In Production Systems Engineering (PSE), domain
experts aim at reusing production processes implemented as
Industry 4.0 assets and software. However, the knowledge on
reusable assets is often scattered on multi-disciplinary engineering artifacts and domain experts, making it hard to find suitable
reusable assets and map them to requirements. In this paper,
we (i) identify challenges and requirements for reuse in PSE
based on a domain analysis; (ii) introduce the Industry 4.0 Asset
Network (I4AN) that integrates multi-disciplinary dependencies
between the assets and exposes recurring patterns; and (iii)
present four patterns for reuse in PSE that aim at improving
reuse efficiency and risk. We evaluate the I4AN with reuse
scenarios in a feasibility study. The study results indicate that the
I4AN model satisfies the elicited requirements and enables PSE
domain experts to identify patterns for reuse in their contexts.
