DPP4.0 – The Digital Product Passport for Industry 4.0
The Digital Product Passport for Industry 4.0 is an industry-ready tool for documenting and providing product information in a human- and machine-readable format accessible for various parties such as companies, authorities and users.
Full transparency
All product information from the entire product lifecycle with the DPP4.0
Established standards with the Asset Administration Shell (AAS)
Semantically unique, structured and machine-readable data
Industry-neutral standard for cross-company communication
Controlled access to product information based on different authentication methods
Easy access via the identification link on the product
Experience the DPP4.0
How the Digital Product Passport works in practice
The interactive demonstrator shows how information on various assets, including the product carbon footprint, is mapped along the entire value chain – from the manufacture of the component to its deployment in a machine and ongoing operation in the factory – and shared according to requirements enabled by the Asset Administration Shell.
Regulation
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) of the European Union requires the Digital Product Passport for sustainable and circular products.
Transparency
The DPP must contain data on a product’s carbon footprint, recyclability and further product-specific information.
Ecosystem
Data must be shared along the value chain – this affects component manufacturers, plant and machine manufacturers and ultimately also operators.
Chances
Thanks to standardised procedures with the AAS, new business models are available by systematising access to a wide range of data.

DPP4.0 ready for the industrial implementation
The Asset Administration Shell is an international standard (IEC 63278). Complemented by the IDTA Specifications it defines the software structure, interface and semantics of the AAS and thus create the foundation for the standardized Digital Twin.
For a quick overview start with the Asset Administration Shell Reading Guide. This document acts as a guide by recommending selected „must-read” documents for different reader groups.
