In Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS) engineering, domain experts design Product-Process-Resource (PPR)
assets, defined in shared engineering artifacts, like system plans
and tool data. Configuration management of assets should provide a consistent integration of these stakeholder views as a basis
for risk and quality management. However, without a suitable
data structure, collecting and analyzing the stakeholder views on
an asset, scattered over changing engineering artifacts, is often
incomplete and time-consuming. In this paper, we introduce the
PPR Asset Directory, a conceptual model based on the standards
Industry 4.0 Asset Administration Shell and the AutomationML
Component, for representing, integrating, and efficiently analyzing (i) multiple stakeholders views in engineering artifacts that
define an asset; (ii) dependencies between stakeholder views on
an asset; and (iii) dependencies between assets. A PPR Asset
Directory for a robot cell in automotive manufacturing shows
the feasibility of efficient configuration management queries.
