Digitalization

ECLASS turns data into information

Talking to each other is not enough – we have to be able to understand each other. This is true for people, for software systems and, now, for things.
A large amount of data is already digitally recorded in all phases of a product's life cycle. But what does this data mean, and how can it be interpreted and correctly “understood” throughout the course of all phases? How can a common understanding be ensured during data transfer?

ECLASS offers an established solution for 20 years with other industrial use cases. The unique strengths of ECLASS are particularly relevant when used for cross-enterprise process-data management as well as procurement, controlling, production and distribution. But this is true not only for Industry 4.0 applications or Smart Manufacturing – the use of a Digital Twin is already supporting several areas:


WHITE PAPER OF PLATTFORM INDUSTRIE 4.0 AND ECLASS „MODELLING THE SEMANTICS OF DATA OF AN ASSET ADMINISTRATION SHELL WITH ELEMENTS OF ECLASS”

Plattform Industrie 4.0 recommends ECLASS as the preferred dictionary of standardized semantic to create meaningful Asset Administration Shells or Digital Twins. The AAS has standardized the structure and ECLASS has standardized the semantics for information elements, which should be used for the definition of digital twins. The structure of the AAS and the ECLASS dictionary complement each other in a perfect manner to achieve this objective.

The objective of this whitepaper is to work out which structures of ECLASS can be used to define the semantics of structures of the AAS. This whitepaper therefore explores element by element how each element of the AAS can be semantically described within the means of the ECLASS Conceptual Data Model.
