“…The sensors and vision systems capture real-time data on product manufacturing, to provide inputs to a 'process digital twin', potentially applicable to highly automated remanufacturing facilities. Abramovici et al (2017) described the use of a 'product digital twin' allowing MoL reconfiguration options to be presented to the user via IoT and then realised, based on the results of virtual evaluation and personal preferences. demonstrated a digital twin-based system for the recovery/remanufacturing of WEEE, whereas Lejon and Jeppsson (2015) demonstrated the extension of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, to support product instances and provide links to a dashboard using a low-powered wireless sensor network.…”

This paper reviews the literature on the emerging digital technologies of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) focussed on the applicability of the Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in remanufacturing. Inspired by the frameworks developed to support exploration and realisation of I4.0 technologies for disassembly, the paper discusses the same emerging technologies in the wider context of remanufacturing. Trends and gaps have been identified from a value-creation perspective that encompasses the product to be remanufactured, the remanufacturing equipment and processes adopted and related organisation issues. Findings suggest there is a need to explore the connection of cyber-physical systems to the IoT to support smart remanufacturing, whilst aligning with evolving information and communication infrastructures and circular economy business models. The review highlights twenty-nine research topics that require attention to support this field.

“…Söderberg et al (2017) also discussed Digital Twin-based real-time geometry assurance for individualised product production. Abramovici et al (2017) researched the reconfiguration of smart products during their use phase across different engineering domains. The reconfiguration is enabled by virtual product twins that contain models and data of all virtual and physical product instances along the entire product lifecycle.…”

Smart manufacturing is the core idea of the fourth industrial evolution. For a smart manufacturing shop floor, real-time monitoring, simulation and prediction of manufacturing operations are vital to improve the production efficiency and flexibility. In this paper, the Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and Digital Twin technologies are introduced to build the interconnection and interoperability of a physical shop floor and corresponding cybershop floor. A Digital Twin-based Cyber-Physical Production System (DT-CPPS) is further established, and the configuring mechanism, operating mechanism and real-time data-driven operations control of DT-CPPS are discussed in detail. It is expected that DT-CPPS will provide the basis for shop floors to march towards smart manufacturing.

“…However, the basic principles of the concept have been presented earlier, for example by Grieves in 2002 on his university lecture slides [5] and by Främling et al in 2003 [6]. Terms used for similar or partially overlapping concepts include digital counterpart [7], virtual twin [8], virtual object [9], product agent [10], and avatar [11]. While certain technology fields commonly use some of these terms, they have not caught wider public attention.…”

The paper presents first experiences on an overhead crane platform targeted for university education, research, and innovation purposes. The main contributions feature a description of projects from the first year after the inauguration of the crane platform. To provide a basic perception on the potential of the platform, the paper presents the basic technical properties as well as opportunities and challenges of the crane platform. Digital Twin concept has been selected as a focus of the research activities on the platform. Hence, the paper reviews status of the term Digital Twin. Results describe experience-based observations on how university should manage an education, research, and innovation platform while collaborating with industry partners.
