2 – Challenge, Value & Description
Challenge
Nowadays information is stored in enterprise information silos. Companies use multiple software programs to create and store product, production and asset information. We call this the Spaghetti of systems and information.
Supply chain partners receive and deliver Product/Asset information out of this plate of Spaghetti by mail or electronically by using EDI or XML messages.
There is no single point of thought because there is also product information shared by mail or Excel.
Value
Creating and updating a digital twin at each step in the creation of the product is one of the first steps to untangle this spaghetti knot. The Digital Twin (AAS) is the single point if through where all the product information is stored. Stakeholders of the product will have access to all kinds of product information based on their role in the life cycle face of the product. For example the Carbon Footprint information which is created in each step in the process of creating, distribution, use and maintenance of the product of asset must be available to everybody who is part in the industry 4.0 hierarchy.
The creator of the product data must also be the owner of this data. But the owner of the data has the obligation to make this data available for other stakeholders.
Description
The data exchange process between stakeholders is based on the procedure steps of “Order-to-cash” or “Service-to-cash” Process.
In the next phase we will use two dataspaces to exchange information form buyer to supplier or from asset owner to asset user.

Performance
For the product which is part of the order process we created also an Aas model with submodels.
TNO is building an order portal to display the SCSn order information but also the Aas order information and the AAS product infomeation which is storred now in the TNO/SCSN dataspace.
The next step is to store the AAS product information in the Sovity dataspace and. Based on the SCSN party identification a party (Buyer and Supplier) can have access to the order and the product information in the order portal which is platform independent
