The Concept of a Digital Twin Based on the Asset Administration Shell (Aas) Standard With 3d Visualization

The paper presents the integration of digital twins into industrial processes using the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) standard. The research describes the basic concept of implementing the AAS standard for industrial data collection from selected automation devices. The core component of data collection is the AAS server, which serves as a bridge between the real process and data visualization. Real devices synchronize data with the AAS server via an OPC server. Digital twin representations in AAS virtual devices provide data through REST API communication. The visualization of digital twin data from selected devices is demonstrated using an Unreal Engine application. This application offers a wireless connection to the XR device Meta Quest 3 for enhanced interaction with virtual objects.
