E-book Twin-Control : A Digital Twin Approach to Improve Machine Tools Lifecycle
This book presents developments, research results and industrial applications thatwere achieved in the European Twin-Control project. This book serves as the publicreport of the project and lies within the dissemination activities that have beencarried out by project partners in the last three years.Twin-Control project has developed ICT applications in thefield of machine toolindustry. Project developments have been split into two main workflows. Firstly,different simulation models were developed with the aim to create a digital twinof the machine tool. Secondly, a data monitoring and management infrastructurewere defined and implemented in several use cases (industrial and research envi-ronments). These two workflows have, then, been combined to implementmodel-based control features in the form of cyber-physical systems. One of thehighlights of Twin-Control project is the complete industrial validation stage,consisting in two scenarios from the most demanding industrials sectors: aerospaceand automotive.The structure of this book is based on the one applied in Twin-Control project.The book is separated intofive main parts that are composed of several chapters.Each chapter deals with an independent feature developed in the project and beginswith an abstract which briefly describes its contents. At the end of each chapter, theconclusions and future steps related to the presented feature are presented. Finally,related references are presented to allow further study of the subjects.Part I provides a technical introduction to the project contents. Firstly, astate-of-the-art related to ICT applications in machine tool industry is presented.Secondly, the general approach followed in Twin-Control project is presented,including the defined architecture and basic features.Part II deals with different simulation models developed in the project towardscreation of a complete digital twin of a machine tool. Different chapters describemodels linked with machine tool dynamics, machining process models, energyefficiency and end of life of critical components.Part III presents the activities done in thefield of machine tool and processmonitoring and the management of this data. Firstly, the monitoring infrastructuredesigned and implemented in a total of 12 machine use cases is presented. This infrastructure basically consists of a local monitoring system that uploads data to acloud-based data management platform where data is managed atfleet level.Secondly, two different chapters dealing with the application of energy monitoringcapabilities are presented.Part IV deals with the integration of different features developed in the previoustwo parts. Firstly, a state-of-the-art model of the machine tool that integratescomplete machine tool dynamics and machining process is presented. Secondly,different model-based control actions developed in the project with the aim ofimproving the control of the machining processes are presented. This model-basedcontrol features include process monitoring, energy monitoring, collision avoid-ance. The third chapter presents thefleet-wide proactive maintenance platformdeveloped in Twin-Control. The part is closed with the presentation of machiningprocess-related visualization features to enhance users experience.
