Automated Configuration of BaSyx DataBridge using Standardized Asset Administration Shell Interface Modelling

The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) standard links the gap between physical and digital assets. It provides a structured and standardized way for describing assets. The DataBridge component within the BaSyx platform enables integration of multiple protocols, real-time data ingestion, transformation, and mapping from data sources onto AAS SubmodelElements. However, configuring the DataBridge requires significant manual effort in complex and real scenarios with a huge amount of data. This paper presents a novel software service for automating the DataBridge configuration using AAS-based standard submodels. The component simplifies configuration by automatically generating JSON configuration files based on a standardized AAS, reducing manual effort and accelerating development cycles in agile environments. The solution has been demonstrated using XXL Pilot Factory, showcasing how Asset Interface Descriptions (AIDs) and Asset Interface Mapping Communication (AIMC) submodels automate DataBridge configuration.
