Project description
Model-based framework for digital twin automation and validation
Advances in digitalisation, information technologies and robotics have led to a significant increase in automation and smart technologies in industrial systems. This increase has also led to a critical need for monitoring, analysis, and diagnosis of these systems for efficiency, correctness, reliability and availability. However, the digital twin solutions most efficient for these processes take time and are challenging to develop. The EU-funded MATISSE project will develop a model-based framework for automating the development, monitoring, and testing of digital twins and simulation properties for digital twin validation and for developing digital twin toolchains for complex industrial system validation.
Objective
Thanks to the advances in information technology, modern industrial systems are becoming increasingly intelligent and autonomous;
thus their requirements for, e.g. correctness, availability, traceability and reliability, are also increasing. Monitoring, analysis and
diagnosis of such industrial systems became pivotal and fueled the development of virtualization and simulation solutions such as
digital twins.
In a nutshell, digital twins are virtual representations of actual systems or processes that serve as real-time digital counterparts for,
e.g. prediction, analysis, testing, and simulation. Developing digital twins is a complex process. On the one hand, it includes
developing digital twins at different levels of abstraction of the system to allow one to focus on different relevant aspects (e.g
behavioural, logical, physical). On the other hand, it must ensure the correctness of digital twins with respect to the system
specifications and the respective level of abstraction, and the federation enabling the communication between digital twins
conceived as exchange and resume of models.
This project aims to develop a model-based framework addressing the above-mentioned challenges by i) automating the creation of
digital twins for the simulation, monitoring and testing of functional and non-functional properties ii) continuous validating digital
twins to meet the required properties and iii) developing a multidomain and automated digital twin toolchain for the verification and
validation of complex industrial systems based on digital twins. We foresee that this project will positively impact the efficiency of
such systems by reducing their time to value and by increasing their final quality.
