Description

The process of managing industrial machines begins with their configuration using IDTA Asset Administration Shells. The machines are then connected to the factory network, a step known as 'PLUG'. This leads to an automatic creation of a digital twin of each machine in the Asset Management System. The machine data is made accessible to Northbound Systems via the Asset Administration Shell and production phase can start ('PRODUCE'). This interface also allows for the control of the machines, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.

Customer Benefits

- Minimize the need for intense, individualized development efforts for onboarding of new assets.
- Standardized digital twins enable better monitoring, maintenance and optimization of assets.
- High-quality data enhances decision-making processes and ensures more reliable integration with IT systems.
- The solution supports scalability in managing assets as factory operations grow or change.

Description

mySaveID is a service and trust service (TSP) that gives your company and its employees or customers a reusable digital identity that can be exchanged in daily business with business partners and customers to digitally identify themselves or digitally prove their origin.
Things, e.g. machines or software, can also be assigned with their ID to establish a legal relationship with the company or a person.
For this purpose, authorisations can be stored and maintained in the system that describe the authorisation of employees or objects (machines, software, etc.) for interaction with third parties. These authorisations can be given as data releases in use cases so that they can react to them.
In addition, the service offers digital signatures and seals for signing contracts (as a natural person or company).

Customer Benefits

mySaveID is the basis for digital business processes with third parties.
- Digital ID for companies (trust service according to eIDAS).
- Management of powers of attorney for controlling signature processes or for granting limited authorisations to act for machines or software (basis for autonomous contract conclusions, legal framework).
- Signing of contracts marked for third parties in their role as authorised representatives.
- Use of digital identities within the context of the German Supply Chain Duties Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) and the product life cycle of machines and software
- Seamless integration into existing systems or use cases (API)

Description

Easy to use for getting information.
The Digital Service Assistant is the first tool from Bosch Rexroth which brings the Asset Administration Shell information direct to our customer. In the first step the user can scan the product and look into the different Submodels of the AAS direct on an end device. Later on there will be the possibility to download the AAS on the end device or deploy it in the company’s own system landscape.

Customer Benefits

The customer benefit of using the Digital Service Assistant from Bosch Rexroth is that it provides an easy and convenient way to access information about their products. With the ability to scan the product and directly access the different Submodels of the Asset Administration Shell (AAS), customers can quickly find the information they need without having to search for it. Additionally, with the option to download or deploy the AAS on their own system, customers have more control over how they use the information and can integrate it into their existing systems seamlessly. This ultimately leads to improved efficiency and productivity for the customer.
