Presentation by Diego Rovere Technology Transfer System FIWARE Global Summit 21-22 May 2019 - Genoa, Italy

1. MID3
Manufacturing Industry Data-Driven Digital Twin
Speaker: Diego Rovere

2. MID3 Objectives

3. MID3 Focus
Digital Twin of the I4.0Lab (Polytechnic of Milan) for:
1. factory constant status monitoring
2. behavioural models adaptation
3. what-if analysis
MIDIH-RA as real-to-digital synchronization framework

4. Expected results
Full simulation model of the I4.0Lab synchronized with the
actual factory, performing constant status monitoring and
performance forecasting and deployed on the MIDIH
infrastructure
TTS Simulation Engine equipped with MIDIH Unit Databus
Connector

7. MID3 Management Module
MID3 Management Module supports
• continuous data acquisition from the
field
• synchronization of simulation model
parameters
• plant simulation configuration and
control
• MES interfacing

11. MID3 Results assessment

12. KPI
Stations covering Percentage of simulated processing stations of the
“I4.0 Lab” POLIMI didactic plant respect to the total
number of physical stations.
100%
Production lead time
deviation
Deviation of the lead time calculated by the
simulation model and the real one on all the product
variants
<10%
Models reuse Reuse into the simulation of the 3D models already
existing of the plant.
100%
Integrated stations Percentage of stations monitored through the MIDIH
infrastructure of the I4.0 Lab based on Arrowhead and
mirroring their parameters on the digital twin
100%

13. Lesson learnt
real applications of advanced I4.0 technologies
create immediately benefits in terms of
perception and understanding
openness and extensibility
of the frameworks like FIWARE create
value for the whole ecosystem

14. MID3 Outlook

15. Near future improvements
Improve the Digital Twin modularity level
Move to “Digital Twin as a service” through
FIWARE infrastructure

16. THANK
YOU!
