Identification of Artifacts in Life Cycle Phases of CPPS

Patterns for Reuse in Production Systems Engineering

“…In PSE, engineers create various types of engineering artifacts and models [5], [14]. However, the used formats and tools have traditionally been optimized for a single discipline, and while engineers are well connected within their domains, there is often an insufficient interdisciplinary exchange.…”

“…However, the used formats and tools have traditionally been optimized for a single discipline, and while engineers are well connected within their domains, there is often an insufficient interdisciplinary exchange. Further, the engineering artifacts and information are scattered throughout the engineering landscape [5]. Much of the engineering knowledge is implicit knowledge of the domain experts.…”

“…The Asset Administration Shell (AAS), their standardized digital representation [3], can describe their skills [4] and adapt the I4.0 assets to changes in the production environment. The aim is to fulfill business demands for increased flexibility and distribution of production, i.e., production as a service, and to react to shorter product life-cycles with reduced PSE project duration and effort [5].…”

“…The engineering of a production system is a collaborative effort of experts coming from many disciplines, like mechanical, electrical, and software engineering [11]. However, traditionally much of the engineering information is hidden in scattered engineering artifacts and much of the knowledge is implicit domain knowledge of engineering experts [5] (cf. Section IV).…”
