Better Information for Safer Decisions and Efficient Operations

The solution links physical components to their Asset Administration Shells (AAS) in the manufacturers’ AAS cloud repository via Digital Nameplates with QR codes. After subscribing to an instance AAS, firmware update information is automatically provided as well as indicated by a note in the dashboard. This creates a consistent, manufacturer-independent process for secure and efficient firmware management.

Benefit of the Asset Administration Shell

  • Maximum cybersecurity transparency
  • Significant time savings in operation
  • Faster maintenance through clear localization
  • Automated update information without loss of control
