Digital Twin based Simulation

Objective

Digital Twin to support de/remanufacturing operators to adapt their processing strategy depending on the conditions of their system and the conditions of the return post-use products.

Methodology

Validation of the production plan based on the DT-enabled awareness of the complex system interaction and actual shopfloor status.
What-if analysis to evaluate different optimization and reconfiguration scenario.

Outputs

Production planning / scheduler validation:
● Validation of the scheduler output (production plan) based on a more detailed awareness of the production process status that can take into consideration the actual shopfloor status.
● Pre-emptive evaluation of the probability to meet the expected delivery date.
Design and reconfiguration
● Support for the detection of critical bottlenecks, also in planned/simulated workload.
● Evaluation of different scenario (how the introduction of a parallelization or change of process may affect the overall plant performance).
