This modular architecture <strong>makes the AAS scalable<\/strong> and enables flexible adaptation to different life-cycle phases and use cases.<\/p><p>Submodels are based on the structure of ECLASS blocks and aspects and allow fluid power companies to implement <strong>digital twins that are both standardized and application-specific<\/strong>. The development of the submodels is coordinated by the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA). To ensure interoperability, all submodels must comply with the Industry 4.0 meta model (currently Version 3), which defines the structural rules for their construction. The further development of these semantics is a key step toward fully realizing the potential of digital fluid power.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46e7312 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"
