ARENA2036 is a joint research campus incorporating production assets from different industrial and academic partners. To allow the implementation of cross-partner value streams and workflows, a common middleware for online date exchange and asset operation is mandatory. We implemented a generic and lightweight middleware which follows the concept of Asset Administration Shells as specified by the Platform I4.0. However, to allow for easy adaption and setup by a diverse range of partners we simplified modeling requirements and complexity of the actual data exchange. The result is a specification for the assets’ self-descriptions in form of submodels (For many people, the term “submodel" implies the existence of a “model", which does not exist here. In order to have a consistent terminology with the standard of the Platform I4.0, we will use the term “submodel" here. For the future, we propose the term “aspect model" instead.) and a convention on how to map this onto MQTT. Additionally, we integrated means for online discovery and state monitoring of all connected assets.
