Implementing Digital Twins of Smart Factories with Interval Algebra
Piotr Dziurzanski, Jerry Swan, Soares Indrusiak Leandro and Jose Ramos
This paper presents an interval algebra that can be used to create an analytic description of a smart factory. Such a description (recently termed a `digital twin' of the factory) is used to evaluate alternative manufacturing configurations as part of a search-based optimisation process. Several extensions are proposed to the interval algebra for specifying smart factory production line details. A number of real-life manufacturing scenarios are described, related to Wire-cut Electrical Discharge Machining. The experimental results show the applicability and scalability of the proposed method.
