Digital Twins in Tracking Objects in Industrial Settings: From Tracking Items to Tracking Work in Progress
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Digital Twins have been used in industrial or manufacturing settings as digital replicas of physical objects, either material or machinery. This work proposes a platform that builds on information of lower-level digital twins to inform and contextualize upper-level digital twins. The proposed approach is demonstrated through a case study platform that aims to be able to track the work in progress status of manufacturing orders, and is a work in progress work which is being developed in the scope of a project in the textile and clothing (T&C) industrial sector. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of inferring upper-level digital twins from lower-level digital twins already in place in industries of the T&C sector.
