Abstract / scope
The content of this document is divided into two parts.
— This document analyses the overall configuration of an industrial digital twin system, and proposes a three-elements architecture, focusing on the twinning interface between the physical twin (PTw) and industrial digital twin (iDTw).
— The characteristics, and the visualization elements and visualization fidelity of iDTw are analysed.
This document:
a) analyses the twinning interface between the PTw and iDTw;
b) proposes a three-elements architecture;
c) analyses the visualization element and its fidelity, which is a key component of the interface among the three-elements architecture;
d) analyses the elements that constitute an iDTw system to understand the unique properties of iDTw;
e) explores the differentiation from cyber physical systems (CPS) or augmented reality (AR), which are similar to existing concepts of iDTw.
This document excludes:
— applications of iDTw;
— implementation of iDTw.
