Abstract

Increasing product variety and the shortening of product lifecycles require a fast and inexpensive reconfiguration of existing manufacturing automation systems. To face this challenge one solution is a Digital Twin, which can be used to reduce the complexity and time of reconfiguration by early detection of design or process sequence errors of the system with a cross domain simulation. For engineering the Digital Twin and systemically synchronizing the data of mechatronic components in the interdisciplinary engineering models of a Digital Twin during the life cycle of manufacturing automation systems, this paper presents a concept for the engineering of a Digital Twin based on model integration in a PLM IT Platform and an Anchor Point method to systematically detect variances of the mechatronic data structure between the digital models and the physical system. The data of a mechatronic component from interdisciplinary domains, developed by the corresponding engineering tools are referred to as anchor points. This paper analyses domain specific challenges in automation software code to develop an assistance system for rule based consistency check and for synchronizing the engineering models of the Digital Twin of the manufacturing automation system based on the Anchor Point method.
