The Asset Administration Shell concept in general

The asset administration shell (AAS) is a digital twin of a physical asset that provides a standardized way to describe and access data about the asset. It acts as a container for all relevant information about the asset, including its technical characteristics, operational data, and related services. By providing a common structure for representing and accessing this information, the asset administration shell enables interoperability between different IIoT systems and helps organizations manage and maintain their assets more effectively.
