Smart Factory–Future of Production:Real and Virtual

Abstract

Digital twin: The production process will be fully simulated on digital plane. It generates a virtual copy which portrays the total production process. Productions planners can analyze optimize or newly organize the manufacturing process in virtual copy. The information technology is assigned a central role with the manufacture as well as with the management and control of the production plants as also with bringing together and evaluation of machine data or information on energy requirement. Data rising and preparation are always frequently the right time possible. It generates new analysis possibilities as for example for a farsighted maintenance and the consideration for the flow of energy and its use in its entirety.
