White Paper
Leveraging MongoDB to Create Asset Administration Shells and Enable Industry 4.0
This white paper explains how MongoDB can support Asset Administration Shells (AAS) and standardized digital twins for Industry 4.0 manufacturing. Smart factories generate large volumes of heterogeneous IIoT data, requiring interoperable, flexible, and scalable models that connect machines, products, workers, systems, and processes. The paper introduces RAMI 4.0 and AAS concepts before demonstrating their implementation through MongoDB’s Smart Factory testbed. A robot is modeled with an AAS to monitor overall equipment effectiveness, including availability, performance, and quality. MongoDB Atlas supports data modeling, Triggers, aggregation, APIs, drivers, and automated updates, while Atlas Charts provides real-time visualization without separate ETL. The approach covers the IIoT data lif
