FA³ST Service

The Fraunhofer Advanced Asset Administration Shell Tools (FA³ST) Service enables you to create digital twins based on the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) specification with ease. It is an implementation of the re-active or type 2 AAS, which means you can load existing AAS models and interact with them via API. The features of FA³ST Service include

• free & open-source (Apache 2.0 license)
• native Java implementation
• easily extendable & configurable
• supports synchronization of the digital twins with existing assets using different protocols
• can be used as CLI, docker container, or embedded library

Tip

For more details on FA³ST Service see the 📘 full documenation.

Implemented AAS Specifications

• AAS Part 1: Metamodel v3.0 Specification
• AAS Part 2: API v3.0.1 Specification, OpenAPI

Usage

Important

At the moment there is no security specification available for the AAS. Therefore FA³ST Service does not implement any security mechanisms. They will be implemented as soon as a security specification is available. We strongly recommend to be careful when using external AAS models or submodels.
