Using Real Time Data Analytics for Operator Assistance and Enrichment of Digital Twins
Birgit Vogel-Heuser, TUM, Germany, Automation Cluster Chair
Digital Twins in automated Production Systems shall support longetivity of such systems as well as adaptability and thereby enable Industry 5.0. The talk will introduce the specific requirements and challenges of Digital Twins for such long living aPS as well as the technologies used. Three main aspects are discussed; enriching model driven engineering with operation data, (De-)Composability of structure and functions to improve reuse including non-functional aspects and evolability of DTs by data analytics and ML during operation. Application examples like the Industry 4.0 MyYoghurt plant, different research projects for construction machines and process plants and the bavarian KI.Fabrik illustrate the approach.
