SAVE TIME AND MONEY: INSTANT REMOTE ACCESS TO ASSET ADMINISTRATION SHELLS

Picture this: Electricians or technicians in the field, standing before a system. They need additional details about a specific component but this documentation is not available on-site. They have two choices: Either they make the time-consuming return journey to the office to look up the required information themselves, or they contact a colleague and ask them to search through the printed documentation for the details. Neither option is time or money well-spent.

The digital nameplate (according to IEC 61406) together with the asset administration shell provide a direct route to the information required. Access simply requires an explosion-protected smartphone or tablet and a mobile Internet connection: Simply scan the QR code and access all the product details in the cloud straight away.

If a direct connection is not possible, the R. STAHL platform offers the option for remote access. To do this, system technicians simply need to forward the link, the product serial number and the associated pin to their colleagues in the office. This information is positioned so that it is easily legible directly in the nameplate next to the QR code. Once these colleagues in the office have entered the information in the R. STAHL platform, they can immediately retrieve all the details in the asset administration shell remotely and send them back to the field. This simple information flow saves both time and money.
