Industrial production systems are complex automated systems-of-systems. Especially in case of Industry 4.0
production systems, their design phase relies on parallel cooperative work of engineers coming from several disciplines. This
paper identifies key engineering roles and their interactions in
the design phase. Based on the analysis of shared information
among engineers, this paper contributes to the specification of
an information model of shared common concepts. Such an
information model is useful for designing a central repository
in production system engineering projects as well as a basis for
standardization processes and engineering tool evaluation. The
roles and relevant information are based on lessons learned from
the use case of an Industry 4.0 Testbed environment.
