Order the inventory data
Map nameplate and documentation in suitable submodels.
Product data are scattered.
Your applications need context.
Transfer inventory and operating data into structured asset administration shells with suitable access rights.
Product information, documentation and current measured values often sit in different systems. Without a shared description, partners and applications have to establish these relationships again and again.
IQstruct Engineering delivers AAS servers, their set-up, submodels and ongoing operation. Existing information from PIM, PLM and databases is assigned and described semantically. Aurora can add dynamic data from connected sources. User rights limit access to content and functions.
Start now at no cost
In a free first conversation we clarify which properties and documents exist, which obligation applies to your product group and which submodels carry the start.
Scope of services
Assign the sources
Describe interfaces and link data sources with the asset.
Integrate the measured values
Provide measured values and product data together.
One shared description for every asset
IQstruct Engineering delivers AAS servers, their set-up, submodels and ongoing operation.
Existing information from PIM, PLM and databases is assigned and described semantically. Aurora adds dynamic data from connected industrial sources and writes them into the asset administration shell.
Concept descriptions define how properties are to be understood technically. Applications and partners thus use the same information consistently. The technical meaning and the release of existing data are agreed with the customer, and user rights limit access to content and functions.
Asset administration shell
Product data, documents and measured values in one structure
Submodels organise the product information, documents and interfaces of an asset.
Approach in the project
Ai1
Record static and dynamic sources
PLM and PIM documents and production data flow into one shared source concept.
Ai2
Model asset administration shells
Submodels and data structures are set up on an AAS server.
Ai3
Configure Aurora
Adapters and data flow are set up in Aurora without programming.
Ai4
Use the digital product passport
Product information, documents and assigned production data appear in one view.
Submodels in use
Digital Nameplate
The digital nameplate with the master data of the asset.
Handover Documentation
The handover documentation in structured form.
Asset Interface Description
The description of the interfaces through which an asset delivers data.
Asset Interface Mapping Configuration
The assignment of the interfaces to the data structure of the asset administration shell.
Asset administration shells with our own middleware
Static data come from PIM, PLM and databases, dynamic data come from the plant via Aurora.

Research
Asset administration shells in the research project Fluid 4.0
IQstruct Engineering is a consortium partner in the research project Fluid 4.0.
The project investigates the structured exchange of information in fluid power technology via asset administration shells and a shared data space. In the research project HYRESS, IQstruct Engineering also captures production data and documents in asset administration shells on an AAS server it operates itself.
Frequently asked questions
We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.
Does an AAS server alone meet all product passport requirements?
The requirements of a digital product passport are assigned per product and project. The AAS server is one building block for this.
Who defines the meaning of the data?
Concept descriptions map the semantics. We define the customer-specific meaning together with you and have it released.
Does IQstruct Engineering also operate the servers?
Yes. IQstruct Engineering sets up the servers at the customer's site, operates them and provides support during operation.
Further industry solutions
Every industry has its particularities. That calls for a reliable partner who knows the requirements and delivers suitable solutions.
- Special purpose machineryEvery machine comes about once, and its control code comes about with it.
- Electronics and semiconductorsA test bench measures in the microsecond range, and the piece count leaves no room for manual work.
- Woodworking and furnitureWood is a grown material, and its fault images are hard to describe as a fixed rule.
