The #Submodel Template "IDTA 02102 Fire Protection on Railway Vehicles" provides a standardized framework for representing fire protection relevant information for #railway vehicles in accordance with the underlying standards. It supports the consistent digital exchange of fire protection data between suppliers and railway manufacturers and provides a structured basis for safety documentation. Fire protection certificates are essential elements of the safety documentation for railway vehicles. They are based on fire test and assessment reports according to EN 45545-2 and are issued for individual materials or components, or for defined groupings of components. The Submodel Template covers manufacturer-related data, fire protection classification and compliance information, as well as fire-relevant material properties. As part of an Asset Administration Shell (#AAS), the standardized representation enables harmonized data exchange throughout the railway vehicle supply chain. It also supports the efficient maintenance and updating of fire protection information throughout its entire life cycle, providing a consistent digital foundation for the management of safety-relevant data.

Two days, 140 participants, 16 presentations and three hands-on workshops – each offered three times – made this year’s IDTA Tech Days a successful meeting point for the community around the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) in Frankfurt. Across the two days, the programme covered a broad range of topics shaping the AAS ecosystem: from Digital Product Passports (#DPP), regulations and #interoperable data exchange to data spaces, #AI and new developments for the AAS. The workshops provided an opportunity to go beyond presentations and explore practical applications and technical questions hands-on. Just as important was the exchange between participants. Discussions, networking and shared experiences brought together different perspectives from industry, research and technology development. A big thank you to the sponsors M&M Software GmbH and conplement AG, all speakers, workshop hosts and participants for making the #IDTATechDays2026 a full success. We are already looking forward to bringing the community together again at the IDTA Tech Days next year!

The last agenda block of the second day of IDTA Tech Days focused on the role of the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) within industrial data ecosystems – from implementation to data exchange and connected processes. Frank Schnicke (Fraunhofer IESE) looked at how SMEs can implement the AAS in practice with #BaSyx. David C. (Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) | University of Oslo) explored the use of the AAS for data exchange and validation between vendors and engineering contractors. Christian Guenther (conplement AG) focused on how the AAS can connect product data with operational processes and support a continuous digital data chain. Together, the sessions highlighted different perspectives on how AAS-based data can be exchanged, validated and connected across organizations and throughout the industrial lifecycle. #IDTATechDays2026

Today’s agenda of the IDTA Tech Days focuses on practical experience with the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) – from modeling practices to industry-specific applications. Prof. Dr. Michael Hoffmeister (Hochschule Karlsruhe (HKA) / University of Applied Sciences) and Sandeep Rudra (IDTA) shared best modeling practices and lessons learned. Bernd Vojanec (WITTENSTEIN group) presented a AAS Guideline for Mechanical Engineering, while Gerd Schöbel (Bayer) and Carl-Philipp Ding (BASF) looked at applying #Submodels in the process industry. Together, these sessions provided insights into how AAS concepts and specifications can be applied across different industrial contexts. #IDTATechDays2026

We start day two of the IDTA Tech Days in #Frankfurt am Main and look forward to presentations covering topics from the data ecosystem, insights and lessons learned from the industry hands-on workshops and networking. With technical sessions, interactive workshops and discussions, day two offers plenty of opportunities to exchange practical experiences, explore new ideas and connect with the #IDTA community. We are looking forward to the exchange. #IDTATechDays2026

At the #IDTA Tech Days in #Frankfurt am Main, another set of sessions explored how the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) evolved from a standardized way of representing asset information towards connected data ecosystems and new application scenarios. The key focus of one session block was on data #ecosystems and the exchange of data with the AAS. Peter Amon (Siemens) presented how AAS data space concepts can be realised with MX-Port Leo, while Sandeep Rudra (IDTA) introduced the Asset Data Exchange Hub (#ADX Hub) and its approach to sharing AAS data across organisations. Complementing these perspectives, Prof. NamHyun Yoo (경남대학교) discussed the realization of data spaces in Korea and the extension of AAS ontologies. The programme also looked at emerging technologies and the next stages of the AAS ecosystem. Dr. Thiago Weber Martins (SAP) explored #AI and MCP capabilities in the AAS, while Thomas Kuhn (Fraunhofer IESE) and Dr. Christian Mosch (IDTA ) shared insights from the #DAVID project and their implications for the AAS ecosystem. In the last presentation, Juilee Tikekar (IDTA) outlined the AAS Technology Roadmap 2027, providing an outlook on upcoming developments and topics for the AAS community. We look forward to the sessions on the second IDTA Tech Days. #IDTATechDays2026

At the IDTA Tech Days in Frankfurt am Main, the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS) community comes together for two days of knowledge sharing, hands-on experience and networking. Among the topics on the agenda are the role of the AAS as a future-proof standard for industry and its relevance for emerging regulatory requirements. Karsten Schneider (Siemens) discussed the AAS as a foundation for interoperable industrial data, while Josepha Anna Pfeiffer (Bosch) focused on Product Digital Twins and lifecycle data for Product Passports and other regulations. The second session looked specifically at the Digital Product Passport (#DPP). Thomas Knothe (Fraunhofer IPK) provided insights into ESPR and Digital Product Passport requirements in #JTC24. Building on this regulatory perspective, Dr. Birgit Boss (Bosch) and Sebastian Käbisch (Siemens) showed how EU Digital Passports can be implemented using the AAS. Together, these presentations connected #standardization, regulatory requirements and practical implementation and provided insights into how the AAS can support digital product data throughout the lifecycle. We look forward to the following presentations. #IDTATechDays2026 #IDTA

The IFC-AAS Connector for Building Equipment is being developed to establish a link between Building Information Modeling (#IFC) and the Asset Administration Shell (#AAS). A recent workshop brought together experts from IDTA, buildingSMART Deutschland, academia and industry partners to further develop the connector and define the scope for Version 1.0. The objective is to connect information from building models with #standardized digital product information and make it accessible across different stages of the asset lifecycle. This creates a link between information generated during planning and construction and information needed later for operation, maintenance and other lifecycle activities. The workshop resulted in a clear focus for Version 1.0 with a minimal connector model containing only the information required to establish the IFC-AAS linkage. Use cases will be developed in parallel. The work illustrates how the AAS can be applied to connect structured asset information across the building lifecycle while building on established standards such as IFC. We look forward to the next steps and further development. See also the use case “Standardized linking of building, asset and operational data in the operational phase” to find out how IFC-based building information and AAS-based asset descriptions are already linked: https://lnkd.in/eTH4SYpj
