Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is considered a natural
evolution of the technology of CAD/CAM which by itself evolved by
the integration of CAD and CAM. Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT, USA) is credited with pioneering the development in
both CAD and CAM.
The first major innovation in machine control is the Numerical
Control (NC), demonstrated at MIT in 1952.
Early Numerical Control Systems were all basically hardwired
systems, since these were built with discrete systems or with later first
generation integrated chips.
7. CIMS
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
Early NC machines used paper tape as an input medium. Every NC
machine was fitted with a tape reader to read paper tape and transfer the
program to the memory of the machine tool block by block.
Mainframe computers were used to control a group of NC machines
by mid 60's. This arrangement was then called Direct Numerical
Control (DNC) as the computer bypassed the tape reader to transfer the
program data to the machine controller.
By late 60's mini computers were being commonly used to control
NC machines. At this stage NC became truly soft wired with the
facilities of mass program storage, offline editing and software logic
control and processing. This development is called Computer
Numerical Control (CNC).
8. CIMS
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing engineers also started using computers for such tasks
like inventory control, demand forecasting, production planning and
control etc. CNC technology was adapted in the development of co-
ordinate measuring machine's (CMMs) which automated inspection.
Robots were introduced to automate several tasks like machine loading,
materials handling, welding, painting and assembly. All these
developments led to the evolution of flexible manufacturing cells and
flexible manufacturing systems in late 70's.
9. CIMS
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
Since 70's, numerical controllers are being designed around
microprocessors, resulting in compact CNC systems.
A further development to this technology is the distributed numerical
control (also called DNC) in which processing of NC program is carried
out in different computers operating at different hierarchical levels –
typically from mainframe host computers to plant computers to the
machine controller.
Today the CNC systems are built around powerful 32 bit and 64 bit
microprocessors. PC based systems are also becoming increasingly
popular.
10. CIMS
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED
MANUFACTURING
If we review the manufacturing scenario during 80's we will find that
the manufacturing is characterized by a few islands of automation. In the
case of design, the task is well automated. In the case of manufacture,
CNC machines, DNC systems, FMC, FMS etc provide tightly controlled
automation systems. Similarly computer control has been implemented
in several areas like manufacturing resource planning, accounting, sales,
marketing and purchase. Yet the full potential of computerization could
not be obtained unless all the segments of manufacturing are integrated,
permitting the transfer of data across various functional modules. This
realization led to the concept of computer integrated manufacturing.
Thus the implementation of CIM required the development of whole lot
of computer technologies related to hardware and software.

14. CIMS
NATURE AND ROLE OF THEELEMENTS OF CIM SYSTEM:
1. Marketing: The need for a product is identified by the marketing
division. The specifications of the product, the projection of
manufacturing quantities and the strategy for marketing the product
are also decided by the marketing department.
2. Product Design: The design department of the company establishes
the initial database for production of a proposed product. In a CIM
system this is accomplished through activities such as geometric
modeling and computer aided design while considering the product
requirements and concepts generated by the creativity of the design
engineer.
15. CIMS
1. Planning: The planning department takes the database established
by the design department and enriches it with production data and
information to produce a plan for the production of the product.
Planning involves several subsystems dealing with materials, facility,
process, tools, manpower, capacity, scheduling, outsourcing,
assembly, inspection, logistics etc. In a CIM system, this planning
process should be constrained by the production costs and by the
production equipment and process capability, in order to generate an
optimized plan.
2. Purchase: The purchase departments is responsible for placing the
purchase orders and follow up, ensure quality in the production
process of the vendor, receive the items, arrange for inspection and
supply the items to the stores or arrange timely delivery depending
on the production schedule for eventual supply to manufacture and
assembly.
16. CIMS
NATURE AND ROLE OF THEELEMENTS OF CIM SYSTEM:
1. Manufacturing Engineering: Manufacturing Engineering is the
activity of carrying out the production of the product, involving
further enrichment of the database with performance data and
information about the production equipment and processes. In CIM,
this requires activities like CNC programming, simulation and
computer aided scheduling of the production activity.
2. Factory Automation Hardware: Factory automation equipment
further enriches the database with equipment and process data,
resident either in the operator or the equipment to carry out the
production process. In CIM system this consists of computer
controlled process machinery such as CNC machine tools, flexible
manufacturing systems (FMS), Computer controlled robots, material
handling systems, computer controlled assembly systems, flexibly
automated inspection systems and so on.
17. CIMS
NATURE AND ROLE OF THEELEMENTS OF CIM SYSTEM:
1. Warehousing: Warehousing is the function involving storage and
retrieval of raw materials, components, finished goods as well as
shipment of items. In today's complex outsourcing scenario and the
need for just-in-time supply of components and subsystems, logistics
and supply chain management assume great importance.
2. Finance: Finance deals with the resources pertaining to money.
Planning of investment, working capital, and cash flow control,
realization of receipts, accounting and allocation of funds are the
major tasks of the finance departments.
3. Information Management: Information Management is perhaps
one of the crucial tasks in CIM. This involves master production
scheduling, database management, communication, manufacturing
systems integration and management information systems.
18. CIMS
Relationship between automation and CIM by developing a conceptual model of
manufacturing.
In the figure Model of manufacturing, showing (a] the factory as a processing pipeline
where the physical manufacturing activities are performed, and (b) the information-
processing activities that support manufacturing as a ring that surrounds the factory

