Mass customization approach requires low-volume, high-mix production schemes, leading to the creation and industrial uptake of highly flexible and modular production lines capable of processing a wide range of products. Towards that end, flexibility of reconfiguration and responsiveness of production plants needs to be increased. Digital technologies can make a significant contribution in making production systems more flexible for modular production. Reconfigurability and interoperability between automated industrial systems and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) can be achieved by implementing a Digital Twin based on Asset Administration Shell (AAS) and formal definitions found in the I4.0, IIoT and IDTA standards. The AAS modelling containing a machine-readable, semantically unambiguous self-description metamodels needs to be supported by a software infrastructure capable to orchestrate the different assets. This paper presents an implementation of AAS modelling based on the relation of the main production assets -Product, Process and Resources (PPR model)-allowing the dynamic creation of process chains and reconfigurations, as well as up-to-date virtual representation of the Product by deploying a Digital Thread able to trace and orchestrate the data generated along the product lifecycle.
