However, the practical deployment of Edge AI is hindered by the lack of standardized, asset-centric integration across heterogeneous devices. This study presents an Asset Administration Shell (AAS)-based Edge AI framework that enables interoperable and coordinated operation among Edge devices through standardized digital asset representations and OPC UA-based communication. In the proposed framework, each Edge device is represented as an AAS-compliant digital assets, enabling both direct inter-edge coordination and centralized asset management. To demonstrate the feasibility of the framework, a functional prototype was implemented consisting of a Raspberry Pi-based Vision Inspector, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), and an AAS-based monitoring server. Vision-based fault detection is performed directly at the Edge and transmitted in real time to the AMR and the AAS Server, enabling event-driven autonomous response and system-level monitoring. Experimental results show that real-time fault detection and response can be achieved on resource-constrained edge devices while maintaining standardized, asset-level information exchange and interoperability across heterogeneous assets. These results indicate that the AAS-based Edge AI framework provides a practical and scalable foundation for asset-centric autonomous manufacturing systems requiring both real-time operational intelligence and systematic asset management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems14020205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,16]],"date-time":"2026-02-16T11:11:28Z","timestamp":1771240288000},"page":"205","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Edge AI System Framework Based on the Asset Administration Shell Standard"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Minjong","family":"Shin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Big Data Analytics, Kyung Hee University, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si 17104, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4850-6284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae-Yoon","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Big Data Analytics, Kyung Hee University, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si 17104, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering, Kyung Hee University, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si 17104, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1109\/MC.2017.9","article-title":"The emergence of edge computing","volume":"50","author":"Satyanarayanan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Computer"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"20","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mfglet.2018.09.002","article-title":"Industrial Artificial Intelligence for industry 4.0-based manufacturing systems","volume":"18","author":"Lee","year":"2018","journal-title":"Manuf.
