Title

Production Administration Shell is in charge of connecting and managing the CPS digital twin service model towards the MESS Core. The PAS represents the I4.0 compliant twinning counterpart of a generic production CPS, in which the latter is in control of the physical devices. The great advantage of this CPS Twinning solution is that, regardless of the specific method chosen by the designer for their CPS integration, once connected to the MESS Core via the PAS, the overall system seamlessly provides a standardized OPC UA-equivalent transformation of the CPS service and information model to the external world.
