The Digital Twin Theory - A New View on a Buzzword

Andreas Deuter, Florian Pethig
The digital twin is supposed to be a major tool for increasing productivity in the age of industrial digitalization. However, there are many heterogeneous definitions about the digital twin. This situation hardly supports the practical digital twin implementation. For this reason, the article introduces a new concept, called the Digital Twin Theory which is a theoretical framework containing several hypotheses about digital twins. The aim of the framework is a better understanding about the digital twin management in practice.

Virtual Twins for Realizing the Digital Factory

Virtual Twins for Realizing the Digital Factory

Notwendige Standards für den Austausch von Simulationsmodellen über Gewerkegrenzen hinweg
Mike Barth, Guido Sand
Simulation is an accepted method within modern engineering processes across different industrial domains. Especially automation engineers use modelling and simulation methods within various project phases to guarantee high quality products that are produced on high quality plants. The necessity of modern simulation technology rises due to the latest trends regarding the virtualization of production plants. This article describes the need for standards within the field of modelling and simulation of mechatronic factories and machines using a digital twin.
