Find out more about the "digital twins" project, one of the nine major Evolutive Learning Factory projects.
PERFECTING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES THROUGH DIGITAL TWINS
Ensuring total control over industrial innovation
The use of digital twins in industry is becoming increasingly widespread, particularly in the design, production, maintenance, and recycling phases. These digital tools are used for the design, adaptation, analysis, prediction, and optimization of processes and the management of industrial activities. They promote the emergence of assistance devices for production and maintenance operations.
In addition, they play a crucial role in training operators in new processes and practices using immersive and interactive technologies.
This progress is based on four pillars that integrate models and reality:
- digital representation: generally in 3D, it provides an accurate visualization of the object being studied, merging data to create a complete image.
- Integration of physical or data-based models via Artificial Intelligence: this integration makes it possible to realistically simulate the behavior of the digital twin by bringing the model closer to physical reality.
- user interactivity: users interact with models in an immersive environment, bringing the virtual world closer to the real experience.
- Connectivity: ensuring synchronization between the digital twin and the physical twin, this connectivity is adjusted in frequency and precision as needed, reinforcing consistency between the model and reality.
How?
This five-year project, involving all eight campuses, offers remarkable diversity that is unmatched in the academic world in terms of methods and tools for design, production, and quality control. Each campus has developed a multi-year schedule for the gradual development of digital twins corresponding to various real-world components and equipment.
