Digital Twin

-

 

With the development of Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing will be widely used to produce customized components. However, it is rather time-consuming and expensive to produce components with sound structure and good mechanical properties using additive manufacturing by a trial-and-error approach. To obtain optimal process conditions, numerous experiments are needed to optimize the process variables within given machines and processes. Digital twins (DT) are defined as a digital representation of a production system or service or just an active unique product characterized by certain properties or conditions. They are the potential solution to assist in overcoming many issues in additive manufacturing, in order to improve part quality and shorten the time to qualify products. The DT system could be very helpful to understand, analyze and improve the product, service system or production. However, the development of genuine DT is still impeded due to lots of factors, such as the lack of a thorough understanding of the DT concept, framework, and development methods. Moreover, the linkage between existing brownfield systems and their data are under development. This paper aims to summarize the current status and issues in DT for additive manufacturing, in order to provide more references for subsequent research on DT systems.

Logicat Representaion of Digital Twin

Technology Types

There are three main purposes to implement a DT:

  • A Product Digital Twin – to guarantee reliable design in product development and improvements;
  • A Production Digital Twin – to improve production planning and manufacturing;
  • A Performance Digital Twin – to capture, analyse and act on data while an asset is on operation.



Components & enablers

The DT infrastructure consists essentially out of 3 parts:

  • The Engine is responsible for operation of the central multi-user database as well as several data management functions.
  • The installed sensors and corresponding interfaces are the components obtain data and transfer within another.
  • The implemented User Interface is providing sufficient functionality such as graphical data visualization.

Advantages & field of application

The DT approach promises to improve utilization of data gathered from e.g. market participants and energy traders, generation units and power plants as well as TSO’s grid infrastructure. It can be discussed as a useful tool to affect data-driven performances in future power grids; appropriately in Power System Operation and its grid planning or in Power System Economics and its local flexibility markets.


Best practice performance

Together with Siemens AG, Fingrid introduced an electrical DT model (ELVIS) to affect their asset and operation management as well as infrastructure investment planning. Meanwhile, the DT model is used to develop several investment scenarios considering different policy frameworks. In conclusion, the data collection and verification process takes less than 20 % of the time that it used to take.

The American Electric Power (AEP) established a similar project to obtain a reduction of time and costs associated with grid and market modelling efforts manually. Furthermore, an advanced data governance foundation to support its investment strategy were implemented.

 Top Mobile App Development Tools That Are Open Source Open-source mobile application development tools can be a boon to developers due to their free (and, obviously, open-source) nature.  Take advantage of these if you’re  white labeling apps  as well.  "I'm a major devotee to prototyping and early approval. Prior to jumping into improvement, I energetically suggest outlining your application thought on the paper and emphasizing it until your intended interest group gets it. Prototyping on Paper is an incredible decision that can save you long stretches of advancement work later. In the event that you set clear objectives, you can go from thought to working model in one day."  The mishap of open source, nonetheless, frequently incorporates a more extreme expectation to absorb information than a portion of their paid partners. On the off chance that you have the opportunity to learn them, it very well might merit saving the additional dollars. Here are some open source po

 3D Password Technology Authentication is one of the most important security services provided to the system by the different authentication schemes or algorithms. To protect any system authentication must be provided so that only authorized persons can have the right to use or handle that system & data related to that system securely. There are many authentication algorithms are available some are effective & secure but having some drawbacks. Previously there are many authentication techniques were introduced such as graphical passwords, text passwords, Biometric authentication, etc. generally, there are four types of authentication techniques are available such as: -Knowledge-based: means what you know. Textual password is the best example of this authentication scheme. – -Token-based: means what you have. This includes Credit cards, ATM cards, etc as example. -Biometrics: means what you are. Includes Thumb impression, etc. -Recognition Based: means what you recognize. Includ

REACT NATIVE   Create native apps for Android and iOS using React Respond Native joins the most awesome aspects of local advancement with React, a top tier JavaScript library for building UIs.  Utilize a bit—or a great deal. You can utilize React Native today in your current Android and iOS ventures or you can make an entirely different application without any preparation.  Written in JavaScript—rendered with native code Respond natives render to local stage UI, which means your application utilizes a similar local stage APIs other applications do.  Numerous stages, one React. Make stage explicit variants of segments so a solitary codebase can share code across stages. With React Native, one group can keep two stages and offer a typical innovation—React.  Native Development For Everyone Respond Native allows you to make genuinely local applications and doesn't bargain your clients' encounters. It gives a center arrangement of stage freethinker local parts like View, Text, and I
