Digital Twin in Industrie 4.0 for Embedded Systems

The realization of Industrie 4.0 potential depends on the utilization of digital twins, commonly implemented as Asset Administration Shells. AAS provides a strong framework for describing assets and their functionalities, and is expected to become a key component of digital twin for embedded systems. In the fields of Industrial Cyber Physical Systems and Industrial Internet Of Things, AAS serves as a bridge between microcontroller and high-performance systems.Current Software Development Kits for AAS focus rather on cloud and PC applications. Building on top of transpilation-based approaches, we explore novel ways how to adapt the SDKs for AAS in order to bring them to industrial embedded systems. Our method is designed to streamline the development process in particular for micro-controller and Industrial Control Systems contexts.
