In the context of the Robotik Challenge 2026, this DPP Generator extension of Mnestix was developed and hosted:
A workflow is provided to upload a KBL or VEC file, containing a wiring harness engineering model:
The generated basic DPP-AAS can be viewed here:
Mnestix is also utilized for the VWS4LS Marketplace
Mnestix Browser is an open source software designed to simplify the implementation of the Asset Administration Shell. Together with contributions from users and developers, a growing community is working on further development under the leadership of XITASO. Mnestix Browser is the perfect tool to demonstrate the power and potential of AAS (Asset Administration Shells) for the implementation of standardized digital twins. It opens the way for use cases such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP).
The Mnestix Browser enables you to browse through the different AAS Dataspaces. It allows you to visualize Asset Administration Shells and their submodels. It supports the AAS Metamodel and API in version 3.
You configure the endpoint of an AAS repository and browse the different AAS, if a Discovery Service is available, it is also possible to search for AssetIds and visualize the corresponding AAS.
Mnestix AAS Browser is also optimized for mobile view to have a great user experience on mobile phones.
Mnestix can visualize every submodel even if it is not standardized by IDTA. There are some submodels visualized in an extra user-friendly manner. These are:
- Digital Nameplate
- Handover Documentation
- Carbon Footprint
- Hierarchical Structures
- Material Composition
- and more!
Moreover, dedicated visualizations for submodels can be added as a further feature.
