Controle Cinemático de Sincronização para as Contrapartes do Gêmeo Digital Através do Novo Método SyncLMKD

Abstract

A digital twin can be seen as "the digital representation of a specific physical product, in the form of computer models, identified by their serial numbers, at a specific time and with sufficient fidelity to simulate the corresponding physical product", as described by Singh and Willcox (2018). In this way, the digital twin can have different levels of fidelity that represent the physical model in its life cycle and specific moment. In this paper, a new method for synchronizing the counterparts of the digital twin is developed, assigning sufficient fidelity levels to the demands of dynamic flexibility required by Industry 4.0. Experiments with the proposed approach were performed on a virtual simulation platform that supports the new SyncLMKD method. The obtained results verified that the SyncLMKD method is able both to track and measure the synchronization efficiency and to adjust the synchronization for the virtual and physical counterparts, for digital twin applications.
