Example implementation of a digital twin exchange with the Asset Administration Shell concept
The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) collects relevant information about physical or logical units to ensure efficient production. This article describes a concrete implementation of an example in which an exchange of information between two partners involved is established with the aid of the BaSyx implementation of the AAS v3.
Cloud-native microservices in monorepos – Part 2
This series highlights the implementation of microservice architectures with monorepos and serverless cloud applications. Part 2 shows how the Nx build system can be used in this context and emphasizes the advantages of monorepos in combination with the appropriate CI/CD structure.
Cloud-native microservices in monorepos – Part 1
This series highlights the implementation of microservice architectures with monorepos and serverless cloud applications. Part 1 looks at the challenges in managing microservices in a typical multi-repo set-up and suggests integration into monorepos.
Data platforms for Factory 4.0 – make or buy? The foundation for smart production
This blog post examines the role of data platforms in Factory 4.0 and discusses the pros and cons of standard software and customised software. The quality and availability of process data have a crucial bearing on the way that modern digital technologies are implemented. Data platforms are able to collect and provide this data from different sources. Standard software is available and ready to use quickly, but it may not fulfil all the specific requirements. A customised cloud-native solution can be adapted as requirements change and offers a high level of investment security. It also enables several companies to work together on the data platform to create a greater level of added value.
