An integrated environment for modeling and deploying Digital Twins

Der Vortrag findet im OFFIS, Escherweg 2, Raum F 02 statt

The Digital Twin (DT) has been the focus of researchers from academia and industry in the last few
years. It is one of the key enablers of the current and next industrial revolutions, such as Industry 4.0,
Industry 5.0, and Metaverse. The idea of digitalizing real-world “things” can bring many benefits
since it can allow monitoring, simulation, predictions, optimizations and so on. However, representing
real-world systems can be complex, since assets might have several ways of being represented and
several stakeholders with different experiences might be involved. Also, keeping models updated with
the current state of the system can also be challenging.
In this context, this thesis proposes an environment that integrates all these perspectives in a common
language that different stakeholders can use, covering different system levels from the device level up
to process and workflow levels. To support the creating of semantic DT models, a methodology has
been proposed, starting from the identification of the real-world assets, creating the semantic models
and linking external ones, and ending with the deployment of the system. Furthermore, a 4-layers architecture
is presented to help designers to identify the responsibilities of each part of the system. Use cases
related with a simulated industrial plant and in the automotive area have been developed to demonstrate
the proposed approach.
