The Submodel Server, also known as Asset Administration Shell (AAS), is a key concept of the “Plattform Industrie 4.0,” and is maintained by the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA). The AAS is used for the standardized electronic description of an asset. Moreover, the AAS includes a concept of sub models, each of which can characterize the asset by describing its aspects in different domains. In other words, the AAS is a set of API methods and resources that describes how to access digital twin data.
