration Shell gives uniform access to information and services.
The purpose of the Asset Administration Shell is to enable two or more software applications to exchange information and to mutually use the information that has been exchanged in a trusted and secure way.
This document focusses on Asset Administration Shells representing assets of manufacturing enterprises including products produced by those enterprises and the full hierarchy of industrial equipment. It defines the related structures, information, and services.
The Asset Administration Shell applies to:
- any type of industrial process (discrete manufacturing, continuous process, batch process, hybrid production);
- any industrial sector applying industrial-process measurement, control and automation;
- the entire life cycle of assets from idea to end of life treatment;
- assets which are physical, digital, or intangible entities.

Enveloppe de Gestion d'Actif pour applications industrielles - Partie 1: Structure de l'Enveloppe de Gestion d'Actif (IEC 63278-1:2023)

L’IEC 63278-1:2023 définit la structure d’une représentation numérique normalisée d’un actif, appelée Enveloppe de Gestion d’Actif (AAS). L’Enveloppe de Gestion d’Actif donne un accès uniforme aux informations et aux services. L’objectif de l’Enveloppe de Gestion d’Actif est de permettre à deux ou plusieurs applications logicielles d’échanger des informations et d’utiliser mutuellement les informations qui ont été échangées de manière sûre et fiable. Le présent document est axé sur les Enveloppes de Gestion d’Actif représentant les actifs des entreprises de fabrication, y compris les produits fabriqués par ces entreprises et la hiérarchie complète des équipements industriels. Il définit les structures, les informations et les services connexes. L’Enveloppe de Gestion d’Actif s’applique:
à tout type de processus industriel (fabrication à l’unité, processus en continu, processus par lots, production hybride);
à tout secteur industriel appliquant la mesure, la commande et l’automation dans les processus industriels;
à la totalité du cycle de vie des actifs, de l’idée initiale au traitement de fin de vie;
aux actifs qui sont des entités physiques, numériques ou immatérielles.

Ogrodje sredstva upravljanja za industrijske aplikacije - 1. del: Struktura ogrodja sredstva upravljanja (IEC 63278-1:2023)

Ta dokument določa strukturo standardizirane digitalne predstavitve sredstva, imenovane ogrodje sredstva upravljanja. Ogrodje sredstva upravljanja zagotavlja enoten dostop do informacij in storitev.
Namen ogrodja sredstva upravljanja je omogočiti dvema ali več programskim aplikacijam, da si izmenjujejo informacije in medsebojno uporabljajo izmenjane informacije na zaupen in varen način.
Ta dokument se osredotoča na ogrodja sredstev upravljanja, ki predstavljajo sredstva proizvodnih podjetij, vključno z izdelki, ki jih le-ta proizvajajo, in celotno hierarhijo industrijske opreme. Opredeljuje povezane strukture, informacije in storitve.
Ogrodje sredstva upravljanja se uporablja za:
– vse vrste industrijskih procesov (diskretna proizvodnja, neprekinjena obdelava, paketna obdelava, hibridna proizvodnja);
– vsak industrijski sektor, v katerem se izvajajo merjenje, nadzor in avtomatizacija industrijskih procesov;
– celoten življenjski cikel sredstev od ideje do obdelave po izteku življenjske dobe;
– sredstva, ki so fizične, digitalne ali neopredmetene enote.
