Abstract

This work presents a Digital Twin (DT) architecture for smart production cells tested on a case of automated drone assembly. In this Industry 4.0 setting each step of the robotic assembly sequence is carefully monitored through feedback from each hardware component being relayed to the overall smart factory, where it is located through an IoT messaging protocol. Through this case study, we illustrate how robotics-centered DTs are programmed through simple visual programming blocks, and assisted by detailed simulation, can be a powerful tool for facilitating production in smart factories.
