BaSyx Benefits

BaSyx is an Open-Source reference implementation of common Industrie 4.0 components. It did originate from the BaSys 4.0 project. With BaSyx, the following benefits of an Industrie 4.0 production may be achieved:

• Digitalization of production

BaSys enables realization of Asset Administration Shells (AAS) for all production entities, e.g. for products, devices, and workers. An AAS provides data through defined and regular interfaces, and therefore enable data analysis and data exchange across all production line devices, even if they are from different vendors. Consequently, a BaSys 4.0 conforming production has all production relevant production data available.

• Changeable production

Changing the architecture of a production system into a service based production enables production of multiple product types on the same line. By changing service orchestrations, i.e. the invoked services and service parameter, on-the-fly creation of new product types is possible. This enables rapid adaptation to changed product needs and to customized products. Service based interfaces integrate devices from different vendors into one production system. This way, orders may be moved to similar devices if a device fails.

• All information is always available

Our customizable AAS provide data through regular interfaces. Customized AAS also may aggregate and forward data, supporting a data flow through the complete production process. By adapting AAS implementations, information aggregation and forwarding may be adapted and tailored to the needs of specific automation contexts.
