MBD-Enhanced Asset Administration Shell for Generic Production Line Design
针对生产线设备互操作性差导致难以快速重构的问题，提出基于模型定义的增强型资产管理壳，通过案例验证其能提升互操作性并缩短设计时间。
The production line must continuously adjust to meet the increasing demand for individualized products, such as the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) production line. However, the lack of interoperability among equipment hinders the rapid reconfiguration of a production line. The reference architecture model for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) introduces an asset administration shell (AAS) as a new technique to facilitate I4.0 interoperability. AAS is a specification that presents a standard manner to represent assets. To further enhance AAS configuration efficiency, we propose model-based definition (MBD)-enhanced AAS (MBD-AAS) for generic production line design. MBD-AAS optimizes AAS configuration and enables plug-and-play equipment for the production line. We validate the applicability and benefits of MBD-AAS with a case study of a UAV production line design. The experimental results demonstrate that MBD-AAS improves AAS’s interoperability and reduces production line design time.
