M&M Software at the SPS 2025
M&M Software at SPS 2025
SPS 2025 is over and we can look back on three intense days at the trade fair. This year, we were once again part of the IDTA joint stand.
Our personal highlight: AAS.TwinEngine is going open source
The topic that attracted the most attention was clearly our AAS.TwinEngine. Many visitors were already familiar with it, but the most important news came as a particular surprise:
From January 2026, AAS.TwinEngine will be released as open source on GitHub.
The reactions were positive, especially because the Digital Product Passport will gradually become mandatory from 2027. Many are looking for an uncomplicated introduction to the topic and were pleased to hear that there will be an open solution.
What the open source version will offer:
- Ready-to-use framework
- DPP plugin with clear data structure
- Integrated sample data
- Complete documentation and community
- Ideal for prototypes and initial DPP projects
- Visitors to the stand were able to try out AAS.TwinEngine together with our Product Carbon Footprint demo.
Dr Jens Achenbach: Compliance starts with data – how AAS enables cross-company exchange for DPP
Another highlight was the presentation given by our colleague Dr Jens Achenbach on Tuesday. He showed how AAS actually enables the exchange of data for the Digital Product Passport. The presentation was well attended and many used their lunch break to get a comprehensive explanation of the topic. The discussions continued afterwards.
Our key findings
- Open source is becoming increasingly relevant for many companies.
- The Digital Product Passport is no longer a topic for the future. The first projects are already underway.
- AAS is establishing itself as the standard for the exchange of structured data.
Conclusion
SPS 2025 showed that open and practical solutions are urgently needed. The reactions to the upcoming open source version of AAS.TwinEngine were a clear signal of this. For many, this was exactly the missing piece of the puzzle they needed to really get started with AAS and the DPP.
