A Digital Twin based Service Oriented Application for a 4.0 Knowledge Navigation in the Smart Factory
Open accessAbstract
This research illustrates how a ‘Knowledge as a Service’ approach endows a 3.0 digitalized factory to become a 4.0 Smart Factory. An application prototype based on a Digital Twin as Service Provider for a 4.0 knowledge fruition has been designed and developed to enable operators facing the highly dynamic factory floor and to have their ‘virtual eyes and hands’ on the physical system. The application has been deployed in a real factory floor and test results show its potential benefits on the industrial performances in terms of productivity (cycle and setup times) and of process quality standards (production waste rate).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
