A generic tri-model-based approach for product-level digital twin development in a smart manufacturing environment

Smart manufacturing, as an emerging manufacturing paradigm, leverages massive in-context data from manufacturing systems for intelligent decision makings. In such context, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) play a key role in digitizing manufacturing systems and integrating multiple systems together for collaborative works. Amongst different levels of smartness and connectedness of CPS, Digital Twin (DT), as an exact digital copy of a physical object...
