“each physical device will have its cyber part as a digital representation of the real device, culminating in the ‘Digital Twin’.” This formulation misses the point that many of the cyber parts are there to maintain and operate control functions not to digitally represent a component, sub-...
Remanufacturing is widely recognised as a key contributor to the circular economy (CE) as it extends the in-use life of products, but its synergy with Industry 4.0 (I4.0) has received little attention when compared to manufacturing. An agglomeration of I
product, process, human, or system. It accurately copies the entity being modelled by capturing information in real time, or near real time, from the entity, through embedded sensors and the Internet-of-Things. Many applications of digital twins in the manufacturing industry have been investigated...
Central to the digital twin is the virtual representation, which may include mechanistic and/or statistical models that simulate human physiological phenomena. This virtual representation is tightly coupled with the physical counterpart – i.e., the body and its physiological systems – through continuou...
The functional breakdown structure for this project consisted of measuring key parameters related to the belt overlap position of one pipe conveyor and comprised the following sub-functions: data acquisition, wireless transmission, data processing and storage, model fine-tuning, cloud computing, and huma...
