The digital transformation is one of the main strategies in the focus of industry and society today. Within the concept of Industry 4.0 companies are trying to redesign their design-, production-and logistic-processes to meat the challenges of rapidly changing requirements and a growing complexity of products as well as services associated with these products. Powerful cloud-platforms enable the implementation of the internet of things (IOT) and a lot of companies provide so called IOT-hubs. These IOT-hubs are capable to integrate the data of billions of physical devices. These so called digital twins collect sensor data of the physical devices and in some cases a bidirectional communication is also possible.
