The AIMEN Shell Toolkit provides a comprehensive solution for managing Asset Administration Shells (AAS) in Industry 4.0 environments. Our tool facilitates the creation, management, and visualization of digital twins, ensuring seamless integration and collaboration.
The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is a key concept in Industrie 4.0, serving as a digital counterpart of physical assets like machines, plants, or components within information and communication technology systems. This digital twin facilitates seamless communication and interaction between various objects and systems in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). AAS is designed with a modular structure, comprising multiple submodels, each representing distinct aspects of an asset. These submodels are independent in terms of semantics, and their selection depends on specific use cases and needs.
Easily define new Asset Administration Shells or edit existing ones with an intuitive interface.
Organize asset data into structured submodels, enabling better data utilization.
Ensure compliance with Industry 4.0 standards
Facilitate seamless data integration across different platforms and industrial applications.
Leverage the AAS to build comprehensive digital twins for predictive maintenance, optimization, and data analytics.
Manage user permissions with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) to protect sensitive information.
Empower your Industry 4.0 initiatives with the AIMEN Shell Toolkit's Human-Centric Asset Administration Shell (AAS) Editor. Simplify integration, enhance data accuracy, and streamline your industrial processes.
Our application simplifies the creation of an Asset Administration Shell through an intuitive, step-by-step guided form.
This feature helps ensure that all necessary data for the AAS is included with minimal effort, making it ideal for users who are new to the process.
Easily create and share AAS within designated workspaces, enabling collaborative management of digital twins. This feature allows you to control who can view or edit each AAS, providing a secure and flexible environment for team collaboration.
The Asset Administration Shell is a foundational concept for implementing Industry 4.0 and IIoT solutions. It provides a standardized, interoperable, and secure way to manage and utilize asset data, enabling smarter and more efficient industrial operations.
The AAS acts as a digital twin of a physical asset, encapsulating all relevant information about the asset, including its properties, status, and capabilities. This digital representation allows for better monitoring, control, and optimization of the asset.
The AAS provides a standardized framework for describing assets, ensuring interoperability between different systems and devices. This standardization is crucial for seamless integration and communication in industrial environments.
The AAS contains various submodels that represent different aspects of the asset, such as technical specifications, operational data, and maintenance records. These submodels enable comprehensive data management and facilitate data exchange between systems.
By adhering to standardized protocols and data formats, the AAS ensures that assets from different manufacturers can communicate and work together. This interoperability is essential for creating flexible and scalable industrial systems.
The AAS supports the entire lifecycle of an asset, from design and production to operation and maintenance. It provides a unified view of the asset's history and current state, enabling informed decision-making and efficient lifecycle management.t
The AAS bridges the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems. It allows for seamless integration with enterprise systems, such as ERP and MES, facilitating data-driven decision-making and process optimization.
The AIMEN Shell Toolkit is a user-friendly application designed to simplify the creation and management of Asset Administration Shell (AAS). It provides tools for defining, organizing, and visualizing digital twins of physical assets, making it easy for users to bridge operational technology and information systems.
The AIMEN Shell Toolkit is built with an intuitive interface suitable for users of all levels. Whether you’re new to asset administration or experienced in digital twin technology, the editor’s design is accessible and efficient for everyone.
Our application allows you to create and share AASs within designated workspaces. You can invite team members to collaborate, control permissions, manage admin privileges, and remove inactive users to maintain a streamlined workspace.
Yes! The AIMEN Shell Toolkit allows you to generate OPC UA server configurations directly from your AAS models. This feature streamlines the integration of digital twins with industrial systems, making it easier to connect to various operational platforms.
Built-in data validation ensures that each AAS is configured correctly and complies with necessary standards. This feature minimizes errors and ensures that your AAS meets all required specifications for effective digital twin management.
Absolutely. You can assign specific permissions for each AAS within a workspace, providing control over who can view or edit them. This flexibility allows for secure and efficient team collaboration.
You can invite new team members to join your workspace and assign admin privileges as needed. Additionally, unused or inactive users can be removed to maintain a streamlined, focused workspace.
