Digital Twin – Proof of Concept

Miniaturization and price decline enable the integration of information, communication and sensor technologies into virtually any product. Products become able to sense their own state as well as the state of their environment. Paired with the ability to process and communicate this data allows for the creation of digital twins. The digital twin is a comprehensive digital representation of an individual product that will play an integral role in a fully digitalized product life cycle. To prove the digital twin concept a cyber-physical bending beam test bench was developed at DiK research lab.
