Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen buildingSMART Deutschland und #IDTA trägt erste Früchte bei der Förderung der offenen digitalen Interoperabilität in der #Gebäudetechnik und zeigt die branchenübergreifenden Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Digitalen Zwilling basierend auf der Asset Administration Shell (#AAS). Experten aus beiden Gemeinschaften haben die #Guideline „BIM-Gebäudemodell zur Integration von Maschinen, gebäudetechnischen Anlagen und externen Geräten mittels Verwaltungsschale“ ausgearbeitet, die eine Handlungsanweisung zur Verbindung und Nutzung digitaler Building Information Modeling (#BIM) Modelle mit der #AAS bietet. Damit lässt sich das digitale Gebäudemanagement nachhaltig optimieren. Während das BIM-Modell das Gebäude beschreibt, ist die AAS für die in das Gebäude eingebauten technischen Komponenten und Systeme zuständig. Durch die Verknüpfung der statischen BIM-Modelle (zum Beispiel im Format IFC) mit den dynamischen, in Echtzeit bereitgestellten Produktinformationen der AAS entsteht ein umfassender Digitaler Zwilling, der den gesamten Lebenszyklus eines Gebäudes abdeckt. Im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Ansätzen führt die Verbindung von BIM Modell mit AAS zu einer deutlich effizienteren Planung, geringeren Betriebskosten, erhöhter Nachhaltigkeit und einer verbesserten Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Beteiligten und deren Systemen. Das wird auf lange Sicht die Arbeitsweise im Bausektor revolutionieren. Wie die Verbindung von Zwillingen für Gebäude und für Produkte verknüpft werden, die Interaktion über den Lebenszyklus eines Gebäudes verläuft und welche Schritte bei der Umsetzung empfohlen sind, ist nachzulesen in der Guideline „BIM-Gebäudemodell zur Integration von Maschinen, gebäudetechnischen Anlagen und externen Geräten mittels Verwaltungsschale" auf der IDTA Webseite.

The #Submodel template (#SMT) "IDTA 02053-1-0 Control configuration and parametrization for NC/CNC machines" is aimed at users who commission or integrate Computerized Numerical Control (#CNC) machines and therefore require data to parametrize the CNC control. Commissioning a CNC control system becomes increasingly intricate due to the various CNC and component manufacturers. This SMT simplifies the location of the parameterization data. Different use cases have been identified that this SMT focuses: ✅ A machine integrator commissions a new CNC machine that has not yet been parameterized in the company. Existing information is presented in a structured manner and is thus time saving and increases efficiency. ✅ A system integrator tasks with commissioning a CNC control system without access to the company`s internal files. By utilizing the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) as a structured data storage mechanism, relevant information for CNC parameterization and configuration is maintained and systematically available. ✅ A machine integrator has many variants of a machine type. Each machine configuration will be derived based on the individual order of the customer. A specific setup procedure – containing the wanted components with its configuration data – is being defined automatically.

The #Submodel template (SMT) "IDTA 02019-1-0 Plant Asset Management Specification Sheet" is a crucial tool for the procurement and documentation of Plant Asset Management (#PAM) functions in industrial settings. Its scope includes establishing a clear contractual basis and documenting PAM functions. These functions can range from special control system functions to add-on parts on production equipment or enabled functions within the equipment. ✅ The Submodel #standardizes requirements, specifications, and expectations related to PAM functions, allowing all stakeholders, such as producers, control system manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers, to have a shared understanding. ✅ It includes detailed descriptions of function blocks, sensors, and monitoring devices, ensuring a comprehensive record of PAM functionalities. ✅ It acts as a central reference, aligning efforts and fostering collaboration between departments such as procurement, operation, maintenance, sales, and engineering. ✅ The Submodel promotes transparency and manages dependencies in engineering PAM functions. ✅It provides information for informed decisions regarding maintenance, upgrades, and component replacement.
