0:DefaultInstanceBrowseName

2:Identification

The default BrowseName for instances of the type.

2: ProductInstanceUri  is a globally unique resource identifier provided by the manufacturer.

Name is the name of the joining system. It can also be the standard browse name of the instance of JoiningSystemType.

IntegratorName is the name of the system integrator.

Description is the description of the system which could be written by the customer to identify the system. It could be the purpose of the system in the assembly line.

Note: Although there is a description attribute at the node level in OPC UA, Description property was added at the same level as the 2:Identification node for consistency.

JoiningTechnology is a human readable text to identify the joining technology of the joining system.

2:Manufacturer provides a human-readable, localized name of the joining system manufacturer.

2:ManufacturerUri provides a unique identifier for this company. This identifier should be a fully qualified domain name; however, it may be a GUID or similar construct that ensures global uniqueness.

2:Model provides the type of the joining system. Examples: Fixtured System, Handheld System, etc.

SystemId is the system integrator specific identifier for the system. It represents a reference to the manufacturer ERP system.

4:Location is the location of the given system in the given plant or factory in text format.
