FA³ST Registry version 1.0 released and update FA³ST Service to version 1.1

Karlsruhe /

* Fraunhofer IOSB releases version 1.0 of the FA³ST Registry. The software provides a registry for digital twins based on the asset administration shell specification. The implementation for digital twins, FA³ST Service, has been updated to version 1.1.

* With FA³ST (Fraunhofer Advanced Asset Administration Shell Tools) you can create and manage digital twins for applications in the context of Industrie 4.0 in a matter of seconds.

* Like the FA³ST Service, the FA³ST Registry is free of charge, open source and, thanks to its open architecture, easy to expand and configure.

We hereby announce the release of FA³ST Registry v1.0. This release contains a registry for asset administration shells and submodels according to v3.0 of the asset administration shell specification, which is created and maintained by the Industrial Digital Twin Association (IDTA).

A registry stores relevant information about asset administration shells and submodels, e.g. where and how they can be found. In conjunction with the new FA³ST Service v1.1, all asset administration shells and submodels can be stored in the registry when the service is started. In addition, changes are continuously and directly communicated to the registry. By combining the two tools, complex use cases can be realized, such as the circular economy use case in the Factory-X lighthouse project.

FA³ST Registry is a free and open source software that can be used to complement the FA³ST service. The most important features are

  • FA³ST Registry is free of charge and open source (Apache 2.0 license).
  • The open architecture enables simple expandability and configurability.
  • Asset synchronization: FA³ST Service can be connected to the registry without having to write or compile code.
  • FA³ST Registry can be used via command line, Docker container or as an embedded library.

Version 1.1 of the FA³ST service also includes further improvements:

  • SSL encryption can be deactivated for test purposes.
  • AAS operations can be implemented directly in LambdaOperationProviders.
  • Support for multiple connections to the asset on an MQTT topic.
  • Error corrections