the production operations.
19. CIM
Computer integrated manufacture is concerned with providing computer
assistance, control and high level integrated automation at all levels of
manufacturing and other industry, by linking islands of automation into
distributed processing system.

26. CIMS
REASONS FOR AUTOMATING
The important reasons for automating include the following:
1. Increased productivity: Higher production rates (output per hour) are
achieved with automation than with the corresponding manual
operations.
2. High cost of labor: Machines can produce at higher rates of output,
the use of automation results in a lower cost per unit of product.
3. Labor shortages: In many advanced nations there has been a general
shortage of labor. Labor shortages also stimulate the development of
automation as a substitute for labor.
4. Trend of labor toward the service sector: This trend has been
especially prevalent in the advanced countries. A tendency for people to
view factory work as tedious, demeaning, and dirty. This view has
caused them to seek employment in the service sector of the economy.
5. Safe: By automating the operation and transferring the operator from
an active participation to a supervisory role, work is made safer.
27. CIMS
REASONS FOR AUTOMATING
6. High cost of raw materials: The high cost of raw materials in
manufacturing results in the need for greater efficiency in using these
materials. The reduction of scrap is one of the benefits of automation.
7. Improved product quality: Automated operations not only produce
parts at faster rates than do their manual counterparts, but they produce
parts with greater consistency and conformity to quality specifications.
8. Reduced manufacturing lead time: Automation allows the
manufacturer to reduce the time between customer order and product
delivery.
28. CIMS
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Automation Control In Industry
The main advantages of automation are:
Replacing human operators in tasks that involve hard physical work.
Replacing humans in tasks done in dangerous environments (i.e. fire,
space, volcanoes, nuclear facilities, underwater, etc.)
Performing tasks that are beyond human capabilities of size, weight,
speed, endurance, etc.
Economy improvement: Automation may improve in economy of
enterprises, society or most of humanity. For example, when an
enterprise invests in automation, technology recovers its investment; or
when a state or country increases its income due to automation like
Germany or Japan in the 20th Century.
Reduces operation time and work handling time significantly.
29. CIMS
Advantages And Disadvantages Of Automation Control In Industry
The main disadvantages of automation are:
Unemployment rate increases due to machines replacing humans and
putting those humans out of their jobs.
Technical Limitation: Current technology is unable to automate all the
desired tasks.
Security Threats/Vulnerability: An automated system may have limited
level of intelligence, hence it is most likely susceptible to commit error.
Unpredictable development costs: The research and development cost
of automating a process may exceed the cost saved by the automation
itself.
High initial cost: The automation of a new product or plant requires a
huge initial investment in comparison with the unit cost of the product,
although the cost of automation is spread in many product batches of
things
