Abstract
The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) provides a standardized digital representation of assets, facilitates interoperability, modularization, and integration across industrial systems based on Industry 4.0 paradigm. To support the description of processes within this framework, a common challenge lies in aligning existing process description approaches with the semantic structure of AAS submodels. This paper proposes a structured methodology for mapping FPD models to AAS Format. By analyzing the conceptual alignment between FPD elements and the semantic constructs of the AAS, the approach bridges the gap between domain-specific process description models and the standardized representation required for Industry 4.0 ecosystems. A mapping methodology is introduced and demonstrated through a representative use case, illustrating the practical benefits for interoperability and digital continuity in process description.
