uniqueProduct

UniqueProduct messages are sent whenever a unique product was produced or modified.

Topic


ia/<customerID>/<location>/<AssetID>/uniqueProduct


ia.<customerID>.<location>.<AssetID>.uniqueProduct

Usage

A message is sent here each time a product has been produced or modified. A modification can take place, for example, due to a downstream quality control.

There are two cases of when to send a message under the uniqueProduct topic:

  • The exact product doesn’t already have a UID (-> This is the case, if it has not been produced at an asset incorporated in the digital shadow). Specify a space holder asset = “storage” in the MQTT message for the uniqueProduct topic.
  • The product was produced at the current asset (it is now different from before, e.g. after machining or after something was screwed in). The newly produced product is always the “child” of the process. Products it was made out of are called the “parents”.
