Digital Twin Application for Production Optimization
Sumin Jeon, S. Schuesslbauer
Abstract
This paper is focused on the digital twin solution to validate the performance optimization of production lines. We propose three steps to approach the digital twin for production lines. As the first step, a simulation model is created to imitate real world behavior. After that, automation engineering is applied to communicate between real world and virtual model. A programmable logic controller (PLC) code is embedded as a communication language. Digital twin realization is shown by integration of simulation and automation. A case study presents how to bring practical benefits by applying the digital twin solution in production line virtual commissioning.
