Asset Administration Shell: Domain Specific Language Approach to Integrate Heterogeneous Device Endpoints

Manufacturing systems face the challenge of connecting different actuators. A uniform integration of interfaces is already used in practice. However, how these interfaces are connected is usually the responsibility of a domain expert who has the knowledge of these systems, or requires a non-open-source software to adapt the interfaces. Furthermore, the number of devices on the market increases the effort for integration into the own company structure. In this paper, we try to make the integration process more accessible to other actors by creating a publicly available domain-specific language, which should facilitate the transfer of new devices into the own company model.
