The power of the Digital Twin: mirroring the product’s real-world experience via simulation

A present-day glimpse into the future

Beyond monitoring the performance of assets, the digital twin offers manufacturers an opportunity to transform their businesses by enabling the creation of new streams of revenue based on high-value services. Rather than just selling a piece of machinery, manufacturers can sell the uptime associated with that piece of machinery. Using a digital twin enables manufacturers to save on their warranty and insurance costs while proactively optimizing a product’s design and operation. Join this session to hear from a panel of experts and thought leaders on the issues involved, the emerging solutions and the future perspectives.

The session is a virtual round table, chaired by Giulio Cenci and Alessandro Mellone from EnginSoft Italy. The event consists of two macro moments: the first one it is a sequence of speeches by the speakers conducted by the chairmen, while the second one is a brief open discussion in which the experts openly discuss with each other with questions and answers.

Audun Grimstad | SAP Norway

Originally known for leadership in enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, SAP has evolved to become a market leader in industry end-to-end enterprise application software, database, analytics, intelligent technologies covering the entire technology stack for enabling Industry 4.0. A market leader in Asset Management systems and PLM solutions, now made even stronger through the strategic partnership with Siemens TeamCenter in the PLM domain, SAP provides the Digital Thread that ties all information together over the product lifecycle. The concept- and the efficient use of Digital Twins are key to ensuring efficient processes over the product lifecycle. This is achieved by facilitating TCO reductions, improving the product and process footprint, and increasing the level and quality of service offerings for products. The presentation will briefly summarise how the Digital Twin is used in both a product centric context, i.e. as seen from a PLM perspective, and in an Asset Management context, i.e. as seen from an Operations & Maintenance perspective, and of course how this is tied together in a closed-loop engineering perspective.

A prototype of the CastorONE Stinger Digital Twin has been built and validated using the analysis results from the Design Phase (2012) to perform user-friendly pre-, analysis and post-processing of the future developments include as follows:
- irregular wave analysis or/and vessel motion as measured in the field;
- comparison of the Digital Twin model results with field measurements;
- diagnosis of field measurements to assess the stinger structural Integrity status, maintenance and types of inspections.
The CastorONE Stinger Digital Twin can be further implemented to optimize and reduce the stinger inspection programme, to control stinger performance and excessive loads during the operational life and to guide the inspection programme.

LPT (Low Pressure Turbine) shaft multistage production line at GAN starts from forging, and foresees several operations which include turning the internal and outer diameter, bottle boring, milling, grinding and several surface treatments, together with multiple distributed inspection stages. Along the shaft production process defects are generated and progressively compensated with several procedures, mainly aimed on runout errors minimization and surface quality optimization. The operational complexity is further increased by the specific operators’ competencies required for the diverse process stages and the routing and tracking of parts at different stages of production. The Digital Twin builds on process and manufacturing systems models, integrated into an optimization workflow. Information on resources and part statuses are collected from the floor using operators HMIs and an IIOT stack. Planning and scheduling information is run through the digital twin in order to identify the best policies for resource allocation. KPI are computed such as order completion estimates and performance KPI. This solution aims at reducing overall production cost and time, boosting current production rates and making production targets more reliable.

Tunnelling = 60% of BYTP activity, 400km built. Ground freezing is most power technique in difficult grounds but requires much attention and care because ephemera, sensitive and dangerous when not controlled. Simulation helps anticipate what is necessary to develop (drilling, piping, refrigeration), time & cost. Simulation helps analyse real behaviour and understand differences with instrumentation & monitoring.

An early commitment to capture electronic network data has placed the water industry in an enviable position for the new digital age. ICMLive is already alerting water companies to potential floods before a weather front reaches a catchment. This gives time for operators to take remedial action. However, what action should they take? Is there time to find a suitable answer? By using an AI-driven approach, solutions can be learnt from live data and provided back to the operator in real time. The presentation will demonstrate how this new approach responds to events triggered by ICMLive with remedial action.
