Antrieb 4.0

The goal of the research project “Antrieb 4.0” is to build a foundation for services and marketplace-applications across participants in the value chain of drive system applications utilising “Industrie 4.0” functionalities. To achieve this, plug and play capabilities as well as manufacturer-neutral interoperability of drive systems are investigated, implemented, and tested on a demonstrator plattform utilizing commercial drive systems, cloud data spaces as well as service applications. Its basic structure is shown in Figure 1. The technical requirements are derived based on market relevant usecases.

Focus of our Institute

The research activity of our institute within this project is predominantly focused on the drive system and the Edge-layer (See Fig. 1) and the construction of the drive-system hardware of the demonstrator. The demonstrator consists of distributed drive trains with commercial, as well as self-developed drive systems. According to the goals of the project communication with the drive systems will be implemented utilizing asset administration shells (AAS) via OPC UA in addition to ECLASS descriptors.

Industry 4.0 aims to develop advanced smart drive systems that are optimized for service and marketplace applications, leveraging cloud analytics and OPC-UA to facilitate seamless automation and maintenance. In his current role within this project, Shafy Musthafa is responsible for the design and development of the hardware for a commercial drive system that can integrates Industry 4.0 capabilities.
