How to develop a common, company wide model?

METHOD

Introducing AutomationML in a heterogeneous software tool landscape – a success story | 24.10.2018 7

Analysis of software tools

Identification of data needed to be exchanged

Development of proposals for mapping data in a tool neutral and

standardized manner

Verification of the model by building up examplesVerification

Discussion

and

integration

Proposal

Discussion and validation of proposals

Assessment of suitability and conformity to the common, company

wide model

Integration into the model

Assessment of impact on software tools

Analysis

Common Model

All aspects of a production line needs to be covered by the model
