Digital Twin Testbed for Process Manufacturing
Abstract
This project had, at its core, a desire to implement and see the benefits of digital twin and mobile worker technologies. This project set out to accomplish this by upgrading existing industry practices, standards and systems to digital industry 4.0 level where they exist (historians, standard operational procedures, process control systems, etc.) and to insert digitalization where technology gaps exist (mobility, breaking down data silos, digital twinning, AI, AR, etc.). Using a simplified model such as a process test bed skid allowed for an interesting and visual way of showing what is available in the above-mentioned ways for the digital transformation of continuous process manufacturing. DMC, in collaboration with Siemens, developed a physical skid and a virtual software layer specially fitted and tailored to MxD's space and purpose to address the requirements set by RFP MxD-19-04. This system was based on similar work performed by Siemens at Process Automation World in Karlsruhe, Germany. The use cases addressed by this project were answered with a full stack of hardware and software from the Siemens product catalog mated to a custom designed tank system.
