Description

In the edge-based application Industrial Information Hub (IIH), all information is brought together, and made available via standardized interfaces. With the help of semantic data models, it allows you to gather production data from across the organization as the basis for digitization. Accordingly, the IIH implements an AAS repository that can operate as the heart of use cases such as asset management, data connectivity to the PLC and shop-floor devices, data consolidation via OPC UA, use of automatically generated semantic data model, local creation of an asset model and its synchronization with other systems to generate information out of process data.


Customer Benefits

The IIH collates all information in a data lake and automatically generates a semantic model. This contributes to the overall improvement of your data management and facilitates the integration of future plants and machines into existing structures. With the AAS the engineering is further accelerated, e.g. through a plug&play device onboarding.

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)

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.
