In the recent article ‘Increasing Interoperability between Digital Twin Standards and Specifications: Transformation of DTDL to AAS’, published in the Journal ‘Sensors’, MODAPTO partners Carlos Schmidt, Friedrich Volz, Ljiljana Stojanovic and Gerhard Sutschet from Fraunhofer IOSB, explore the challenge of achieving interoperability in Industry 4.0 with digital twin standards.
This paper suggests a method to enhance interoperability by transforming between different standards. It introduces specific specifications and requirements for transformation, focusing on a mapping between DTDL and AAS. The authors demonstrate the feasibility of this approach through successful implementation and testing on a physical asset, highlighting its potential for converting DTDL models to AAS when needed.
