Knick: Delivering Intelligent Information to Enable the Digital Twin for a Medium-Sized Enterprise

This pilot project showcases the implementation of the iiRDS metadata model at Knick, a medium-sized enterprise embracing the challenges of digital transformation. By utilizing plusmeta software and expertise, Knick has explored how iiRDS and AI can be leveraged to optimize content delivery and facilitate the creation of a digital twin. Additionally, the project ensures compliance with VDI 2770 and IDTA Asset Administration Shell (AAS) specifications. The recording of the presentation is available on YouTube.

HELLER: Use iiRDS company-wide – Expanding metadata and data sources sensibly

The iiRDS pilot project of Gebr. Heller Maschinenfabrik GmbH and plusmeta GmbH shows the extension of the iiRDS metadata model in order to manage data in a content delivery portal that cannot be labeled with iiRDS standard metadata and thus to enable a company-wide use of iiRDS. You can find the recording of the German version of the presentation on YouTube.

Endress+Hauser: Wenn der digitale Zwilling die Dokumentation steuert

Wie erstellt man modulare, konfigurationsgenaue Inhalte? Endress+Hauser und parson AG haben hierfür Produktdaten aus SAP und PIM sowie ein iiRDS-basiertes Informationsmodell in einem Knowledge-Graphen verknüpft. Dieser ermittelt automatisch passende Informationseinheiten für das Redaktionssystem, um Inhalte gezielt zur Produktkonfiguration zu erstellen. Der Vortrag stellt das Konzept und die Erfahrungen aus dem iiRDS-Pilotprojekt vor. Die Aufzeichnung des Vortrags finden Sie im YouTube-Kanal des iiRDS-Konsortiums.
