Abstract

As Industry 4.0 technology is still evolving, research and implementation gaps due to issues such as costs, security, and lack of domain expertise for enabling Digital Twins and supportive technology need to be bridged. This paper proposes a practical framework for enabling the connection between an Internet of Things platform and Digital Twin-compliant software for constructing a digital twin based on the ISO 23247 standard. The simulation software provides cognitive support for the user who is immersed in the Digital Twin through Virtual Reality. Connectivity with the Internet of Things platform facilitates real-time bi-directional communication, collaboration, monitoring, and assistance. An adopted research methodology with a foundation in empirical studies was used to support and validate the presented use case based on an assembly line for a lab-scale drone factory. The results showcase a Digital Twin with Virtual Reality functions of a real-world use case implemented based on ISO 23347.
