The Asset Administration Shell. One structure for all your asset data.
Industrial digitalisation runs on data, but data only creates value once it is uniformly structured, reliably available and understandable across systems. The AAS is the standardised digital representation of a product, a machine, a component, a piece of software or a complete production process.
CORENATE is where you create, manage and provide these Asset Administration Shells.
Greater transparency across the entire lifecycle
The Digital Twin makes your data usable across system and site boundaries. Instead of managing machine, production, and product data in isolation, a consistent digital representation of your assets and products is gradually created, structured according to the Asset Administration Shell.
The digital representation grows with the asset. Design data, operating values, and service history stay connected over its entire lifecycle, so information from commissioning is still available years later during maintenance, modernization, or reporting.
Typical areas of application include:
-
predictive and condition-based maintenance
-
cross-site plant monitoring
-
energy and resource management
-
centralized provision of technical product information
-
support for current compliance requirements
-
provision of data for the Digital Product Passport
Three Phases to a Digital Twin
We approach the Digital Twin incrementally, starting where the benefit is clearest and expanding from there.
Each phase builds on the results of the previous one:
Analysis and Design
We analyze your machines, sensors, data sources, and existing IT infrastructure.
Based on this analysis, we develop the target architecture, define the required data model, and create a prioritized rollout plan. The result is a clear picture of where to start and what value each step delivers.
Pilot and Integration
We then set up the IoT data pipeline, create the Digital Twin in CORENATE, and integrate the necessary source systems.
A real-time dashboard provides transparency into statuses, key metrics, and deviations, supporting your departments in making operational decisions.
Scaling and Further Development
Following a successful pilot, we gradually roll out the solution to additional machines, product groups, facilities, and locations.
Data models, interfaces, and processes are standardized and further developed into a company-wide product data infrastructure.
From Machine Transparency to an Integrated Product Data Infrastructure
The consistent consolidation of your asset, production, and product data results in a complete digital twin. CORENATE serves as the central data infrastructure for this, linking operational use cases with current compliance requirements.
Asset identity, type plate, technical data, and handover documentation are held together in one structured record, reachable through a single link or QR code directly at the machine. Information stays current instead of being copied into separate files. Service, engineering, and quality access the same source, and reporting obligations can be served from data that already exists.
Benefits for You
The benefits arise at different levels: in the daily work of your specialist departments, in the comparability between locations, and in the requirements that will apply to product data in the coming years.
-
Consistent and structured database
-
Improved maintenance and operational planning
-
Transparency regarding machines, systems, and products
-
Comparability across locations
-
Early detection of deviations
-
Optimized energy and resource management
-
Interoperability through IDTA and Asset Administration Shell
-
Scalable foundation for compliance and the Digital Product Passport
Your Result
You receive not just a standard-compliant shell, but asset information that is genuinely usable: modeled according to IDTA submodels, connected to your existing systems, and available beyond your own company boundaries.
From the initial analysis through the pilot to company-wide rollout, we support you across data modeling, integration, and operation.
