D.13: NOVAAS

• Short Description: NOVAAS is an open source implementation of the RAMI4.0 Asset Administration Shell concept. The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) is a key concept within the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0. It is a standardized framework for describing and managing industrial assets and their digital representations (i.e., a “data image” of the asset) in a way that enables seamless interoperability between various components and systems in industrial environments. The AAS is used to digitalize any physical asset in order to be integrated seamlessly into and I4.0 compliant system. In the context of Circular TwAIn NOVAAS will be used for designing and developing I4.0 compatible Digital Twins. Moreover, NOVAAS can be used to run AI algorithms at the edge for several applications such as quality inspection, predictive maintenance, dashboarding etc. NOVAAS is currently compliant with the V2 specification of the AAS, the development team is working on giving support to the newer V3 specification of the AAS. The tool is implemented using the next-generation software development principles, i.e., using low/no code platforms, microservices and APIs and containers. The tool is containerised using Docker. Latest version of the tool is available on GitLab as Open Source repository (both source code and image). NOVAAS provides a REST API for retrieving data and send commands to the asset. Event-based communication (using MQTT standard) is also supported and used in the context of Circular TwAIn.
