On January 9, 2025, the Instrumentation Technology and Economy Institute (ITEI) and the ECLASS Association held an online seminar on the “Product Digital Passport.”
At the seminar, representatives from ECLASS presented the latest progress in the EU’s efforts to advance legislation and standards for product digital passports, as well as the ECLASS solutions for implementing these passports. Representatives from ITEI reported on China’s progress in areas such as industrial instrumentation identification and data resources, the integration and interoperability information model standards for smart instruments, data dictionaries, and asset administration shell (AAS) standards. The two sides engaged in extensive discussions on product digital passports (DPP), manufacturing data spaces, AAS, public data dictionaries (CDD), information models, industrial identification, and more. They also explored the development of international standards such as ECLASS master data, DPP, CDD, and related international organizations’ standards, along with their relationship to Germany’s “Manufacturing-X” initiative.
In December 2021, ITEI and ECLASS signed a strategic cooperation agreement to jointly build a digital technology verification system to validate and showcase how ECLASS master data, AAS, CDD, and other technologies can enable data sharing, semantic interoperability, and machine readability in industrial scenarios. This seminar further clarified the concepts, technical standard foundations, tool software status, and application development trends of DPP, AAS, and manufacturing data spaces. Both parties hope to contribute more wisdom and technological solutions through practical cooperation to promote the global digital transformation of industry and the deep development of intelligent manufacturing.
