(130d) Concept of Digital Twin and Digital Thread in the Chemical & Process Industry

Aglave, R., Siemens PLM Software

The
vision of digital twins involves the digital twin of the product, the digital
twin of process performance and the digital twin of operation.

In
the R &D, stages product development and recipe transformation in with
digital models can accelerate innovation. In design & engineering stages,
all the disciplines involved in a plant project can generate a shared data
model –saving valuable time and expenses and at the same time increasing
engineering quality. The digital twin also allows the plant to be simulated
prior to the critical commissioning phase, which ensures a reliable
implementation. The operators can also receive targeted training before the
system is commissioned. The digital twin of the operation significantly increases
the reliability and availability of your plant by continuously monitoring your
mechanical assets using IIoT.

The
realization of this needs cross-organization collaboration. Realization of the
concept needs various tools, software, hardware and collaboration platforms to
work together. This talk with explore those possibilities and readiness.
