In manufacturing, many use cases of Industrie 4.0
require vendor-neutral and machine-interpretable infor-
mation models to describe, implement and execute resource
functions. Such models have been researched under the
terms capabilities and skills. Standardization of such models
is required, but currently not available. This paper presents
a reference model developed jointly by members of various
organizations in a working group of the Plattform Industrie
4.0. This model covers definitions of most important aspects
of capabilities and skills. It can be seen as a basis for further
standardization efforts.
For the use of the CSS model, workflows are needed to describe, assign and derive capabilities. This contribution provides a Capability Determining method that encompasses the three underlying technology-independent methods to guide stakeholders in describing, assigning and deriving capabilities for manufacturing. The first underlying method, Describing Capabilities, describes a workflow for the formal semantic description of capabilities. The workflow for assigning capabilities to a production resource is explained using the second method Assigning Capability. In the last workflow, capabilities are derived from production specification or a process description using the method Deriving Capability.
