Towards Mass Individualized Production: RAMI 4.0 Asset Data Channelling for Manufacturing Value Chain Connectivity

Abstract

Mass production of individualized products becomes essential for delivering personalized customer experience in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. Developing seamless value chain integration between enterprises, such as suppliers, retailers, and manufacturers, to achieve mass production of individualized products is challenging. This paper proposes a method of asset integration and asset data channeling between enterprises in a value chain, namely Asset Administration System (AAdSys), designed based on RAMI 4.0. A use case that involves PEC application and OMIS manufacturing line for full automation of individualized mixed juice production is developed. The use case demonstrates how data channeling between a retailer and a manufacturer using AAdSys can be done.
