MaSiMO – Digital Product Passport and Autonomous Event Management of Industry 4.0 Components with Proactive AAS in Data-Driven Aviation Maintenance and Production

This paper presents a preliminary design and implementation of a Digital Product Passport (DPP) within a proactive Asset Administration Shell (AAS) framework. Leveraging the AAS´s standardized structure, the DPP enables consistent data communication across domains and technologies, facilitating seamless information exchange within the IoT ecosystem, such as between aircraft and MRO service providers or between components and manufacturing systems. Drawing from established DPP approaches in other sectors, this paper proposes a general structure for the DPP, designed to be adaptable to specific use cases in aviation. The DPP´s content is flexible and includes a mandatory nameplate, as well as optional elements like a bill of materials, technical specifications, ecological data to meet future EU regulations, and digitized documents such as certifications or CAD files.
