Abstract

Integrating Industry 4.0 principles with 5G industrial networks and Asset Administration Shell (AAS) has established a new paradigm for more effective and intelligent management. This paper addresses the management of non-public 5G networks using AAS, focusing on optimizing communication configurations. We propose four AAS submodels regarding application requirements, network capabilities, legal constraints, and environmental conditions. A central entity, dubbed the orchestrator, analyzes the application's needs and adjusts the communication network as necessary. This approach enables dynamic and adaptive reconfigurations, improving operational efficiency and productivity. Details of the information models and workflow between the orchestrator and AAS are presented. Initial simulation results show how time slot configuration in a 5G network can be adapted to prioritize uplink transmissions according to application needs.
