TECHNOLOGICAL BASIS OF “INDUSTRY 4.0”

Methods and approaches for creation of digital twins of cyber-physical systems

  • 1 Dept. of Industrial Automation, University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, Sofia, Bulgaria

Abstract

The idea of creating and using digital twins has been strongly influenced by the process of integrating artificial intelligence methods with big data analytics of data from Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The concept of “Digital Twin” has become increasingly influential and culminating in the field of CPS. The main objective of the study is to define the basic requirements to the digital twins for cyber-physical system and based on the different definitions and components of digital twins, to summarize and analyze approaches, methods and tools used for their development. This analysis should serve as a basis for the development of a methodology for creating digital twins for cyber-physical manufacturing systems in the process industry.
