European H2020 Project “IoTDigitalTwin”
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge
- Develop a flexible and scalable digital twin model that allows validation of new production scenarios without altering the existing manufacturing process.
- Make more reliable decisions based on real-time, accurate data, significantly improving the success rate of new investments.
- Implement a platform that can be quickly replicated across other production sites and sectors, enabling rapid and simple functionality expansion according to process needs, with a fast return on investment.
- Explore the capabilities of technologies based on the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Advanced Analytics, and Big Data.
Solution
- Through the Legato Sapient MES system, all relevant real-time data for the Digital Twin is provided, such as machine status, order information, asset positioning, and process values. Current data is collected in real time via a gateway and displayed through Legato Sapient’s web front-end.
- Implementation of the IoT4DigitalTwin platform and virtualization of the production process.
- Reporting module with customized reports and real-time charts.
Results
Thanks to the Digital Twin project implemented by Geprom, the following benefits were achieved:
- Increased efficiency and productivity of various operations
- Reduction in operational costs
- Real-time aggregation and display of production data
- Ability to monitor both historical and current process behavior
- Real-time operator positioning
- Real-time monitoring of the production process
- Process virtualization
- Decision-making without production stoppages
- Ability to test changes without altering the physical plant
- Optimization of logistics and production parameters
- Reduction in paper documentation usage
- Improved KPI calculation and real-time reporting
- Continuous improvement of the production process
TESTIMONIal
“The IoT4DigitalTwin project, developed in collaboration with Geprom and Gefasoft, has enabled us to incorporate the most advanced Industry 4.0 technologies. It is already bearing fruit and represents a major step forward in boosting our competitiveness and efficiency.”
